Answer to Question 1

Reminiscence, sometimes called life review or nostalgia, is a common phenomenon among older adults. Researchers Wong and Watt outlined six categories of reminiscences. Integrative reminiscence is an attempt to achieve a sense of self-worth, coherence, and reconciliation with the past through discussion and acceptance of past conflicts and losses. Instrumental reminiscence reviews goal-directed activities and attainments, reflecting a sense of control and success in overcoming life's obstacles. Transitive reminiscence passes on cultural heritage and personal legacy, including direct moral instruction and stories with clear moral implications. Escapist reminiscence glorifies the past and deprecates the present, yearning for the good old days. Obsessive reminiscence is preoccupied with failure, guilt, bitterness, and despair. Narrative reminiscence is descriptive rather than interpretive. It does not serve clear intrapsychic or interpersonal functions. Integrative and instrumental reminiscence are related to successful aging. Obsessive reminiscence is associated with less successful adjustment in later life. Reminiscence can be positively or negatively related to better mental health. It remains to be seen if reminiscence can be structured or guided in such a way that it helps older adults review and come to terms with their lives

Answer to Question 2

Happy families reciprocate each other's positive actions and overlook one another's negative behavior. Families with troubled relationships get caught in negative cycles of interaction. They ignore positive actions but reciprocate negative ones. A particular problem in intimate relationships is the demand and withdrawal pattern, where one partner becomes increasingly demanding and the other withdraws further and further. Other evidence shows that conflicts in troubled families are more likely to continue over time and spill over into other family relationships.
