Abstract
The article presents the results of adaptation of the Scale of Subjective Age on a sample of the retirees living in the industrial city of Russia. The procedure of statistical verification of the «Age-of-me» method is detailed. The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (N=291), as well as the results of the correlation analysis, confirmed the factor and convergence validity of the scale on the sample of retirees. The scale shows an acceptable level of reliability of the scale in terms of internal consistency. The prospects of applying the technique in socio-psychological research are discussed.
