One hundred mobile and homebound elderly (65+) participants from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada were administered Wisocki's Worry Scale, a thirty-five-item questionnaire relating to concerns about finances, health, and social conditions, and requested to self-monitor their worry behavior over a three-day period. Seniors were found to be relatively worry-free. Nevertheless, significant correlations were found between the Worry Scale and measures of mental and physical health. Self-monitoring by seniors provided a more direct validation of the Worry Scale. Results were comparable to those found in the literature with samples from the United States.
