Abstract
The real threat – anticipation of danger – feeling insecure – uncertainty about the effects of activities accompanies people of all ages and in different life contexts. Real, and even only probable, lack of (dispositional and/or situational) ability, i.e. helplessness in the face of life tasks (not only developmental, but the most ordinary tasks of everyday life) for many aging and elderly people brings unpleasant emotional states (including, anxiety, apprehension and fear of existential nature). The losses of the internal resources of an aging and older people, that is, the possibilities of action that include not only the physical strength (sometimes indispensable to accomplish the task), but also dexterity (both intellectual and manipulative) and the willingness to perform the task. Moreover, in a fast changing (especially technologically) world, it happens that (not only) the senior lacks the appropriate knowledge and/or skills to perform a specific task. These can be assignments given to a senior by someone else or assigned by oneself. The latter, called own tasks, are important in fulfilling the needs of individual.
