The objectives of the study were to know the relationship between self-efficacy for aging and mood as coping in older adults from Ica and to analyze the relationship between the two according to sociodemographic variables. The research is experimental, cross-sectional and correlational. The sampling was intentional non-probabilistic and the sample is made up of 142 older adults from Ica. For the measurement, two two instruments were used, Self-efficacy Scale for aging and Coping Humor Scale. By way of results, a positive and statistically significant correlation was found between both variables (rho = .254). In addition to significant differences in relation to sex (p> .048) and assisted center (p> .000) in self-efficacy for aging; and in the perception of economic income (p <.042) and physical activity (p> .000) in humor as coping. It’s stated that the older adults in the research have a social support network of relatives or their peer groups, which makes it easier to face the declines of this stage. The instrumental support received from the institutions is related to global self-efficacy and mastery of social activities. It is concluded that self-efficacy and humor as coping function as variables that provide a healthy old age and that sociodemographic variables allow a better understanding of factors that can influence the development of older adults.
