Daily Rumination Among Older Men and Women
These findings may be due in part to gender role socialization and women's greater kin-keeping and investment in family ties
Alcohol Use and Blood Pressure Among Older Couples
Findings indicated that spousal drinking concordance, although often associated with positive marital quality, may have negative long-term health effects
Gender Differences in Patterns and Correlates of Continued Substance Use among Patients in Methadone Maintenance Treatment
Background Continued substance use is common during opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment. There are still inconsistencies in how continued substance use and concurrent patterns of substance use among patients with OUD varies by gender. There is still more to learn regarding how factors associated with continued and concurrent use might differ for men and women in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT). Methods: This cross-sectional study examined p…
Midlife Children's and Older Mothers' Depressive Symptoms
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the link between midlife children's and older mothers' depressive symptoms, whether this link is exacerbated in highly empathic mother-child relationships (i.e., shared strong feelings of being loved, cared for, and understood in the mother-child tie), and whether these associations vary by children's gender. BACKGROUND: Empathic mother-child relationships in later life may intensify the link between midlif…
Discordant Chronic Conditions and Depressive Symptoms
Individual-level and couple-level discordant conditions may have lasting implications for depressive symptoms during midlife and older adulthood
So Close and Yet So Irritating
Results were partially consistent with the strength and vulnerability integration (SAVI) model, which proposes fewer age-related improvements in emotion regulation when individuals are unable to avoid tensions. Despite feeling just as negative as younger individuals, older individuals may be more resilient to tensions in their closest relationships
Life Problems and Perceptions of Giving Support
Giving support may be a stressful or rewarding experience, and little is known about how family members perceive giving support amid problems or crises. Using a sample of 226 mother-child dyads (mother mean age = 75.04 years; child mean age = 49.57 years), we examine how mothers and their middle-aged children perceive giving support in the context of life problems. Actor-partner interdependence models tested whether associations between problems …
Multiple Chronic Conditions in Spousal Caregivers of Older Adults With Functional Disability
Spousal caregivers with MCCs involving discordant management strategies appear to be at risk for adverse care-related outcomes and may benefit from support in maintaining their own health as well as their caregiving responsibilities
Conflict Strategies in the Parent–Adult Child Tie
Findings are consistent with the intraindividual stake hypothesis and imply that conflict strategies used with adult children may be more consequential for psychological well-being than those used with aging parents
The Psychosocial Implications of Managing Work and Family Caregiving Roles
An increasing number of adults, both men and women, are simultaneously managing work and family caregiving roles. Guided by the stress process model, we investigate whether 823 employees occupying diverse family caregiving roles (child caregiving only, elder caregiving only, and both child caregiving and elder caregiving, or 'sandwiched' caregiving) and their noncaregiving counterparts in the information technology division of a white-collar orga…
Intergenerational Support and Marital Satisfaction
Everyday support given to aging parents is a salient aspect of married life that may have implications for marital quality. Among 132 middle-aged couples drawn from Wave 1 of the Family Exchanges Study, the authors examined the moderating effects of each spouse's normative and motivational beliefs about helping parents on associations between the frequency of everyday support that wives and husbands gave to their own parents and marital satisfact…
Relationship Quality Between Older Fathers and Middle-Aged Children
Findings suggest that father-child relationship quality has significant implications for the well-being of both aging fathers and middle-aged daughters or sons
So Close and Yet So Irritating
