Developmental regulation with progressive vision loss
The present study addresses older adults' developmental regulation when faced with progressive and irreversible vision loss. We used the motivational theory of life span development as a conceptual framework and examined changes in older adults' striving for control over everyday goal achievement, and their association with affective well-being, in a sample of 364 older adults diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration. Using longitudinal da…
Change in Psychological Control in Visually Impaired Older Adults Over 2 Years
IADL plays an important role triggering a shift in adaptational strategies from selective control to CPC in visually impaired older adults and possibly other disabled populations
Tackling Vision-Related Disability in Old Age
This study used the life-span theory of control (Heckhausen, J., & Schulz, R.) to examine adaptation to disability in old age. A narrative approach to data collection was used to assess the strategies employed by 364 older adults with macular degeneration to deal with daily challenges. Findings revealed a rich array of strategies. Compensatory Primary Control was reported by nearly all respondents, Compensatory Secondary Control by a majority, an…
Perceived Overprotection
Findings indicate that support providers of older adults with visual impairment as well as vision rehabilitation service providers need to be aware of the detrimental impact of perceived overprotection
The Impact of Assistive Device Use on Disability and Depression Among Older Adults With Age-Related Vision Impairments
We propose that these differential effects result from the fact that optical devices optimize residual vision and thus allow for greater continuity in the way tasks are accomplished (i.e., reading still performed visually), whereas use of adaptive aids (e.g., talking books) involves learning new methods in order to compensate for lost functions and thus is not as desirable either functionally or psychologically
Good to have but not to use
Research documents a positive association between perceived support availability and well-being in later life. Other work shows that actually receiving support can have negative effects. Instrumental support receipt may be negative for persons with chronic impairment as it may emphasize their inability to accomplish daily tasks. This study contrasted the impact of perceived and received affective and instrumental support on adaptation to chronic …
Stability and Change in Social Negativity in Later Life
The differential pattern of stability and change over time in received versus initiated social negativity and their links to instrumental support suggest different origins for the initiation versus receipt of social negativity
Giving While in Need
Findings indicated that there may be feasible ways of providing support, even by older adults who are in need of support themselves

Effects of Positive and Negative Support Received and Provided on Adaptation to Chronic Visual Impairment
This study examined the effect of positive (instrumental and affective) and negative facets of family and friendship support both received and provided on adaptation to chronic physical impairment. Data on 570 elders with age-related vision loss were examined with 2 separate sets of hierarchical, multiple regression analyses, 1 for support received and 1 for support provided. In the first step, sociodemographic, health, and vision variables were …
Interactive Effect of Support From Family and Friends in Visually Impaired Elders
The interactive relationship of high and low friend and family support for adaptation to chronic vision impairment was examined in 241 men and women. Two 2 (High/Low Family Support) x 2 (High/Low Friend Support) x 2 (Gender) multivariate analyses of covariance tested for psychological well-being, one with qualitative support measures, the other with quantitative support measures. Two analyses of covariance models tested for adaptation to vision l…
The Importance of Friendship and Family Support in Adaptation to Chronic Vision Impairment
The importance of friendship and family support in adaptation for 241 elders experiencing age-related vision loss was examined. Adaptation was operationalized with two global measures of psychological well-being (life satisfaction, depressive symptoms) and a domain-specific measure, adaptation to vision loss. Hierarchical regression analyses tested the effects of sociodemographic, vision, health, and functional disability variables in the first s…
