Play It (Again) Sam
Studies suggest that disclosure alters representations of emotional or traumatic events and that linguistic parameters may index such change. Most work has been conducted among younger adults; hence, this report examined whether changes in the proportions of pronoun, emotion, and cognitive characteristics across two narrations predicted changes in mental and physical health outcomes in a later life sample. Black and White men and women ( N = 160)…
The Affective Paradox
Despite generally more challenging developmental, environmental, economic, health, and social contexts, minority populations in the United States often report a lower frequency of many negative affects. In some views, such findings reflect a reporting or response bias among minority groups. However, an alternate view suggests that reports of negative emotion differ because minorities do not consciously experience certain discrete emotions as freq…
Late Life Attachment in Context
Sharing the Good, Sharing the Bad
Results are discussed in terms of applications of the self-disclosure paradigm to developmentally and ethnically diverse groups
The influence of coping styles on mammography screening in a multiethnic sample
A total of 308 women from seven ethnic subpopulations (comprising major ethnic groups of Black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic White) were interviewed to examine their coping styles in response to an imagined breast cancer diagnosis and to determine relationships among ethnicity, access to mammography, coping styles, and mammography screening. There were ethnic subpopulation differences in the five coping styles identified (problem solving, social su…
Ethnic differences in patterns of social exchange among older adults
Using social capital and social exchange theories, this investigation examined ethnic variation in patterns of social exchange in two heterogeneous racial groups, Blacks and Whites in the United States, and the effects of education and income on these patterns. The sample was 1,043 people aged 65–86 years from four ethnic groups (US-born European-Americans, immigrant Russians/Ukrainians, US-born African-Americans, and immigrant English-speaking C…
Optimism and pessimism as predictors of physical and psychological health among grandmothers raising their grandchildren
Time spent in the united states and breast cancer screening behaviors among ethnically diverse immigrant women
Stress versus discrete negative emotions in the prediction of physical complaints
Reports of stress and negative emotion are important predictors of health. However, whether discrete emotions or stress measures are more useful, whether they contribute independently to outcome, and whether they relate to health equally across ethnic groups remain unclear. In the current study, 207 US-born European American, US-born African American, Black English-speaking Caribbean, and Dominican men aged 40 years and older completed measures o…
On the importance of being ethnic
The relation between coping with a possible prostate cancer diagnosis and screening behavior was examined in men from seven precise ethnic groups. Five coping styles differed in their likelihood of use across ethnic groups and had somewhat different associations with frequency of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. As expected, PSA test frequency differed among men from different ethnic groups and was differentially predicted by coping style…
Altruism Relates to Health in an Ethnically Diverse Sample of Older Adults
The existing literature indicates links between aspects of social network functioning and health outcomes. It is generally believed that networks that are larger or provide greater instrumental and emotional support contribute to improved health and, perhaps, greater longevity. Recently, it has been suggested that giving as well as receiving social support may be of benefit. On the basis of evolutionary theories of emotion and altruism, the curre…
Ethnic Variation in the Impact of Emotion and Emotion Regulation on Health
Although emotions and patterns of emotion regulation are central to models linking personality and health, the generalizability of these models to diverse populations of older adults remains untested. In this study, 1,364 community-dwelling women (aged 50-70 years) from six ethnic groups completed self-report measures of trait anger, inhibition, defensiveness, and health. As expected, reports of trait anger and emotion inhibition predicted poorer…
Breast Cancer Knowledge and Beliefs in Subpopulations of African American and Caribbean Women
Studying how cognitive factors relate to screening in well-defined minority groups will capacitate interventions suited to the knowledge and belief deficits that characterize populations of diverse women
Hostility and Anxiety Differentially Predict Cardiovascular Disease in Men and Women
Predicting Ethnic Variation in Adaptation to Later Life
Physical Hardiness and Styles of Socioemotional Functioning in Later Life
Although the aging literature suggests that there are many paths to later life adjustment, there have been few empirical attempts to identify different patterns of adaptation, or their relation to adaptive outcome. As a way to identify patterns of socioemotional functioning in later life associated with physical hardiness, a cluster analysis was applied to 11 measures of socioemotional functioning in a large sample (N = 1,085) of older adults (65…
Anger Experience and Anger Inhibition in Sub-Populations of African American and European American Older Adults and Relation to Circulatory Disease
This study examined ethnic differences in the link between anger experience and anger inhibition and that of circulatory disease (CD). To ascertain the effects of anger inhibition in older persons, health data from groups of African American, African Caribbean, Eastern European and European American adults were collected. Experienced anger and anger inhibition were significant predictors of CD only for the African American group and the relation …
Ethnic Variation in the Impact of Negative Affect and Emotion Inhibition on the Health of Older Adults
The relations between patterns of emotional experience, emotion inhibition, and physical health have been little studied in older adults or ethnically diverse samples. Testing hypotheses derived from work on younger adults, the authors examined the relations between negative affect and emotion inhibition and that of illness (hypertension, respiratory disease, arthritis, and sleep disorder) in a sample (N = 1,118) of community-dwelling older adult…
The uncharted waters of emotion
Attachment Styles in Older European American and African American Adults
Age and ethnicity differences appear to reflect cohort effects related to the impact of economic hardship on families earlier this century and racial prejudice. The high rates of dismissing attachment and low rates of secure attachment in this large urban population suggest that these individuals may be at risk for social isolation and poor health as they become older and more frail
Attachment Style and Emotion Regulation in Dementia Patients and their Relation to Caregiver Burden
One hundred and sixty-eight patients with mid- to late-stage dementia and their caregivers participated in a study of the relation between patient emotional characteristics, dementia symptomatology, and caregiver burden. Measures included premorbid attachment style, premorbid emotion regulation style, and behavioral symptoms of dementia. The attachment patterns (secure, avoidant, ambivalent) of these elderly patients resembled those obtained in s…
