Sibling Disconnectedness in Midlife and Cognitive Functioning in Later Life
ObjectivesSibling ties are among the most enduring of all social relationships, so the loss or absence of this long-standing bond may undermine the well-being of older adults. This study examined whether and how disconnectedness from adult siblings (i.e., no contacts/interactions and emotional distance) is linked to older adults' cognitive functioning.MethodsWe use data from four waves of the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (1993-2020) and structura…
Daily Stress and Cortisol Patterns in Midlife and Older Parents of Children With Developmental Disabilities
Objectives The current study aims to investigate the association between daily stressful experiences and daily diurnal cortisol in midlife and older parents of children with developmental disabilities (DD) and a matched sample of parents of children without DD. Methods Analyses were employed using data from the third wave of the National Study of Daily Experiences (NSDE 3) within the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study, a population-based …
High School Curricular Rigor and Cognitive Function among White Older Adults
Most research on the strong relationship between education and cognitive aging has focused on years of schooling. Using data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study-a sample of White persons born in 1939-we explored whether greater curricular rigor in high school was also associated with better cognitive function in later life. We estimated multilevel structural equation models in data from 2,749 participants who attended 308 Wisconsin high schools…
Longitudinal trajectories of adult sibling relationship quality and psychological well‐being
Life Course Associations of Sibling Relationships and Cognitive Functioning in Late Adulthood
The results suggest that childhood experiences within the family of origin may have lasting effects on adult sibling relationships and the cognitive functioning of older adults. This study highlights the potential cognitive benefits of frequent contact with adult siblings, underscoring the importance of nurturing sibling relationships throughout one's life
The long-term effects of formal child support
Objective and BackgroundPrevious research shows the benefits of formal child support to children during their childhood; however, the long-term effect of child support receipt on outcomes as adults has not been studied. This inquiry examines whether adults who received formal child support as children have different labor market outcomes than those who did not.MethodWe conducted two sets of analyses with complementary strengths to examine young a…
Childhood exposure to family violence and adult sibling relationships
Objective This study investigated how experiencing childhood family violence can affect aspects of adult sibling relationships. Background Established evidence shows the long‐term effects of childhood adversity on several domains of adult lives. Few studies, however, have examined the impact that childhood family violence exposure has on sibling relationships later in adulthood. To address this gap, this study examined the latent class structure …
Exploring Factors Associated with Perceived Changes in Severity of Elder Abuse
Elder abuse is a pressing problem that demands social attention in South Korea. This study aims to examine the characteristics of older adults and their family perpetrators that may influence the perceived severity of abuse by older adults using a nationally representative sample among older Koreans. We analyzed 952 community-dwelling older Koreans from a population-based survey of the Survey of Elderly Care and Welfare Need. The analytic sample …
Different Types of Childhood Experience With Mothers and Caregiving Outcomes in Adulthood
OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND: The current study examines the types of childhood experiences with mothers (i.e., maternal abuse, affection, discipline) among caregivers of aging mothers, and investigates whether membership in specific latent classes, particularly maternal maltreatment, is associated with psychological functioning among caregivers. METHOD: Using data from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS), we used the Bolck, Croon, and Hagenaars…
Childhood Adversities, Midlife Health, and Elder Abuse Victimization
This innovative study advances our understanding mechanisms through which childhood trauma influences abuse in late life. Boosting health in middle adulthood could help prevent elder abuse. Other implications for clinical practice, treatment, and future research on elder abuse are discussed
Re-experiencing Violence Across the Life Course
Findings suggest that the phenomenon of revictimization may occur not only in early and middle adulthood, but also in late life. To advance our understanding of victimization across the life course, future research on root causes of elder abuse should include histories of child abuse
The Role of Current Family Relationships in Associations Between Childhood Abuse and Adult Psychological Functioning
Childhood abuse appears to hinder perceived availability of family support in adulthood, which may undermine the psychological functioning of adults with a history of childhood abuse. To improve their psychological health, interventions should focus on facilitating supportive and functional family relationships
Early Parental Abuse and Daily Assistance to Aging Parents With Disability
Daily assistance to parents with disability needs to be examined in the context of the relationship history with parents. The impact of childhood abuse can linger long after the actual incident. Frequent early emotional abuse from parents was associated with greater distress when the middle-aged provided daily assistance to their aging parents
Childhood Maltreatment and Psychological Well-Being in Later Life
This study suggests that, despite childhood maltreatment, parent-child relationships persist throughout life, and the continuing relationship with an abusive parent may undermine adult victims' psychological well-being. When intervening with mental health issues of adults who have experienced childhood maltreatment, their unresolved issues with the parent should be properly addressed
Child Sexual Abuse and Depression in Late Life for Men
This innovative, population-based, longitudinal study demonstrated that CSA can undermine mental health for men across the life span and into old age. Social support appears to mitigate these deleterious effects. In early, middle, and late adulthood, practitioners should assess for CSA and strengthen support resources for male survivors
Functional Decline and Emotional Elder Abuse
History of Childhood Abuse and Intergenerational Support to Mothers in Adulthood
The authors examined the association between maternal childhood abuse and the frequency of providing social support to mothers when the victim is an adult and investigated the mediating effects of internal working models (self-esteem, positive relations with others) and maladaptive coping. Using data from the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States II, they analyzed a sample of 887 adult children using a structural equation mo…
Patterns and Predictors of Enactment of State Childhood Obesity Legislation in the United States
Objectives. We developed a content review for state policies related to childhood obesity, and we have quantitatively described the predictors of enactment. Methods. We collected an inventory of 2006 through 2009 state legislation on 27 childhood obesity topics from legislative databases. We coded each bill for general information, topic content, and other appropriate components. We conducted a general descriptive analysis and 3 multilevel analys…
