  • A randomized controlled trial of the psychosocial impact of providing internet training and access to older adults

    H White, Eleanor S Mcconnell et al.ARTICLEAging & Mental Health2002

    The Internet (electronic mail and the World Wide Web) may provide new opportunities for communication that can help older adults avoid social isolation. This randomized controlled trial assessed the psychosocial impact of providing Internet access to older adults over a five-month period. One hundred volunteers from four congregate housing sites and two nursing facilities were randomly assigned to receive Internet training or to a wait list contr…

  • Evidence for a black-white crossover in all-cause and coronary heart disease mortality in an older population

    M C Corti, Jack M Guralnik et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1999Citada por: 11Referencias: 25

    OBJECTIVES: This cohort study evaluated racial differences in mortality among Blacks and Whites 65 years and older. METHODS: A total of 4136 men and women (1875 Whites and 2261 Blacks) living in North Carolina were interviewed in 1986 and followed up for mortality until 1994. Hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause and cause-specific mortality were calculated, with adjustment for sociodemographic and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors. RESULTS: …

  • A test of generalizability of cardiovascular reactivity using a controlled ambulatory procedure

    William Gerin, Meryl Rosofsky et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1994

    This study tested the hypothesis that reports of poor generalizability of cardiovascular reactivity measured in the laboratory to changes observed during everyday life are due to a lack of standardization of activities and position (sitting, standing) in the latter situation. Thirty-seven subjects engaged in reactivity testing, and then in a 4-hour series of standardized activities outside the laboratory (controlled ambulatory phase), accompanied…

  • The multi-dimensional nature of active coping

    William Gerin, Carl F Pieper et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1992

    Some studies show that enhanced control increases cardiovascular reactivity; other studies show decreases. This disparity may be due to a confound: enhanced control may reduce reactivity, but effort accompanying active coping may increase it. The present study was designed to vary level of control and availability of active coping responses, while maintaining effort constant. Sixty female undergraduates performed word-search puzzles while blood p…

  • Social support in social interaction

    William Gerin, Carl F Pieper et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1992

    This study examines the possibility that social support operates as a moderator of cardiovascular reactivity, which may be a factor in the development of heart disease and hypertension. An experiment was performed in which each of 40 subjects was the object of verbal attack in a discussion of a controversial issue. In each session, one subject and three confederates participated. Two of the confederates argued with the subject; in half the groups…
