Religious and Nonreligious Spirituality in Relation to Death Acceptance or Rejection
Meanings of religious and nonreligious spirituality are explored, with implications for death acceptance, death rejection, and life extension. In the first of two exploratory studies, 16 elders low on intrinsic religiosity were compared with 116 elders high in religiosity; they differed both in qualitative responses and on death attitudes. In the second, 48 elders were assessed on religious and nonreligious spirituality and compared on attitudes …
Elders' attitudes toward extending the healthy life span
Attachment relationships in old age
There is still relatively little known about attachment relationships late in life. This study investigated changes in number and identities of attachment figures in older adults' support networks. Participants were 80 married and widowed men and women aged 60-99 (M = 77.8). Each identified attachment figures for proximity seeking, secure base, and safe haven functions, ranked in importance; the Relationship Scales Questionnaire (Bartholomew & Ho…
Sibling Death and Death Fear in Relation to Depressive Symptomatology in Older Adults
Previously overlooked factors in elders' depressive symptomatology were examined, including death fear, sibling death, and sibling closeness. Participants were 150 elders (61 men, 89 women) aged 65-97 years with at least one sibling. Measures were proportion of deceased siblings, sibling closeness, the Death Fear Subscale of the Death Attitude Profile-Revised, and the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale (20-item adult form). Age a…
Fear of Death in Mid-Old Age
A transition model hypothesizes that the discrepancy between desired and expected time left to live is greater for mid-old persons than young-old persons. This discrepancy arouses a greater fear of death, which is influenced by age, health, and purpose in life. With the use of the Multidimensional Fear of Death Scale, 192 older adults (60 to 84 years of age) were assessed on these variables and death fear. In structural analyses, purpose in life …
God as the ultimate attachment figure for older adults
Attachment to God among older adults is an area of research that has been neglected thus far. The existence of such an attachment was explored in a study of 109 elders aged 70-97. A modest proportion of elders displayed a strong attachment to God, assessed by coding interview data for indicators of attachment. Strength of attachment to God was related (p < .05) to greater religiosity, greater fear of death, loss of other attachment figures, relig…
Fear of Death in Older Adults
Terror management theory asserts that death fear (fear of annihilation) is buffered by self-esteem and beliefs in literal and symbolic immortality achieved through participation in the cultural system. The aims of this study were to determine how variables suggested by the theory were related to fear of death measures. Participants were 123 Black and 265 White elders aged 60 to 100 years; they were assessed on the Multidimensional Fear of Death S…
Personal Meanings of Death in Older Adults and Young Adults in Relation to Their Fears of Death
Age and gender differences in personal meanings of death have been noted from late childhood to middle adulthood but have been little studied in older adults, for whom death is less remote. Also, such meanings have not been related to their fears of death. Groups of 78 young adults (aged 19-29) and 68 older adults (aged 70-97) were compared on the Personal Meanings of Death (Extinction, After-life, Motivator, Legacy) and on 4 Multidimensional Fea…
Hastening Death
This study determined the relationship of psychosocial and background variables to elders' end-of-life (EOL) decision preferences. Responding to 5 EOL decision scenarios depicting terminally ill elders, 200 elders aged 60-90 indicated preferences regarding extending life (EL), refusing treatment (RT), and assisted suicide (AS). They were also assessed on religiosity, values, fear of death, locus of control, health, socioeconomic status, and age. …
Personal Meanings of Death in Relation to Fear of Death
This study assessed death meanings and death fears held by 2 age groups of adults, related the death meanings to fear of death, and determined whether death meanings and fear of death depended on age and gender. Study participants were 265 college students (aged 19 to 55). Factor analysis of participant responses to 30 death-meaning items identified 3 dimensions of death meanings: Extinction, Afterlife, and Legacy. Hierarchical regression analyse…

Adult Children's Helping Behavior to Elderly Parents

Also included in the model were marital status of the adult child, filial obligation, mother's dependency, and interpersonal conflict with the mother. Data were obtained from 134 adult children with intact marriages a…

Children's School Grades and Sibling Structure
Children's school grades were examined in relation to birth order, sex of child, and sex of sibling. Subjects were 160 sixth grade children from two-child families. The grade-point-average, computed from end-of-year grades in five subject areas, was used as the dependent variable in analysis of variance. Girls received higher grades than boys and first-born children received higher grades when their sibling was a girl, while second born children …
