Aging, Religion, and Spirituality
Our concern here is how religion and spirituality interact with aging – how aging affects religion and spirituality and how spirituality and religion affect aging. Aging generally increases the ability to perceive the spiritual elements of experience and also motivation to engage in intentional spiritual development. Most sages are elders. For most people, there is strong continuity of religious participation (whether nonexistent, sporadic, or fr…
Spirituality, Religion, and Aging
Religion and spirituality are enduring aspects of the human condition. Some of the earliest human records were accounts of the spirituality and religious culture of the day. Religion and spirituality have also fueled human conflict for thousands of years. Our concern here is how religion and spirituality interact with aging: how aging affects religion and spirituality, and how religion and spirituality affect aging
Continuity, Spiritual Growth, and Coping in Later Adulthood
Continuity of values, lifestyles, and relationships combines with spiritual growth in later life to provide most people a sense of direction and adequate resources for coping with changes that occur with aging. Being able to recognize threads of continuity and to perceive benefit from one's inner life are significant predictors of being able to maintain life satisfaction in the face of negative aspects of aging. Data from a 20-year longitudinal s…
On Including Religious and Spiritual Faith and Practice in Gerontological Research
U NIVERSITIES and colleges often espouse the value of interdisciplinary study, and gerontology is frequently cited as an exemplar of an interdisciplinary field of inquiry. It could be argued that this characterization has been good for gerontology in the academic milieu. Gerontology is viewed as intellectually vibrant and engaging, reaching across disciplinary boundaries. But is this characterization correct? Is gerontology interdisciplinary? Wha…
Continuity and Adaptation in Aging
Continuity and Adaptation in Aging
"Despite the undeniable physical, psychological, and social effects of aging, writes Robert C. Atchley, most older persons cope quite well and find considerable satisfaction in their later years. Part of the explanation for this finding is based on what Atchley calls continuity - the ability of older persons to maintain a strong sense of purpose and self in the face of the changes associated with aging. Continuity can help individuals evolve psyc…
Long-Range Antecedents of Functional Capability in Later Life
A number of demographic, social, psychological, lifestyle, and health characteristics have been advanced as precursors of functional limitation among those who survive to old age. This study uses data from a 16-year longitudinal study to examine long-range antecedents of the respondents' level of physical functional capability in 1991. The model predicting functional capability from longitudinal data is more complex and more effective for women t…

A Continuity Theory of Normal Aging
Continuity Theory holds that, in making adaptive choices, middle-aged and older adults attempt to preserve and maintain existing internal and external structures; and they prefer to accomplish this objective by using strategies tied to their past experiences of themselves and their social world. Change is linked to the person's perceived past, producing continuity in inner psychological characteristics as well as in social behavior and in social …

Work and Retirement
I found Work and Retirement both stimulating and pleasurable reading. It covers a wide variety of complex topics in a forthright fashion and draws on the majority of relevant research in the process. Topics include a history of retirement, achievements and problems that result from retirement, definitions and concepts, theories of adjustment to retirement, preparing for retirement, the capacity of older people for work, the experience of retireme…
Retirement
The process of retirement begins with attitudes toward retirement, retirement policies, and factors in the decision to retire. Currently, high levels of desire for retirement and poor health cause most retirements to occur at or near the minimum age for retirement. The retirement transition has varying effects, depending on how the individual arrives at retirement. Those who retire voluntarily have little or no difficulty adjusting. Those who are…
Retirement as a Social Institution
Retirement can have at least two basic meanings. For the individual, it means withdrawal from one's business or occupation either to enjoy more leisure Or freedom or to cope with health problems. For the employer, retirement means the removal or withdrawal from a position of employment of someone eligible for retirement. Retirement is usually accompanied by a pension-a periodic payment provided by an employer, union, or government in consideratio…

Fred Cottrell's Contributions to Political Sociology and Demography
Fred Cottrell's contributions to political sociology and demography consist largely in his herculean efforts to trace out the impact on society of the transition from low energy technology to a high energy technology. Energy and Society (1955) is basically a treatise on the evolution of a new species of society ? one that is fundamentally different from the species that preceded it in terms of family structure, social structure and organization, …

Retirement and Leisure Participation
The results of several studies of retirement suggest that identity continuity theory is more widely applicable than identity crisis theory in explaining the relationship between retirement and leisure participation. There remains, however, a strong need for studies that encompass the wide geographic social and psychological diversity of the older population in order to more firmly establish this finding. Practically speaking, it may be more profi…
The Impact of Structural Integration into the Profession on Work Commitment, Potential for Disengagement, and Leisure Preferences among Social Workers
The Scripps Foundation for Research in Population Problems has been interested in recent years in work and retirement patterns among various occupational categories. Several studies have already been reported (Atchley, 1969, 1971a, 1971b; Cottrell and Atchley, 1969). Comparisons between and within occupational and professional categories are valuable additions to the body of available knowledge in this area. At the same time, each study can stand…
