Social support and dietary change among older adults
After a review of current conceptual models used in nutrition studies, we develop and test a ‘Dietary Change Model’ based on a sample of older rural adults. Predictor variables include socio-demographic, social network, and nutritional risk/support constructs; mediating variables include number of dietary changes attempted and whether the changes are successfully made; and criterion variables focus on psychosocial outcomes. The model is tested on…
Pets, Networks and Well-Being
This study explores two explanations for well-being among older adults: social network analysis and human–animal relations. The data are based on a stratified probability sample of community living adults, aged 60 years and over, located in several rural communities in north-eastern Oregon. The dependent variables include three distinct measures of psychological well-being: life satisfaction, locus of control, and self-esteem. The independent var…

National Commitment Among Local Élites in Western Zambia
As part of a broader study concerned with tribal–national relations in modern Zambia, the research reported here deals with a complex, indigenous state, the Barotse Kingdom, in which adjustments to post-colonial arrangements have been fraught with difficulties. Here I deal with the results obtained by analysis of interview schedules collected during 1966–7 among a sample of local élites in one of the Districts of the then Barotse Province (now ca…
How Do I Respect Thee? Let Me Count The Ways
In our previous work we have suggested that the status of the aged is influenced by the kinds of information they provide to other community members. In this paper we examine the different means by which the appreciation of others is expressed in a sample of 34 societies. The categories of deference described are spatial (e.g., special seats for old people), victual (e.g., given choice foods), linguistic (e.g., addressed in honorifics), presen ta…
