Qualitative Research on the Match/Mismatch in Perceptions of Successful Aging and Lived Experiences Among Older Burundian Refugees in the USA
Predictors of Quality of Life Among Refugees Aging Out-of-place
Vaccination Motivators and Deterrents Among Undervaccinated Older Adults in North Dakota
Lacking family ties during Covid‐19
Family support was an important coping mechanism for older adults during the COVID‐19 pandemic. However, not all older adults had access to traditional family ties amid the pandemic. Thus, this study sought to investigate if and how fictive kin ties were developed as a result of pandemic‐related isolation. Older adults ( n = 8) who were identified as lacking access to traditional family ties were interviewed five times across 2 years of the pande…
Longitudinal Associations of Conscientiousness and Neuroticism With Perceived Mastery and Constraints for Aging Adults
It has not been well understood how conscientiousness and neuroticism are associated with two related but distinct dimensions of perceived control (i.e., perceived mastery and constraints) among aging adults. The present study examined these associations and their change over time, while addressing whether they differ by age or gender. For respondents aged 50+ at baseline (N = 2,768) in the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study, multilevel m…
Longitudinal Implications of Social Integration for Age and Gender Differences in Late-Life Physical Functioning
Social integration has documented benefits for late-life health; yet, little is known about its impacts on trajectories of physical functioning. This study examines age and gender differences in the longitudinal associations between social integration and activities of daily living (ADLs) using a hierarchical linear model with three waves of survey data collected over 4 years from the Social Integration and Aging Study ( N = 400; baseline mean ag…
Implications of relationships with family, friends, and neighbors for changes in women’s well-being in late life
This study examined whether relationships with family, friends, and neighbors (both satisfaction and number in the social network) were associated with older women’s well-being concurrently and over two years. Additionally, age differences among older women were explored. Women aged 60+ (N = 224, Mage = 80) were sampled from the Social Integration and Aging Study. Greater family and friend satisfaction were positively associated with well-being; …
Older Adults’ Loneliness in Early Covid-19 Social Distancing
These findings suggest nuanced experiences among older adults, but generally negative implications for loneliness. Interventions to address older adults' social isolation and loneliness during COVID-19 are warranted
The Convoy Model and Later‐Life Family Relationships
The convoy model of social relations was developed to provide a heuristic framework for conceptualizing and understanding social relationships. In this Original Voices article, we begin with an overview of the theoretical tenets of the convoy model, including its value in addressing situational and contextual influences, especially variability in family forms and cultural diversity across the life span, but particularly in older adulthood. We als…
The emotional toll of out‐migration on mothers and fathers left behind in Mexico
A growing body of research examines how families are affected by international migration; yet, implications for family members who remain behind are less well understood. Recent studies highlight implications for wives and young children when Mexican men migrate to the US , but have not yet adequately addressed the unique perspectives across the intergenerational family system, including the impact on parents when their adult children migrate. Th…
