Belgian and U.S. Older Adults’ Lay Perspectives on ‘Tiredness of Life’
A Latent Profile Analysis of Dementia-Related Anxiety
Mirabella at Arizona State University
University-based retirement communities (UBRCs) are a relatively recent addition to housing options for older adults. The case example of a new UBRC, Mirabella at Arizona State University (ASU), is presented within the context of Age-Friendly University (AFU) principles and New American University design aspirations. We provide an overview of the planning process, describe initial collaborations between Mirabella and research faculty, and outline…
Profiles in Dementia-Related Anxiety
The resulting profiles point to several factors associated with elevated anxiety about ADRD, which do not fully match the risk factors for ADRD
Physical Activity Among Predominantly White Middle-Aged and Older US Adults During the Sars-CoV-2 Pandemic
Background: The first COVID-19 case in the US was diagnosed late January 2020. In the subsequent months, cases grew exponentially. By March 2020, SARS-CoV-2 (the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19) was a global pandemic and the US declared a national emergency. To mitigate transmission, federal guidelines were established for social and physical distancing. These events disrupted daily routines of individuals around the world, including Ameri…
Factors associated with diagnosis of stages I and II lung cancer
OBJECTIVE To present the overall survival rate for lung cancer and identify the factors associated with early diagnosis of stage I and II lung cancer. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study including individuals diagnosed with lung cancer, from January 2009 to December 2017, according to the cancer registry at UMass Memorial Medical Center. Five-year overall survival and its associated factors were identified by Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox’…
Correlates of dementia-related anxiety
As public awareness of and exposure to Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) have increased worldwide, the fear of developing ADRD, or dementia-related anxiety (DRA), is expected to increase as well. It was hypothesized that at least part of what makes dementia so anxiety-provoking is the association of ADRD with older adults, an often stigmatized group. To test this hypothesis, two online studies examined how ageist beliefs contribute…
Mortality Salience and Age Effects on Charitable Donations
Research suggests that people are typically more generous in later life. Terror management theory offers one explanation for this pattern. The theory suggests that humans' innate desire to survive results in strong reactions to increased awareness of mortality, thereby affecting behaviors. Older adults' increasing proximity to life's end has been associated with greater generative concern, as a means of caring for future generations and ensuring …
Examining the Relationship Between Religious and Spiritual Motivation and Worry About Alzheimer’s Disease in Later Life
The Last Word
Findings provide neurophysiological support for the shift in older adults' responses to death-related stimuli found in other TMT research as well as studies reporting reduced explicit death anxiety in older adults. Results also highlight the importance of considering stimuli content in studies of attention and emotion
A terror management perspective on the role of death-related anxiety in psychological dysfunction
Building on previous existential theorizing, terror management theory provides a unique approach to conceptualizing the development, maintenance, and impact of psychological disorders. The theory suggests that awareness of mortality creates the potential for anxiety, which is managed by an anxiety-buffering system consisting of one's cultural worldview, self-esteem, and interpersonal attachments. The pursuit of meaning, personal value, and interp…
The Anxiety-Buffering Properties of Cultural and Subcultural Worldviews
The Anxiety-Buffering Properties of Cultural and Subcultural Worldviews: Terror Management Processes among Juvenile Delinquents Terror management research indicates that people reminded of mortality strongly affirm values and standards consistent with their cultural worldview and distance themselves from values and standards inconsistent with it. However, limited research has addressed how individuals holding beliefs inconsistent with the dominan…
Posttraumatic stress reactions as a disruption in anxiety-buffer functioning
Subtle priming of shared human experiences eliminates threat-induced negativity toward Arabs, immigrants, and peace-making
