Attachment versus Disengagement: A Life-Span Conceptualization
The potential usefulness of the concept of attachment in providing a conceptual schema for understanding relationships and involvements of older persons is described. It is suggested that the concept of disengagement be eliminated and that gerontologists as well as life-span developmental psychologists, focus instead on attachments of the elderly in order to gain a new understanding for the continuities and discontinuities in attachments across t…

Death-Related Experiences and Funerary Practices of the Hmong Refugee in the United States
This article reviews the death-related experiences and concerns of Hmong refugees from Laos. Traditional funerary and burial practices of the Hmong and the barriers to maintaining these practices in the United States are discussed. To understand the losses suffered by the Hmong, parallels are drawn between their experiences and those of holocaust victims. Because of their immense losses, many older Hmong are experiencing severe mental health prob…
Cemetery visits
Students in three undergraduate classes in a course on death and grief were asked three questions concerning the frequency of visits to cemeteries. Of the 78 codable responses, 26 percent had not visited a cemetery for any reason during the previous five years; 45 percent had not visited a cemetery for burial during that period; and 62 percent had not visited a cemetery for purposes of attending a grave. Neither age, nor gender, nor death fear (a…
Professional Women and Marriage
This study was designed to explore the phenomenon of late marriage in a sample of highly educated professional women. Using Elder's (1972) concept that the timing of marriage is a consequence of interaction between the relative rewards and costs associated with marriage and other roles, the marital prospects and the availability of alternative roles, ten hypotheses were formulated to study the process of late marriage. It was found that, compared…
Death and Survivorship: The Final Transition
In spite of some recent increases in services for bereaved persons, the availability of such services is minimal. The process of grieving itself takes place in time in several ways: the extent to which the death is sudden, expected, and timely; the passage of time from the beginning of anticipatory grieving before the actual death through the diminishing effects of the loss over an extended period of time; and the age and stage in life of the gri…

Death Educator as Deacon
By viewing the physician as priest, i.e. the individual who provides access to the values of health and long life, the death educator can be seen as deacon, the person who serves the priest as a helper. Physicians and death counselors are primarily healers; clergy and death educators are primarily preachers. The power relationship between physician and death counselor is well-established, with the former maintaining the most significant power; th…
Community Attitudes toward Funeral Directors
Attitudes and experiences of church members concerning the practices of funeral directors were surveyed through a two-phase sampling procedure. A sample of clergy was approached by mail and asked to distribute questionnaires to persons in their congregations who had recently experienced making funeral arrangements. A total of 155 individuals returned completed questionnaires describing reactions based on one specific funeral arrangement. The atti…

Death and Bereavement: The Role of the Black Church
The role of the Black Church in death and bereavement is explored by a Black African clergyman-pastoral psychologist and an American social psychologist. As expressed in Black spirituals, major death themes include death as a symbol for liberation, as an integral part of life, as the basis for fear, as cessation of this life but not extinction of all life, and as social extinction. Case history material is also cited. Description and analysis of …

Widows View Death: A Brief Research Note
This study is concerned with comparing death attitudes among widows and non-widows. Since the status of widowhood indicates the loss through death of a significant other, it was hypothesized that widows would respond differently than non-widows on a number of death-related interview questions. Attempts were made to match the age, ethnicity, and educational status between the participants. The interview included such topics as expectations and pre…

On dying and denying: A psychiatric study of terminality
The World of the Elderly Asian American
Older Asian Americans share a great deal with their fellow Asian Americans and with their fellow elderly, but the juxtaposition of all elements produces a personal history and present milieu that is shared neither with younger persons of similar national origins nor with age cohorts of various national origins. Understanding these individuals requires knowledge of their cultural origins and effects of early socialization, their life history in th…

Phenomenological Reality and Post-Death Contact
Individual realities of persons claiming to have had encounters with others known to be dead often mark the experiencing individual as pathological. Nonetheless, a survey of the available literature shows that the experience is common both in preliterate communities and among the recently bereaved; some authors have indicated that it is more common among contemporary Americans than is normally presumed. The present study queried 434 respondents i…

Value Similarities and Differences in Three Generations of Women
A three-generational sample of 53 young women, their mothers, and their maternal grandmothers responded to a Likert-type questionnaire consisting of six scales: political-social values, religiosity, attitudes toward students, attitudes toward one's own aging, attitudes toward old people, and attitudes toward death. Results indicated that mother-daughter correlations were higher than mother-grandmother or daughtergrandmother correlations on some s…
