Spouses' responses to the dietary nonadherence of their partners managing diabetes
The association between patients' dietary nonadherence and spouses' involvement in patients' diabetes diet was examined, with spouses' anxiety about nonadherence considered as a mediator of this association. Daily diary data from 128 older adult patients with type 2 diabetes and their spouses were analyzed using multilevel models. Results revealed that on days when patients reported less adherence to their diabetes diet than usual, spouses report…
Stress and Coping in Later-Life Families
Part 1 Stress in later-life families: stress, support and well-being in later life - focusing on salient social roles.

Emotional reactivity to daily stress, spousal emotional support, and fasting blood glucose among patients with type 2 diabetes
Stress is associated with higher blood glucose in patients with diabetes, but the strength of this association varies considerably across patients. The current daily diary study of 129 patients with type 2 diabetes examined whether individual differences in emotional stress reactivity were associated with fasting blood glucose and whether emotional support provided by spouses moderated this association. Greater stress reactivity was related to gr…
Motivational and Cognitive Pathways to Medical Help-Seeking for Alzheimer's Disease
Findings are interpreted as evidence of the importance of motivational as well as cognitive aspects of perceptions of illness behavior in another person. The substantial impact of the tested variables on the desired outcome of medical help-seeking may suggest options for public health efforts to enhance early medical help-seeking for AD that sets the stage for early intervention
Daily symptoms, distress and interaction quality among couples coping with type 2 diabetes
In this electronic diary study ( N = 127 couples), we examined how a diabetic partner's symptoms and distress are associated with relationship interactions over 24 days. Using dyadic multilevel models, we examined the effects of patients' daily diabetes symptom severity and diabetes-specific distress on each partner's evaluations of their daily interaction enjoyment and tension. For both patients and spouses, diabetes symptoms were associated wit…
Are spouses of chronically ill partners burdened by exerting health-related social control
Spouses often seek to influence the health behaviors of chronically ill partners, but little research has examined whether spouses find such involvement to be burdensome. The current study examined this question in a sample of 191 nondiabetic spouses whose partners had type 2 diabetes. Results revealed that spouses who attempted to exert more control over their partners' dietary behavior experienced greater burden, particularly when their partner…
When does spousal social control provoke negative reactions in the context of chronic illness? The pivotal role of patients' expectations
Spouses often monitor and seek to alter each other's health behavior, but such social control attempts can provoke behavioral resistance and emotional distress. Expectations regarding spouses' roles in their partners' health may influence reactions to spousal social control, with resistance and hostility less likely to occur among people who believe spouses should be involved in their partners' health. Evidence consistent with this idea emerged i…
The Caregiver Stress Process and Health Outcomes
These findings demonstrate caregivers' vulnerability to the effects of stressors across three dimensions of health and also underscore the importance of subjective appraisals of stress
Stress, Rewards, and Change in the Centrality of Women?s Family and Work Roles
Juggling Parent Care and Employment Responsibilities
Change in the Centrality of Women's Multiple Roles
These findings suggest that the centrality of a social role can change over time in response to stressful and rewarding role experiences
Balancing Parent Care With Other Roles
This study examined interrole conflict experienced by 278 women who simultaneously occupied 4 roles: parent care provider, mother to children at home, wife, and employee. Compared with women who experienced no conflict between parent care and their other roles, women reporting parent care conflict tended to have fewer socio-economic resources, to have older children, and to be caring for parents with greater impairment. Women who reported conflic…
Multiple Roles of Women Caregivers
We examined relationships between feelings of mastery and self-esteem in a given role (role adequacy) and caregivers' social and psychological well-being over time. Seventy-five women who occupied the roles of caregiver, mother and wife were assessed twice over a two-month interval. Caregiver role adequacy predicted greater family cohesion and marital satisfaction, wife role adequacy predicted greater family cohesion, and mother role adequacy pre…
The Interplay of Work and Caregiving
This study applied theory from the general work and family literature to the dual roles of work and caregiving, in order to examine whether level of satisfaction and time involvement in each of these roles moderate the effects of stress in the other role on well-being. Respondents were 118 employed women who were providing care to an impaired parent or parent-in-law. As predicted, greater time involvement in work was found to buffer women from th…
Stroke patients' well‐being as a function of caregiving spouses' helpful and unhelpful actions
This study examined the perceptions that 55 older married stroke patients had about themselves and about the motivations of their caregiving spouses when they judged their spouses' actions to be helpful and when they judged them to be unhelpful. It also examined how these perceptions were related to patients' well‐being (depression, positive affect, marital satisfaction). Patients had more negative perceptions of themselves and of their spouses w…
Spillover between Daughters' Roles as Caregiver and Wife
This research examined how the roles of caregiver and wife affect one another, both positively and negatively, and how such "spillover" effects are related to caregivers' well-being. Spillover was assessed both from the perspective of 125 adult daughter caregivers and their husbands. Husbands reported less negative spillover and more positive spillover from the caregiver role to the wife role than did caregivers. Caregivers reported less positive…
Outcome in psychoeducational day school programs
Psychoeducational day schools provide clinical and special education services to children with severe behavior disorders. Outcome studies indicate that treated children tend to improve in behavioral, academic, and family functioning but warrant continued intervention. Family therapy, development of academic skills, and coordination of aftercare services appear critical to long-term program success
Time budget methods for behavioral community psychology
Obtaining reliable and cost-efficient data on everyday behavior occurring in community settings presents a formidable problem for behavioral community psychologists. This article (a) describes a set of methods, called time budgets, for recording sequences of everyday behaviors and their social and physical contexts; (b) discusses the quality of data yielded by these methods; and (c) illustrates their utility for behavioral community psychology. T…
