Work as overload or enhancement for family caregivers of older adults: Assessment of experienced well‐being over the day
Objective: This study examines work and care patterns and their association with experienced well-being over the course of the day and tests a moderating effect of gender. Background: Many family and unpaid caregivers to older adults face dual responsibilities of work and caregiving. Yet little is known about how working caregivers sequence responsibilities through the day and their implications for well-being. Method: Sequence and cluster analys…
The Strength of Parent–Adult Child Ties in Biological Families and Stepfamilies: Evidence From Time Diaries From Older Adults
We examine older partnered parents' time spent with adult children in biological and step families, treating time together as an indication of relationship strength. Using a unique national sample of U.S. time diaries from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we investigate time with all adult children combined and with each adult child. We find that time together depends on family structure and parent–adult child dyadic relationship type embedded…
Incident Care Trajectories for Older Adults With and Without Dementia
Information on how family caregiving is likely to evolve over time in terms of care hours may help older adults with and without dementia, the family members, friends, and paid individuals who care for them, as well as their health care providers assess and plan for future care needs
Change in Mobility: Consistency of Estimates and Predictors Across Studies of Older Adults
To compare estimates of mobility change across surveys, mobility measures would need to be harmonized. Determinants of mobility change, however, are more comparable
Do Family Relationships Buffer the Impact of Disability on Older Adults' Daily Mood? An Exploration of Gender and Marital Status Differences
ObjectiveWe evaluate whether non-spousal family support and strain moderate the effect of disability on older adults' daily frustration and happiness, and whether these patterns differ by gender and marital status.BackgroundStress buffering perspectives predict that harmful effects of stress on well-being are buffered by family support, whereas stress proliferation models suggest effects are intensified by family strain. The extent to which famil…
The short-term stability of life satisfaction judgments
Life satisfaction judgments are thought to reflect people's overall evaluation of the quality of their lives as a whole. Because the circumstances of these lives typically do not change very quickly, life satisfaction judgments should be relatively stable over time. However, some evidence suggests that these judgments can be easily manipulated, which leads to low stability even over very short intervals. The current study uses a unique data set t…
Disability and Activity-related Emotion in Later Life: Are Effects Buffered by Intimate Relationship Support and Strain
We use daily diary data from the Disability and Use of Time supplement to the 2013 Panel Study of Income Dynamics ( n = 1,162) to evaluate (1) the extent to which marital/partner support and strain moderate the effects of disability on five activity-related emotions (happiness, calm, sadness, frustration, worry) and overall negative and positive emotion among older married, cohabiting, and dating persons and (2) whether such patterns differ signi…
Marital Quality and Negative Experienced Well-Being: An Assessment of Actor and Partner Effects Among Older Married Persons
One's own and spouse's marital appraisals play a complex role in shaping negative emotions among older adults. Findings suggest that frustration is a particularly complex emotion and a promising area for further study among older married couples
Psychological and cognitive determinants of mortality: Evidence from a nationally representative sample followed over thirty-five years
Socioeconomic Status and Biological Markers of Health: An Examination of Adults in the United States and Taiwan
Overall, SES differentials in biological risk do not appear to be more widely observed or larger in the United States than in Taiwan
Is Spousal Caregiving Associated With Enhanced Well-Being? New Evidence From the Panel Study of Income Dynamics
For women, chores such as meal preparation, laundry, and cleaning--but not caregiving per se--are associated with worse experienced well-being than other activities. Findings underscore that there are positive aspects of spousal caregiving for older wives that offset the innately unpleasant nature of household tasks
Happy Marriage, Happy Life? Marital Quality and Subjective Well-being in Later Life
The authors examined associations between marital quality and both general life satisfaction and experienced (momentary) well-being among older husbands and wives, the relative importance of own versus spouse's marital appraisals for well-being, and the extent to which the association between own marital appraisals and well-being is moderated by spouse's appraisals. Data are from the 2009 Disability and Use of Time daily diary supplement to the P…
Trends in Late-Life Activity Limitations in the United States: An Update From Five National Surveys
This article updates trends from five national U.S. surveys to determine whether the prevalence of activity limitations among the older population continued to decline in the first decade of the twenty-first century. Findings across studies suggest that personal care and domestic activity limitations may have continued to decline for those ages 85 and older from 2000 to 2008, but generally were flat since 2000 for those ages 65–84. Modest increas…
Do adults adjust their socio-economic status identity in later life
Previous research shows that socio-economic status (SES) identity, also referred to as perceived or subjective social status, is shaped by objective measures of status, socio-cultural influences and psychological attributes and predicts current and future wellbeing. Prior studies, however, have not examined whether older adults reassess their SES identity over time. In this study, we use two assessments of subjective social status measured six ye…

Demographic and Socioeconomic Status Differences in Perceptions of Difficulty With Mobility in Late Life
For most mobility activities, there are no systematic differences in the perception of difficulty by individual characteristics. Thus, for older Taiwanese adults, differences in mobility limitations associated with socioeconomic status are more likely to reflect underlying differences in function than differences in how these groups report the same capacity. The usual loss of mobility with age, however, reflects both a decrease in capacity and a …
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Mobility Device Use in Late Life
Because minorities appear to be using mobility devices in proportion to underlying need, increasing device use by minorities may not reduce disparities in mobility disability. Efforts to address racial/ethnic disparities in mobility disability in late life, therefore, may need to focus on differences in underlying functional decline rather than the accommodation of it

Chronic conditions and the decline in late-life disability
Using data from the 1997–2004 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), we examine the role of chronic conditions in recent declines in late-life disability prevalence. Building upon prior studies, we decompose disability declines into changes in the prevalence of chronic conditions and in the risk of disability given a condition. In doing so, we extend Kitigawa’s (1955) classical decomposition technique to take advantage of the annual data points…
Reconsidering Substitution in Long-Term Care: When Does Assistive Technology Take the Place of Personal Care
These models raise the possibility that reductions of informal care hours may be accomplished with a combination of formal care and assistive devices, rather than from either alternative alone
Stability and Change in the Perceived Social Support of Older Taiwanese Adults
Despite the increasing pressures and demands on adult children's time that are associated with social and economic development, the elderly in Taiwan on average feel supported by their social networks, with the perceived availability of support increasing with age
Social Ties and Perceived Support: Two Dimensions of Social Relationships and Health among the Elderly in Taiwan
If baseline health is ignored, estimates of the effects of social relationships on health at a given stage of life are likely to be inflated by reverse causality or by effects occurring prior to baseline. Inclusion of controls for initial health reveals that, in general, the relationship between social support and health at the older ages in Taiwan is relatively modest
