Engaging diverse populations in aging research during the Covid-19 pandemic: Lessons learned from four National Institutes of Health funded-Centers
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic's impact on our personal and professional lives required a rapid adaptation to the evolving health crisis and accumulating social stresses. Established measures to reduce the spread of infection and potential death had a direct effect on ongoing research that involved older adults and underrepresented racial/ethnic groups. Although important to preserve public health, these measures risk further isolation of vuln…
Cardiometabolic Risk, Socio-Psychological Factors, and Trajectory of Grip Strength Among Older Japanese Adults
In older adults, GS and its rate of decline are selectively associated with both cardiometabolic risk and socio-psychological characteristics. Cardiometabolic risk mediates educational disparities in GS but not differences in subjective assessments of health
Development of Adaptive Competence in Adulthood
This paper summarizes research on adult development guided by a theoretical perspective that assumes general types of developmental processes deriving from different sources of input and resulting in distinct developmental trajectories. The research examined effects of age and experience on job skill. A preliminary study identified the nature of expertise in food-service jobs, and a main study investigated performance differences related to age a…
Factors Influencing the Effect of Race on Established Periodontitis Prevalence
This analysis supports the disparity in periodontal health as part of the black:white health disparity when taking other factors into account. However, periodontal health disparities may be more complex than previously recognized, requiring greater understanding of factors related to dental care utilization in future studies evaluating this disparity
Evaluation and Use of an Index of Oral Health Status
Choosing an indicator of oral health status likely will depend upon the characteristics of the population to be studied. As a composite measure of oral health status, the OHSI performed acceptably; however, missing teeth, an index component, also worked well. Continued evaluation of the OHSI is warranted
Adult Age-Group Differences in Recall for the Literal and Interpretive Meanings of Narrative Text
This study examined age differences in recall for the literal and interpretive meanings of narrative text. Following presentation of one of two stories rich in both literal and interpretive content, younger (mean age = 19.2 years) and older (mean age = 72.2 years) adults were asked to retell and to interpret the story. Response task order was counterbalanced across participants. When asked to retell a story as close to the original as possible, t…

Effects of dispositional dominance and sex role expectations on leadership behaviors
Mother's Involvement with Infant and Her Perception of Spousal Support, Japan and America
This study investigates the differences between Japanese and American mothers' perceptions of support from their husbands, and the relationship between these perceptions and the mothers' involvement with their infants. Thirty American and 52 Japanese motherinfant dyads (in which the babies were 3 to 4 months old) were observed in the home through the use of a time-sampling technique and the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment Inve…
Maternal and Infant Behavior in Japan and America: A Partial Replication
Maternal and infant behaviors were compared for 30 American and 52 Japanese mother-infant dyads from middle-class homes in Japan and America. The major differences in caretaker behavior were (1) the Japanese mother spent more time being with or in the presence of her baby than the American mother, and (2) the American mother was more active in positioning the body of the infant. Infant behaviors between the two cultures were strikingly similar. S…
Household responsibilities in middle-class couples: The contribution of demographic and personality variables
The female register: An empirical study of Lakoff's hypotheses
Sociolinguists (e.g. Swacker 1975) and anthropologists (e.g. Hall 1959) are increasingly aware of the fact that sex, like social class or subcultural group, is a variable which strongly affects speech (Thorne & Henley 1975). While sexexclusive differentiation (i.e. separate male and female languages) now appears to be an almost nonexistent phenomenon, sex-preferred differentiation seems to be widespread across a number of languages and language f…
