Lasting Effects of Redlining
A Taxonomy of Data Synthesis
As efforts to improve the credibility of psychological and other social sciences continue, researchers aim to conduct multi-study or multi-sample research and synthesize findings using different parameterizations of individual participant meta-analysis. No overarching organizational framework exists, and only a few simulation-based or empirical examples comparing these parameterizations. This article has two goals. First, we provide an overview o…
Religious Involvement and Cognitive Function Among White, Black, and Hispanic Older Adults
We examined whether religious involvement was associated with cognitive function among older adults in the 2006–2020 waves of the Health and Retirement Study. Using growth curve analysis, we found the association between religious involvement and cognition varied by facet of religious involvement and race and Hispanic ethnicity. Attending religious services with friends was associated with higher initial levels of cognitive function (b = 0.22, p
The Place Where Danger Waits”
Exploring the Influence of Loneliness on Cognitive Decline
Objectives Loneliness is prevalent among older adults, who may experience age-related or pathological cognitive changes. However, there’s a limited understanding of how loneliness affects cognitive decline and if the relationship differs by race. This study investigates the impact of loneliness on cognitive decline among Black and White older adults. Methods 3,082 participants with 20,882 follow-ups over 10 years were included from the RUSH RADC …
Sustained Purpose in Life is Associated With Slower Cognitive Decline in Older Adults
Objectives Purpose in life is positively associated with cognitive function and better maintenance of cognitive function over time in aging adults. However, purpose in life itself declines over time, and we examined whether such changes are related to changes in cognition and whether this varied by race and ethnicity. Method The current study used 3 waves of data from the nationally representative survey, Health and Retirement Study (HRS; N = 9,8…
Organizational and non-organizational religious participation and trajectories of cognitive function among older African Americans
These findings illustrate substantial heterogeneity in cognitive aging among older African Americans. Non-organizational religious participation primarily served as a preventive factor among younger participants but functioned more prominently as a coping resource among the oldest participants. These age-related distinctions emphasize the diverse ways in which religiosity could foster cognitive resilience or aid in navigating cognitive decline am…
Investigating the trivariate reciprocal longitudinal relationships between purpose, loneliness, and cognitive function
Objectives As medical interventions for cognitive decline and dementia continue to evolve, the identification of modifiable psychosocial factors has become increasingly important. Sense of purpose and loneliness represent potential targets for intervention. In this study, we aimed to understand the potentially reciprocal relationship between sense of purpose, loneliness, and cognitive function. Methods The current project draws upon data from the…

Early-Life Parental Affection, Social Relationships in Adulthood, and Later-Life Cognitive Function
Objective Although research has demonstrated the long-term health consequences of childhood adversities, less is known about the long-term impact of positive childhood experiences, such as parental affection. Method Using longitudinal data (1995–2014) from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study, we analyze structural equation models estimating direct and indirect pathways from early-life parental affection to changes in later-life cogniti…
The Effects of Midlife Acute and Chronic Stressors on Black–White Differences in Cognitive Decline
Middle-aged Black adults have lower initial cognition levels and experience earlier but less accelerated cognitive decline compared to White middle-aged adults. Midlife acute and chronic stressors influence baseline cognition but do so in different ways. Future research should examine the influence of other stressors on racial differences in cognitive decline at other points in the life course
Financial Risk Aversion Among Older Black and White Adults
Older Black adults are more financially risk averse than older White adults. Because risk aversion may be associated with important financial and health outcomes in older age, more research is needed to investigate the reasons for this difference
Relationship of Blood Pressure and White Matter Hyperintensity Burden With Level of and Change in Cognition in Older Black Adults
OBJECTIVE: Elevations in blood pressure (BP) and associated white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are chronic comorbid conditions among older Black adults. We investigated whether WMHs modify the association between late-life BP and cognition within older Black adults. METHODS: A total of 167 Black adults (age, ~75 years; without dementia at baseline) participating in neuroimaging studies at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center were evaluated for B…
The Relationship of John Henryism With Cognitive Function and Decline in Older Black Adults
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between John Henryism, a psychological trait typified by high-effort active coping that has been associated with adverse health outcomes among Blacks, and cognitive decline. METHODS: In a cohort of community-dwelling older Black adults ( N = 611), we investigated the relationship between John Henryism and cognitive decline. John Henryism was measured using the John Henryism Active Coping…

Objectives: This study examined the joint trajectories of behavioral risk factors (smoking, alcohol drinking, and body mass index) and their associations with cognitive function trajectories among older African Americans and white Americans. Methods: Data from the Health and Retirement Study (1998-2014) were used. Group-based mixture modeling and multinomial logistic regression analysis were performed. Results: Three joint trajectories of behavio…
Perceived Impediments to Completed Brain Autopsies Among Diverse Older Adults Who Have Signed a Uniform Anatomical Gift Act for Brain Donation for Clinical Research
Diverse older adults expressed different perceived impediments to having brain autopsies completed upon their death. Continuous education for diverse older adults and their family members regarding brain donation for clinical research, including clear guidelines and processes, may facilitate completed brain autopsies among diverse older adults
Walk a mile in my shoes
African American Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) family caregivers are understudied in intervention research with discrepant evidence existing on their mental and physical health outcomes. The stress toll of ADRD caregiving, coupled with the well-documented health disparities for African Americans, place these caregivers at higher risk for morbidity and mortality. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore African Americ…

The discussion notes the importance of examining racial as well as within group ethnic differences within the Black American population in the types of discrimination. It also notes the importance of examining indicators of both major and everyday discrimination
Explaining the Relationship Among Fundamentalism and Authoritarianism
Although numerous studies have documented a strong, positive association between Right-wing Authoritarianism (RWA) and Religious Fundamentalism (RF), little empirical work has actually investigated the reasons for this relationship. In the present study we propose that a fundamentalist meaning system predicts a system of beliefs about knowledge and knowing (e.g., personal epistemology), which is then partially responsible for sustaining authorita…
