Depressed Affect and Dimensions of Religiosity in Family Caregivers of Individuals with Dementia
Elders’ Preferences for Life-Prolonging Treatment and Their Proxies’ Substituted Judgment
Findings provide important insight into proxy decision making and have particular implications for proxy decision making on behalf of elders with dementia or other causes of decisional incapacity
The Reluctance to Burden Others as a Value in End-of-life Decision Making
Most patients are decisionally incapacitated at the end of life, leaving final treatment decisions to proxies, whose substituted judgment is often inaccurate. We investigated the reluctance to burden others (RBO), a commonly cited patient value, as a possible source of proxy inaccuracy. In a sample of 202 elders and their proxies, elders responded to three burden-related questions and the Life-prolonging Treatment Preferences Questionnaire. Proxi…
Preferences for Life-Prolonging Medical Treatments and Deference to the Will of God
Affective Forecasting and Advance Care Planning
That sicker people evaluate quality of life in future health status more positively, compared to healthier people, is viewed as an instance of affective forecasting error and explained by Prospect Theory, which holds that two prospects (poor health vs death) are more distinguishable when they are imminent than when distant. In a sample of 230 elderly people, we tested whether life in nine health scenarios would be more acceptable to less healthy …
Religiosity and Preferences for Life-Prolonging Medical Treatments in African-American and White Elders
Research on end-of-life treatment preferences has documented robust racial differences, with African-Americans preferring more life-prolonging treatment than Whites. Although little research has attempted to explain these racial differences systematically, speculation has centered on religiosity. We examined a dimension of religiosity frequently invoked in end-of-life research-guidance by God's will-as a potential mediator of racial differences i…
Symptoms, Affects, and Self-Rated Health
Patients may possess a subjective trajectory of health-an awareness of changes in symptoms and affect. This trajectory may constitute an important component of SRH and help to explain its ability to predict health outcomes
Imagining the Alternatives to Life Prolonging Treatments
Deciding for or against a life-prolonging treatment represents a choice between prolonged life and death. When the death alternative is not described, individuals must supply their own assumptions. How do people imagine the experience of dying? We asked 40 elderly people open-ended questions about dying without 4 common life-prolonging treatments, eliciting beliefs about pain, length of time, loneliness, and palliative care. Beliefs were diverse,…
Current health and preferences for life-prolonging treatments
Caregiver Appraisals of Functional Dependence in Individuals With Dementia and Associated Caregiver Upset
The CAFU is easily administered, reliable, and valid for evaluating appraisals of dependencies and upsetting care areas
Social Marketing as a Framework for Recruitment
Strategies to enhance recruitment are often undertaken without a comprehensive plan. A social marketing plan provides a framework to map out the steps in recruitment that will be needed and to plan for allocations of time, staff, and resources
Valuation of Life
VOL is a cognitive-affective schema whose function as a mediator and moderator between health and end-of-life decisions deserves further research
Affect and Quality of Life
The importance of assessing both amount of behavior (objective) and its quality (subjective) when measuring QOL was demonstrated. Although external engagement bears a closer relationship to PA than to negative, the dual-channel model relating locus of stimulation differentially to PA and depression requires modification
Can personality traits be inferred automatically? Spontaneous inferences require cognitive capacity at encoding
Personality differences in spontaneous personality inferences at encoding
In this article, a method is described for studying personality differences in the spontaneous encoding of complex information about others, and is illustrated in a study of authoritarianism (F). Two sets of sentences were developed in pretesting. In the first set, events suggested a consensual disposition for each sentence actor to either high F (HF) or low F (LF) subjects. In the second set, events suggested a different consensual disposition t…
How automatic are social judgments
Do people infer personality dispositions automatically when they encode behavior? Tulving's encoding-specificity paradigm was adapted to test three operational indicants of automatism: absence of intention, of interference from other mental activity, and of awareness. Recruited for a digit-recall study, subjects read sentences describing actions during the retention interval of either an easy or a difficult digit recall task. Later, sentence reca…
When are social judgments made? Evidence for the spontaneousness of trait inferences
Do people make trait inferences, even without intentions or instructions, at the encoding stage of processing behavioral information? Tulving's encoding specificity paradigm (Tulving & Thomson, 1973) was adapted for two recall experiments. Under memory instructions only, subjects read sentences describing people performing actions that implied traits. Later, subjects recalled each sentence under one of three cuing conditions: (a) a dispositional …
