  • Women coming to terms with aging

    Nathan J Newton, Nicky J Newton et al.ARTICLEJournal of Women & Aging2022

    Studies concerning the process of aging for women tend to focus on age-related physical changes and their correlates, often overlooking the psychosocial aspects of aging. The current study aims to understand women's experiences of aging, while also validating recently developed separate Q-sort scales of ego integrity and despair.

  • Level of choice in older women’s decisions to retire or continue working and associated well-being

    Nathan J Newton, Nicky J Newton et al.ARTICLEJournal of Women & Aging2019

    Retirement is a complex life transition.

This study examines the role of voluntary versus involuntary retirement or continued work participation among retirement-age women; specifically, the relationships between choice, work status, and…

  • Chronic Stress and Negative Marital Quality Among Older Couples

    Open AccessKira S Birditt, Nathan J Newton et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2016References: 8

    Consistent with the Dyadic Biopsychosocial Model of Marriage and Health, partner stress has direct associations with waist circumference among couples and this link is moderated by negative marital quality.

  • Passing on

    Nathan J Newton, Nicky J Newton et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2016Cited by: 4References: 5

    Expressions of the intent to leave behind something when we die can contain elements of both selflessness and selfishness. In this paper, we identify 3 different types of expressed legacy (personal, broader, and composite), and distinguish between them by examining their correlates (generativity, narcissism, and community involvement), as well as differences in expressed legacies for midlife African Americans and European Americans. Quantitative …
