Women During Midlife
Increased longevity has expanded the period known as midlife. During midlife, women tend to experience changes in health and family roles that can lead to increased stress and/or depression or alternatively to feelings of well‐being. The purpose of this paper was to review the research on women at midlife. The review of literature revealed several smaller studies and one large comprehensive study, the Melbourne Study, which was a 10‐year longitud…
Modeling the Scholarship of Teaching Through Four Family Policy Assignments
This article describes the scholarship of teaching and discusses how it can be used in a family policy class. An Internet scavenger hunt, the use of weekly news articles for discussing family policy, a field trip to the state capitol, and a research project are the assignments described. Each assignment is followed by a discussion on how content, process, and premise reflections, components of the scholarship of teaching, can be used to evaluate …
Retirement Housing and Locational Preferences of The Depression and Early Baby Boom Age Cohorts
The purpose of this study was to compare the housing and locational preferences and plans for the first 10 years of retirement of two cohorts within the maturing population: the early baby boomers (born 1946–1954) and the Depression cohort (born 1930–1939). The data were collected as part of a telephone survey of Oregon and Utah residents. Chi-square analyses were used to determine whether there are significant differences between the two cohorts…
Effects of Conditions and Satisfactions
The purpose of this study was to determine a causal relationship between constraints, conditions, satisfactions related to housing, and propensity to move at retirement using Morris and Winter’s Housing Adjustment Model. Data were analyzed for 1,175 preretirees in Oregon and Utah. Path analysis revealed that propensity to move was directly influenced (p<.05) by seven constraints -- age, level of education, gender, marital status, health status, l…
Aging in Place
Aging in place means being able to live independently in one’s current residence. This study examined the views of the future elderly to determine whether they plan to take a proactive stance in adapting their environment to meet their aging needs. Housing needs, preferences, policies, standards, and designs (barrier free, universal, accessible, and adaptable) are reviewed. An age stratified random sample of pre-retirees from three states (N=1033…
Housing Policy in the United States
Housing policy in the United States is reviewed in this paper. Limited to the 21st century, federal legislation has encouraged, funded, subsidized, provided access to, and restricted U.S. housing. During the past 50 years, a number of laws have been passed and policies implemented purely as experimental actions. Some policies were discontinued when they became too costly or failed to produce intended outcomes. In response, new policies enacted to…
Kitchen Design
Of all the rooms in the home, the kitchen has received the most attention in terms of design efficiency. Widely accepted standards for kitchen design have existed since the early 1960s; however, it has not been clear how carefully designers have adhered to them. This study examined kitchens presented as models in 1968 and 1988 consumer magazines. Content analysis was conducted to determine the kitchens’ conformity to fundamental kitchen design gu…
Housing and Community Retirement Preferences
This study examines housing and location preferences and how these correlate with anticipated sources of income of preretirement respondents. Of these respondents, 77 percent expressed a preference for a detached, single-family house during their first 10 years of retirement. The recreational vehicle was the least preferred. Those who preferred to retire in more populous areas expected retirement income from more sources than those who chose smal…
