An interview with author Victor Regnier, Faia
In his newest book, preeminent gerontologist and architect Victor Regnier shares innovative international housing and care service models that serve mentally and physically frail elders. He presents a trio of options drawn from the U.S. and northern Europe – Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and the Netherlands. These options include the Dutch Apartment/Condo for Life Model (AFL); decentralized Small/Green House nursing homes; and the provision o…
Ecologically-Valid Inquiry
The purpose of this brief note is to offer a critical commentary of recent attempts by adult-cognitive developmentalists to conduct more meaningful, ecologically-valid research. Emerging illustrative efforts to develop cohort- and contextually-relevant instruments for assessing competence, intelligence, personality, problem-solving, and categorization skills are noted. Specifically, these efforts are criticized for assuming that ecological validi…
A contextual approach to serving older residents of economically-threatened small towns
The Men's Adult Life Experiences Inventory
This article describes the development and testing of a new 97-item self-report instrument assessing the frequency and intensity of 11 developmentally related domains of concerns of middle-aged men. These include relationships (child, parents, wife, friends), job, health, sex, leisure, death, pressures of time, and self-reflection. The psychometric properties of the instrument, as well as potential uses, are discussed

Daily Hassles and Profiles of Well-Being among Older Residents of Small Rural Towns
As part of a larger study of adaptation to environmental stress, 101 older (65 yr. +) small-town residents displaying four distinct profiles of subjective well-being (frail, disengaged, partially-, and fully-engaged) were administered a 67-item version of the Daily Hassles Scale in interview format. A 1-way multivariate analysis was conducted on frequency of hassles and intensity scores across eight hassle-content categories (Health, Friends and …

Well-being profiles of small-town elderly in differing rural contexts
Belief in Supernatural Phenomena and Locus of Control
It is hypothesized that Rotter's I-E variable mediates individual differences in supernatural and superstitious beliefs, with externals exhibiting more positive attitudes toward such phenomena. An approximately equal number of male and female introductory psychology students were selected as externals ( N = 20) and internals ( N = 23) from upper and lower quartiles of the Rotter I-E scale. All Ss were administered an attitude questionnaire assess…
