Correlates of Subjective Cognitive Impairment Among Community Dwelling Older Non-Hispanic Black and Non-Hispanic White Men
BackgroundSubjective cognitive impairment (SCI) predicts Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Identifying SCI correlates may identify cognitive risk earlier in the ADRD continuum. We examined SCI correlates among older non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and non-Hispanic White (NHW) men.MethodCross-sectional data were from 669 men in the 2012 National Health and Aging Trends Study. Logistic regression was used to identify SCI correlates, accoun…
“The Body May Not Be the Same, But the Heart Still Needs Love”
Objectives Sexual desire in older age is predicated on contextual factors such as underlying health conditions, personal lifestyle choices, and cultural and religious beliefs. Yet, many believe that older adults, especially older women, are without sexual desires because of their age and gender. This descriptive qualitative study explored perceptions of sexual stereotypes among older adults in rural Nigeria. To understand what older adults think …
Reverence and Reciprocity in Prioritization of Care to a Parent
Relationship research in the dominant psychological science portrays the prioritization of conjugal over consanguine relationships as a healthy standard. We argue that this “standard” pattern is only evident in cultural ecologies of independence. Drawing on the Confucian concept of filial piety, we conducted five studies and two mini meta-analyses to normalize the prioritization of mother over spouse. Cultural ecologies were operationalized by a …
Charting New Frontiers for Black Men's Brain Health
This essay critically explores the intersection of brain health and dementia research within the context of Black men's lived experiences. It interrogates dominant narratives of brain health that prioritize individual responsibility while neglecting systemic and structural determinants of health. Drawing on a life‐course perspective, the essay advocates for inclusive research practices that center Black men's voices, challenge deficit‐based assum…
Applying the PEN-3 cultural model to explore and improve cancer survivorship in Black and Latinx people in the US
The findings of this study will add to a body of knowledge on using a cultural lens to deepen our understanding cancer survivorship inequities and may inform culturally tailored cancer survivorship interventions in Black and Latinx communities
Strategies for Recruiting Older Black Men into Aging and Alzheimer's Research
These recruitment strategies help us address many barriers to recruiting older Black men. They can be easily implemented by researchers conducting aging and brain health research or interested in working with older Black men and under-represented populations
Cognition and Wealth Changes in Mid-to-later Life
ObjectivesTo assess how cognitive trajectories from mid-to-later life relate to wealth change, overall and by mid-life income. Methods: Data were from participants (51-64 years) in the 2000-2018 U.S. Health and Retirement Study who were cognitively healthy at baseline (year 2000; unweighted n = 3821). Longitudinal latent class analyses generated cognitive and wealth trajectories, independently, and multinomial logistic regressions estimated the a…
How will I live this life that I’m trying to save? Being a female breast cancer survivor in Nigeria
We argue that cancer-related identity and cancer-related stigma are key factors with help-seeking and quality-of-life implications. Tailored interventions such as cancer health education and social support for cancer survivors may help reduce the burden of cancer in Nigeria
Different Interpretations of “Honor Your Parents”
Understanding how different conceptions of "honor your parents" translate to expectations for and modes of parental caregiving can illuminate how caregiving needs can be met for the aging populations of the United States, Ghana, and Nigeria
The modernity/coloniality of love
A manifestation of coloniality in psychological science concerns the modern individualist lifeways that inform mainstream research. We report results of a multi‐method research project that investigated implications of these ways of being for the experience of love in Ghanaian settings. In particular, we investigated the hypothesis that engagement with Pentecostal Charismatic Churches (PCCs)—an important carrier of individualist lifeways in many …
Epistemic Violence in Research on Eldercare
Decolonial perspectives challenge the notion that standard knowledge in hegemonic psychology is productive of progress and enlightenment. They instead emphasise its association with the colonial violence that constitutes the darker underside of modern development. Our contribution to the special issue applies a decolonial perspective to theory and research on obligation to an elderly parent. Thinking from the standpoint of West African epistemic …
