This paper employs duoethnography, a variant of autoethnography, to explore how experiences related to growing older have informed the authors' teaching and scholarship in the field of ageing. Duoethnography involves putting two autoethnographies into conversation, promoting dynamic self-understandi…

Singlehood and Subjective Well-Being among Mature Gay Men
The physical and mental health benefits of marriage and partnership are well established, for men in particular. By comparison, very little research has examined within-group differences in social support and well-being within the proportionately large population of single gay men. Employing structured interviews, this study employed Rasch analysis to examine family and friendship ties within a convenience sample of middle-aged and older single g…
Boundary-Spanning Demands, Personal Mastery, and Family Satisfaction
Grounded in ecological systems theory, this study modeled family satisfaction as a function of family-unfriendly work culture, work–family blurring, and personal mastery, examining both individual crossover effects.

Mothers' family-…
Marital and Family Satisfaction as a Function of Work-Family Demands and Community Resources
This study uses individual- and couple-level analyses to examine the influence of work-family demands and community resources on marital and family satisfaction within a sample of dual-earner parents with dependent children ( N = 260 couples, 520 individuals). Total couple work hours were strongly negatively associated with marital satisfaction for both fathers and mothers. Work hours may be best studied as a couple-level demand, and working shor…

A convenience sample of 94 self-identified single gay men from a large midwestern city, ages 35 and over, completed a structured questionnaire that included the 15-item Adaptation to Single Status Measure. Twenty of these men also participated in semi-structured life-history interviews. Descriptive, it…
