Social roles and role importance in later life: A longitudinal analysis of stability and change
Older adults hold various social roles that are assumed to change over time due to life transitions. The (relative) importance assigned to these roles is proposed as a distinct and relevant component of later-life social functioning, yet longitudinal research is lacking. This exploratory study examined the stability and change in the (relative) importance of various social roles, as well as potential predictors of individual differences in change…
Older adults’ preferences and behaviour during warm weather and heatwaves in the urban environment: A case study in southwestern Sweden
In the face of a warming climate and an ageing population, developing age-friendly urban areas is increasingly important. This study investigates the impact of the urban environment and socio-demographic factors on older adults’ perceptions of indoor heat and outdoor activity during warm summers and heatwaves. The study takes a novel approach, incorporating survey data from older adults (age 64–92, n = 348) living in southwestern Sweden, with dat…
The longitudinal relations between mental state talk and theory of mind
We conclude that the parental ability to capture the thoughts, beliefs, and knowledge present in different scenarios is associated with children's ability to understand other minds. Moreover, parents' way of talking about the mental states of others is associated with their children's ability to understand and further develop ToM
Motivational Drivers of Temporal Dynamics in Postretirement Work
Our findings suggest that financial motives constitute an important driver for taking up more work in retirement, while motives related to the personal meaning of work explain why retirees maintain their level of engagement over time. The social function of work, on the other hand, may be gradually replaced by social activities outside of work, resulting in a gradual disengagement from work. Finally, demand-driven motives appear insufficient to r…
Personality and reasoning ability during retirement age: Report from a Swedish population-based longitudinal study
We examined the association between personality and level and change in reasoning ability in a population-based sample of older adults (62–68 years) using a three-year annual follow-up longitudinal study design (HEARTS; N = 3851). Personality traits were measured using the Mini-IPIP scale and reasoning using a short form of Raven’s Matrices. Findings from a structural equation model, controlling for age, education, and sex, revealed that higher l…
The role of personality in retirement adjustment: Longitudinal evidence for the effects on life satisfaction
OBJECTIVE: Research on retirement suggests that personality can influence the adjustment process, but the mechanisms involved remain still largely unknown. In the present study, we investigate direct and indirect associations between the Big Five personality traits and life satisfaction over the retirement transition. Indirect effects were evaluated through the role of personality for levels and changes in self-esteem, autonomy, social support, s…
Up and About: Older Adults’ Well-being During the Covid-19 Pandemic in a Swedish Longitudinal Study
In the early stage of the pandemic, Swedish older adults on average rated their well-being as high as, or even higher than, previous years. However, those who worried more reported lower well-being. Our findings speak to the resilience, but also heterogeneity, among older adults during the pandemic. Further research, on a broad range of health factors and long-term psychological consequences, is needed
Disentangling the Mechanisms of Retirement Adjustment: Determinants and Consequences of Subjective Well-Being
Retirement from work is a major life event requiring adaptation to new life circumstances. The resource-based dynamic model of retirement adjustment suggests that well-being will change due to changes in individual resources. In the present study, we test this hypothesis by investigating longitudinal and bidirectional associations between life satisfaction and perceived resources (i.e., self-esteem, autonomy, social support, self-rated physical h…
Preretirement Work Motivation and Subsequent Retirement Adjustment: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective
Research grounded in self-determination theory confirms the importance of different types of work motivation for well-being and job performance. Less is known about the role of work motivation at the end of one’s working life and its association with adjustment to retirement. We investigated the association between preretirement work motivation and retirement adjustment in a subsample of the Health, Aging and Retirement Transitions in Sweden (HEA…
Can personality predict longitudinal study attrition? Evidence from a population-based sample of older adults
Changes in Life Satisfaction in the Retirement Transition: Interaction Effects of Transition Type and Individual Resources
The impact of retirement on well-being varies between individuals, but also within individuals over time. Type of transition and individual differences in resource capability are two factors likely to influence the retirement adjustment process, but we still lack in our understanding of the importance of these factors in relation to each other. The aim of this study was to investigate interaction effects of transition type and individual resource…
