Intersectionality of age and gender discrimination
This study investigates the effects of age and gender discrimination on job satisfaction, with a specific focus on older female workers who encounter the intersection of these two biases. To elucidate how these factors operate simultaneously, the study evaluates four conceptual models: (1) Additive, where each form of discrimination has a unique, cumulative influence; (2) Synergistic, where one form strengthens the influence of the other; (3) Inv…
Perceived Age Discrimination has Different Effects on Japanese People's Wellbeing Based on Age Groups
This study elucidates the direct and indirect effects of perceived age discrimination on depressive symptoms and life satisfaction among young, middle-aged, and older adults—through the mediator variables of psychosocial resources and aging stereotypes. Data were collected through a web-based survey conducted in Japan. The total sample size was 2400: 400 men and women in each of the age groups 20 to 39, 40 to 59, and 60 to 79. Our findings indica…
Big Five Personality Traits, Social Networks, and Depression Among Older Adults in Japan
This study examines the mediating effect of social network size on depression among older adults in Japan in association with the Big Five personality traits: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness. Cross-sectional data were obtained from 739 older adults (Mean age = 75.13, SD = 6.86) residing in Tokyo. Multiple mediation analyses estimated total, indirect, and direct effects between personality and depression. …
Living Alone and Depressive Symptoms Among Older Japanese
Our findings indicate that living alone has a differential effect on older adults' well-being depending on the social context where residents' preferences for living arrangements and availability of formal services could vary
Health, psychological, social and environmental mediators between socio-economic inequalities and participation in exercise among elderly Japanese
This study examined which of the identified health, psychological, social and environmental mediators could most effectively explain the socio-economic status (SES)-based differences in participation in exercise among elderly Japanese. The candidates for mediators were composed based on the socio-ecological model. A representative sample of people 65 years and older living in two areas with different residential SES in Tokyo, Japan produced 739 e…
Social Networks' Health Habits Over Life Course and Late-life Health Habits
Objectives: In this study, we examined Japanese older adults' health habits (healthy diet, exercise, and nonsmoking) using 4 models: sensitive period, pathway, social mobility, and cumulative effects. Methods: A representative cross-sectional survey of people 65 years and older, living in Tokyo, produced 739 effective respondents. Health habits in social networks over the life course, at junior high school, age 20, and age 40, were measured throu…
Productive Roles, Gender, and Depressive Symptoms
Using three waves of panel data collected from a national sample of Japanese adults between the ages of 55 and 64 years, we examined the relationship between productive roles and depressive symptoms. Our particular emphasis was on multiple roles, role transitions, and gender differences. We found that, among men, engaging in more hours of paid or volunteer work was related to fewer depressive symptoms. Although men who lost their paid work role r…
