Memorable Messages About Retirement, Own Communication About Financial Preparations for Retirement, and Successful Aging
This study addressed how communication about retirement fits in the communicative ecology model of successful aging (CEMSA). U.S. American older adults ( N = 294, M Age = 59.27 years) reported on a memorable message they heard about retirement, as well as on their own talk about how they can be financially prepared for retirement. Older adults who wrote a memorable message with a theme of (a) saving money for retirement or (b) relaxing or enjoyin…

Older Adults’ Recalled Memorable Messages About Death, Dying, and the Afterlife and Their Associations with Successful Aging
Grounded in the communicative ecology model of successful aging, this study examined how memorable messages about death, dying, and the afterlife (DDA) are associated with aging experiences. In a self-report survey, older adults ( N = 300, M age = 59.74 years) wrote a memorable message about DDA and reported on the message's motivational impact. They also reported on their affect about aging, aging efficacy, and successful aging. The memorable me…

Older adults ( N = 272, M Age = 64.96 years) reported on the most important memorable message about religion that has shaped their lives, as well as on their own religious communication (i.e., religious helping and seeking religious support). Memorable messages with a theme of (a) developing a personal relationship with God and…

Yet, conventional understandings of friendship might not holistically describe the experiences and meaning of friendship when grappling with two ongoing, stigmatized stressors. Guided by Communicated Narrative Sense‐Making theory, this study examines how people with OUD and CJI narratively m…
Support Gaps in the Grandparent–Grandchild Relationship
This study applied the support gaps concept, or discrepancies between the amount of support desired and received, to the grandparent – grandchild relationship by examining grandchildren’s perceptions of support gaps from a grandparent and how gaps are associated with loneliness. Young adult grandchildren (N = 300) completed an online survey. Grandchildren experienced support surpluses from grandparents, such that they received more emotional, est…
