Health Information Seeking as a Coping Strategy to Reduce Alzheimer’s Caregivers’ Stress
Individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia (referred to as AD) deteriorate over time, and there will likely be a corresponding increase in levels of burden and stress for caregivers. Despite the significant contributions made by informal caregivers, there are no widely available mechanisms that meet the information needs of informal caregivers. Using a qualitative approach, the current study focuses on AD caregiver informati…
Beyond Entertainment: Motivations and Outcomes of Video Game Playing by Older Adults and Their Younger Family Members
The percentage of older adults who are active gamers has increased tremendously in recent years.

Perceptions of Trust, Compliance and Accommodation in Police-Civilian Encounters: A Russian, Turkish and Americ an Cross-National Analysis
Research in Asia, South Africa, and the United States has produced models of police-civilian interaction that highlight the effect of officers’ communication accommodation on attitudinal outcomes. Specif ically, this research has demonstrated that of ficers’ accommodative practices are potent predictors of civilians’ attributed trust in police and their perceived likelihood of compliance with police requests.

Communicative Dynamics of Police-Civilian Encounters: South African and American Interethnic Data
Research in the American West, China, and Taiwan has shown that officers’ communication accommodative practices (and attributed trust in them) can be more potent predictors of satisfaction with the police than are the sociodemographic characteristics of those judging. With Black and White respondents, this study continues this line of work in Louisiana and South Africa and tests a new model about the relationships among perceived officer accommod…
Young Adults' Stereotypes of Older Adults With Their Grandparents as the Targets
Young adults' stereotypes of older adults have been well established in the literature, but the target of these stereotypes usually is an unknown older individual. Intergenerational interaction, however, is more common between people who are known to each other. Specifically, the older individuals with whom young adults most frequently interact are their grandparents. This study examines the role that closeness plays in mediating young adults' (n…

Lifespan Communication
Lifespan communication researchers investigate the changes in relevant communication perceptions, behaviors, and interpersonal relationships across the entirety of our lives. Borrowing from the pioneering work of behavioral researchers in our sister disciplines of psychology, sociology, anthropology, and human development, communication researchers utilizing the lifespan perspective to guide their investigations have produced a significant amount…
Mother-Adult Daughter Discussions of Caregiving Prior to Dependency: Exploring Conflicts Among European-American Women
Thirty-six mother-adult daughter dyads discussed potential caregiving decisions prior to the mother's dependency. Their interactions were coded for exhibited conflict, use of control strategies, level of involvement in the discussion, and regard for each other. In addition, they reported their use of conflict strategies when having a disagreement with each other. Less than 40% of these dyads exhibited a disagreement. Mothers with high nonconfront…
Implicit Decision-Making in Family Caregiving
Thirty-six independent, community-dwelling mothers (aged 54-87 years) and their adult daughters (aged 26-58 years) were interviewed regarding how they would go about making caregiving decisions in the future. The mothers indicated that they would involve their daughters in the decision-making process. However, the vast majority (78.99%) indicated that they had not had, nor did they feel a need to have, explicit discussions regarding caregiving pr…

Admission-Related Migration by Older Nursing Home Residents
Examination of factors associated with the distance and patterns of nursing home mobility improves our understanding of the nursing home selection process and helps to illuminate the impact of public policy, market forces, and nursing home staff on who goes where to be admitted to a nursing home
