Quality aging as an integrative concept in gerontology
Moderating Effect of Family Function Between Dysfunctional Thoughts and Emotional Distress in Dementia Caregivers: Kinship Differences
Caring for a family member with dementia impacts caregivers' mental health. Daughters who provide care seem to be particularly affected due to their multiple roles. The study analyzed the role of dysfunctional thoughts and family function for understanding caregivers' depressive and anxiety symptoms, focusing on the potential moderating effect of family function in the relationship between dysfunctional thoughts and distress. In addition, it exam…
Pain Prevalence and Intensity Among Older Family Caregivers Versus Non-Caregivers in the United States
ObjectiveWe compared pain prevalence and intensity between caregivers and non-caregivers, as well as between different types of caregivers.MethodUsing two rounds of data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project, we used regression models to analyze differences in pain prevalence and intensity between caregivers and non-caregivers at baseline (2010-2011) and follow-up (2015-2016). The sample consisted of 2332 participants aged 62 a…
Cross-National Analysis of the Associations Between Familism and Self-Efficacy in Family Caregivers of People With Dementia: Effects on Burden and Depression
Objectives: To examine the cross-national associations between familism and self-efficacy dimensions, and levels of burden and depression. Methods: Sociodemographic, familism, self-efficacy, depressive symptoms, and burden variables were measured in 349 dementia family caregivers from the US and Spain. Results: US sample: greater support from family was positively related to self-efficacy for obtaining respite and self-efficacy for controlling up…
Patterns and Processes of Intergenerational Estrangement: A Qualitative Study of Mother–Adult Child Relationships Across Time
Drawing from the life course perspective, we explored patterns of estrangement between mothers and their adult children across time, and the processes through which these ties remained estranged, or moved in or out of estrangement. We used a prospective design in which data were collected in face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 61 older mothers about their relationships with their 274 adult children at two time points 7 years apart. We be…
The Benefits of Intergenerational Wisdom-Sharing: A Randomized Controlled Study
Adolescents' opportunities to benefit from the life wisdom of older persons are very limited. To address this issue, we designed and tested the Building a Community Legacy Together (BCLT) program based on research on the benefits of older people's wisdom for youth development. In the intervention, the youth participants were trained prior to conducting interviews with older persons regarding their advice for living. The youth participants analyze…
Continuity and Changes in Attitudes, Health Care, and Caregiving for Older Adults During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Prodigal Children: Why Older Mothers Favor Their Once-Deviant Adult Children
Mothers' perceptions of children's behavioral reformations as being accompanied by greater dedication to family or reflecting a need for their mothers' support offer 2 explanations for why previously deviant adult children may become mothers' favored offspring. These findings contribute to a growing body of scholarship on the complexity of intergenerational relations by shedding new light on changing patterns of favoritism in families with a hist…
Family Matters: Cross-Cultural Differences in Familism and Caregiving Outcomes
Results indicate that greater levels of familism and social support may exert a protective influence against adverse psychosocial caregiving outcomes. These findings can be used to inform intervention efforts targeting culturally congruent, family-centered approaches
Benefits for Older People Engaged in Environmental Volunteering and Socializing Activities in City Parks: Preliminary Results of a Program in Italy
The objective of this pilot study was to investigate the feasibility of an environmental volunteering program involving park restoration and social activities for older people. Older people face a series of challenges, ranging from social isolation and depression to a lack of exercise, as well as the difficult task of creating new meaning to deal with a decrease in vitality and new social relationships, interests, and commitments. From this persp…

Caring for Chronically Ill Older Adults: A View Over the Last 75 Years
We explore major trends over the last 75 years that affect care provision to chronically ill older adults. We examine shifting demographics that have altered the nature and dynamics of family and formal care systems. Next, we identify changes in clinical health care approaches, including the rising population of chronically ill older persons and concerns about continuity of care. We conclude with an assessment of the growing impact of the technol…
Interventions to Reduce Ageism Against Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background. Research has found a strong link between ageism, in the form of negative stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination toward older people, and risks to their physical and mental health. Little is known, however, about the effectiveness of strategies to reduce ageism. Objectives. To assess the relative effects of 3 intervention types designed to reduce ageism among youths and adults—education, intergenerational contact, and combined educ…
Ambivalence, families and care
Although research shows that most parents and adult children report generally positive and supportive ties, there is also evidence that negative interactions and emotions are common in intergenerational relationships. To investigate this complexity, researchers have moved beyond simple models to orientations and approaches that recognise contradictory emotions and attitudes regarding family relationships in later life. These efforts have given ri…
Prevalence of Financial Fraud and Scams Among Older Adults in the United States: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background. The financial exploitation of older adults was recently recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a serious public health problem. Knowledge of the prevalence of elder financial exploitation is mostly limited to the category of financial abuse, which occurs in relationships involving an expectation of trust. Little is known about the other major category of elder financial exploitation—elder financial fraud and s…
Applying Within-Family Differences Approaches to Enhance Understanding of the Complexity of Intergenerational Relations
Within-family differences approaches have been shown to shed new light on intergenerational relations. Despite the value of within-family designs, their use may be limited by the higher investment of finances and time required to implement such studies

DESIGN AND METHODS: This article provides a scoping review of key issues in the field from an international perspectiv…
Decision Support for Joint Replacement: Implications for Decisional Conflict and Willingness to Undergo Surgery
Our findings point to the importance of involving both formal and informal network members in TJR discussions, and the need for informational guidance and practical assistance to reduce decisional conflict and uncertainty among individuals considering TJR
My Pride and Joy? Predicting Favoritism and Disfavoritism in Mother-Adult Child Relations
In this article, we compare predictors of mothers' differentiation among their adult children regarding emotional closeness, pride, conflict, and disappointment. We distinguish between predictors of relational (closeness, conflict) and evaluative (pride, disappointment) dimensions of favoritism and disfavoritism. Multilevel modeling using data collected from 381 older mothers regarding their relationships with 1,421 adult children indicated that …
Decision Support Preferences Among Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White Older Adults With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
Results reveal the importance of empathic patient-provider exchanges across diverse patient populations and cultural sensitivity for Spanish-speaking patients. Findings suggest that social networks beyond the patient-provider dyad influence patients' decision-making satisfaction
Role of Perceived Maternal Favoritism and Disfavoritism in Adult Children’s Psychological Well-Being
The findings shed new light on the role of intergenerational relations in adult children's well-being in midlife by taking into consideration the respondents' direct reports of their perceptions of their mothers' favoritism and disfavoritism. Further, the findings provide evidence that the association between maternal differentiation and psychological well-being in adulthood is stronger in Black than in White families. These patterns suggest that…
Identifying Key Priorities for Future Palliative Care Research Using an Innovative Analytic Approach
Using an innovative approach, we identified research priorities in palliative care to guide future research initiatives. We searched 7 databases (2005–2012) for review articles published on the topics of palliative and hospice–end-of-life care. The identified research recommendations (n = 648) fell into 2 distinct categories: (1) ways to improve methodological approaches and (2) specific topic areas in need of future study. The most commonly cite…
Practice-Based Research Priorities for Palliative Care: Results From a Research-to-Practice Consensus Workshop
We employed the research-to-practice consensus workshop (RTP; workshops held in New York City and Tompkins County, New York, in 2013) model to merge researcher and practitioner views of translational research priorities in palliative care. In the RTP approach, a diverse group of frontline providers generates a research agenda for palliative care in collaboration with researchers. We have presented the major workshop recommendations and contrasted…

Explaining Mothers' Ambivalence Toward Their Adult Children
Interest in applying the concept of ambivalence to the study of intergenerational relations has increased in recent years. However, few empirical studies of this issue have been conducted. Using data from a study of 189 mothers aged 60 and over, the authors examine sources of ambivalence regarding the quality of their relationships with adult children. They hypothesized that adult children's failure to achieve and maintain normative adult statuse…
Choosing Daughters: Exploring Why Mothers Favor Adult Daughters over Sons
This article uses quantitative and qualitative data from 424 mothers' relationships with 1,494 adult children to explore gender differences in mothers' choices of children as sources of support and closeness. Despite strong theoretical arguments regarding the priority of the mother- daughter tie, empirical research has not provided consistent support for this pattern. This article explores whether inconsistent findings regarding the priority of m…
Capturing the Complexity of Intergenerational Relations: Exploring Ambivalence within Later‐Life Families
This article reports on a study that incorporates two dimensions of complexity in intergenerational relations. First, the article focuses on ambivalence: the simultaneous existence of positive and negative sentiments in the older parent–adult child relationship. Second, the research described here applies a within‐family design to the study of ambivalence, using a data set that includes 566 older mothers' assessments of ambivalence toward all of …
Within-Family Differences in Mothers' Support to Adult Children
These findings indicate that within-family differences in support to children continue across the life course. Such variations within the family underscore the importance of using designs that provide information on relationships between parents and each of their children, rather than focusing on single parent-child dyads
Estrangement Between Mothers and Adult Children: The Role of Norms and Values
Relationships between mothers and their children are expected to be lifelong and rewarding for both members of the dyad. Because of the salience of these ties, they are likely to be disrupted only under conditions of extreme relational tension and dissatisfaction. In this work, the authors drew on theoretical arguments regarding societal norm violations and value similarity to examine the processes that lead to estrangement between mothers and ad…
Conceptualizing and Measuring Intergenerational Ambivalence in Later Life
The analyses presented here suggest that direct and indirect measures of intergenerational ambivalence may not be tapping the same underlying construct, particularly in the case of adult children and especially sons. Furthermore, direct measures may have an advantage over indirect measures when including sons in the study design. We conclude that direct and indirect measures cannot be used interchangeably across the combination of generation and …
"Will I Ever Escape My Child's Problems?" Effects of Adult Children's Problems on Elderly Parents
Karl Pillemer, J. Jill Suitor, "Will I Ever Escape My Child's Problems?" Effects of Adult Children's Problems on Elderly Parents, Journal of Marriage and Family, Vol. 53, No. 3 (Aug., 1991), pp. 585-594
Do Positive Feelings Hurt? Disaggregating Positive and Negative Components of Intergenerational Ambivalence
Ambivalence has become an important conceptual development in the study of parent-adult child relations, with evidence highlighting that intergenerational relationships are characterized by a mix of positive and negative components. Recent studies have shown that ambivalence has detrimental consequences for both parents' and adult children's psychological well-being. The underlying assumption of this line of research is that psychological distres…
Ambivalence Toward Adult Children: Differences Between Mothers and Fathers
The authors examined how ambivalence toward adult children within the same family differs between mothers and fathers and whether patterns of maternal and paternal ambivalence can be explained by the same set of predictors. Using data collected in the Within-Family Differences Study, they compared older married mothers' and fathers' (N = 129) assessments of ambivalence toward each of their adult children (N = 444). Fathers reported higher levels …
Applying Within-Family Differences Approaches to Enhance Understanding of the Complexity of Intergenerational Relations
Within-family differences approaches have been shown to shed new light on intergenerational relations. Despite the value of within-family designs, their use may be limited by the higher investment of finances and time required to implement such studies
When Experience Counts: The Effects of Experiential and Structural Similarity on Patterns of Support and Interpersonal Stress
Previous research has suggested that individuals benefit from having associates who are similar to themselves on a variety of dimensions. This article develops a theoretical basis for predicting which types of similarity are most important in determining whether associates will be sources of social support or interpersonal stress. Drawing upon theories of homophily and reference groups, we suggest that experiential similarity (e.g., having experi…
Differential Effects of Perceptions of Mothers' and Fathers' Favoritism on Sibling Tension in Adulthood
These findings contribute to a growing body of research demonstrating the consequences of parental favoritism in adulthood. Equally important, they demonstrate that perceptions of fathers' current favoritism plays an even greater role in shaping their adult children's sibling relations than do mothers' favoritism
The Role of Perceived Maternal Favoritism in Sibling Relations in Midlife
Data were collected from 708 adult children nested within 274 later-life families from the Within-Family Differences Study to explore the role of perceived maternal favoritism in the quality of sibling relations in midlife. Mixed-model analyses revealed that regardless of which sibling was favored, perceptions of current favoritism and recollections of favoritism in childhood reduced closeness among siblings. Recollections of maternal favoritism …
Role of Perceived Maternal Favoritism and Disfavoritism in Adult Children’s Psychological Well-Being
The findings shed new light on the role of intergenerational relations in adult children's well-being in midlife by taking into consideration the respondents' direct reports of their perceptions of their mothers' favoritism and disfavoritism. Further, the findings provide evidence that the association between maternal differentiation and psychological well-being in adulthood is stronger in Black than in White families. These patterns suggest that…

Continuity and Change in Mothers' Favoritism Toward Offspring in Adulthood
The importance of parental favoritism in childhood and adulthood has been well documented; little is known, however, about changes over time in such within-family differentiation. Drawing on theories of life course processes and developmental psychology, the authors used 7-year panel data collected from 406 older mothers about their relationships with 1,514 adult children to explore patterns of favoritism regarding caregiving and emotional closen…
Sources of Support and Interpersonal Stress in the Networks of Married Caregiving Daughters Findings from a 2-year Longitudinal Study
This research uses data collected on 57 married daughters and 1,069 members of their social networks to examine patterns of social support and interpersonal stress across the first two years of caring for parents with dementia. Reports by the caregivers indicated that friends were the most prominent source of emotional support, while siblings were the greatest source of instrumental support and interpersonal stress, both shortly after the parent'…
Mothers' Differentiation and Depressive Symptoms Among Adult Children
Parents' differentiation has been linked to negative psychological and behavioral outcomes in children, adolescents, and young adults. This line of research, however, has not been extended to families in later life. In this article, we use data from 671 mother-child dyads in 275 families in the greater Boston area to explore whether mothers' differentiation among their children is related to psychological well-being among offspring. We examined a…
It Takes One To Help One: Effects of Similar Others on the Well-being of Caregivers
It is commonly assumed that bringing together caregivers with other persons who have been through the caregiving experience is highly beneficial. However, research has not established the degree to which such "experientially similar" others benefit caregivers. We analyzed data from a study of 254 individuals caring for relatives with Alzheimer's disease or a related disorder and 2,659 members of their social networks. The presence of experiential…
Conflict with Mothers and Siblings During Caregiving: Differential Costs for Black and White Adult Children
This study highlights ways in which the experiences of caregivers reflect broader patterns of differences between Black and White families in both intergenerational cohesion and health disparities in midlife
The Presence of Adult Children: A Source of Stress for Elderly Couples' Marriages
Recent national data indicate that increasing numbers of adult children continue to live or return to live in their parents' homes. Although a substantial amount of research has been directed toward understanding how the presence of young children affects parents' marital relationships, little attention has been paid to the effects of the presence of adult children on elderly parents' relationships. In the present study a random sample of 677 eld…
Perceptions of Equity, Balance of Support Exchange, and Mother-Adult Child Relations
Equity theory suggests that relationships are more harmonious when both members of a dyad believe that their exchanges are fair. However, the level and frequency of exchange, rather than perceptions of equity, have been the focus of most research on support and the quality of intergenerational relations. Using data from 1,426 mother-child dyads nested within 413 families collected as part of the Within-Family Differences Study, the authors explor…
The Dangers of Dependency: New Findings on Domestic Violence against the Elderly
Drawing on data from a case-control study of physical abuse of the elderly, this paper examines conflicting hypotheses: (1) that the increased dependency of an older person causes stress for relatives, who then respond with physical violence versus (2) that the increased dependency of the abusive relative leads to maltreatment. The results of quantitative and qualitative analyses are consistent: the elderly victims were not likely to be more depe…

Social Integration in the Second Half of Life
Social scientists use the term social integration to refer to individuals' connections with others in their environments. The concept and its consequences have been the subject of considerable study. Many researchers have asserted that meaningful and enduring ties to other persons serve as a buffer against stress, and thereby promote physical and mental health. The results are especially pronounced for older persons. Social Integration in the Sec…
