The co-evolution of informal social status and gossip in workplace social networks
This study examines the co-evolution of informal social status and the three positions in a gossip triad – gossip senders, receivers, and objects – in the workplace. Two different social mechanisms are proposed to explain these interrelationships, suggesting relationships between gossip and informal social status in the opposite direction. First, the social bonding perspective suggests that gossip bonds between actors in a gossip triad shape thei…
Relationship Difficulty Is Associated With Poorer Mental Health in Later Life
Objectives Integration into social networks is an important promotor of well-being and aging healthily, yet the dark side of social networks includes encounters with network members that are perceived as unpleasant, demanding, or difficult. This study investigates the association of relationship difficulty in older adults’ core networks with the mental health outcomes of loneliness, depression, and anxiety. Methods Survey data were collected from…
The ties that bother
Theorizations of social exchanges often assume that people prefer interactions with supportive others but avoid others they perceive as demanding or difficult. Yet, many social relationships are ambivalent, i.e., entail a combination of positive and negative interactions. We refer to difficult relationships as ties with an equal and high share of both elements or ties where the net balance of these two elements is outweighed by negativity. This s…
Who would ask whom for health advice? The structural anatomy of health advice networks among middle-aged and older adults
Social relationships provide opportunities to exchange and obtain health advice. Not only close confidants may be perceived as sources of health advice, but also acquaintances met in places outside a closed circle of family and friends, e.g., in voluntary organizations. This study is the first to analyze the structure of complete health advice networks in three voluntary organizations and compare them with more commonly studied close relationship…
Workplace gossip and the evolution of friendship relations
Gossip is a pervasive phenomenon in organizations causing many individuals to have second-hand information about their colleagues. However, whether it is used to inform friendship choices (i.e., friendship creation, friendship maintenance, friendship discontinuation) is not that evident. This paper articulates and empirically tests a complex contagion model to explain how gossip, through its reputational effects, can affect the evolution of frien…
Employees’ healthy eating and physical activity
Overall, colleagues' encouragement and own healthy behaviours have the potential to contribute to creating a culture of health in the workplace and support all employees in making healthy choices
Educational Inequalities in Labor Market Exit of Older Workers in 15 European Countries
This article examines country differences in the association between education and voluntary or involuntary labor market exit and whether these country differences map onto institutional characteristics of the countries. Work exit is defined as involuntary or voluntary based on the reasons of exit. Four different types of institutional factors, push and pull , aiming for an earlier work exit and need and maintain factors to retain older workers i…
Grandparenthood and risk of mortality
Grandparenthood constitutes a significant role for older adults and may have important health implications. Our study examines the grandparenthood-mortality nexus, controlling for an array of potentially confounding variables. Longitudinal survey data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) were used, comprising twelve biennial waves from 1992 to 2014 with linked data on vital status derived from the National Death Index. The sample included 2…
Social Network Characteristics and Their Associations With Stress in Older Adults
The absence of a stress-reducing effect from network closure suggests that balance matters more. Future research would benefit from considering balance when examining the characteristics of social networks that impinge on mental health outcomes in older adults
Cognitive functioning among Dutch older adults
Neighborhood income and major depressive disorder in a large Dutch population
Living in a low-income neighborhood is associated with major depressive episodes. Our results suggest that this association is partly explained by chronic diseases, lifestyle factors, stress and poor social participation, and thereby partly confirm conceptual model 1. Our results do not support conceptual model 2 and 3
Types of Non-kin Networks and Their Association With Survival in Late Adulthood
A combination of structural and functional network characteristics should be taken into account when developing intervention programs aiming at increasing social integration outside the family network
The mix matters
Social Contacts of Older People in 27 European Countries
Social contacts of older people have consistently been associated with good health and longevity. The extent of individual social contacts, however, varies considerably between countries. We study why countries differ in amounts of social contacts of older adults. Using theory on income inequality and neo-materialism, we expect the amount of social contacts of older people to be highest in countries with low income inequality and comprehensive we…
