  • The Nudge Effect of “Happy to Chat” Badges

    Open Access•Dorothy Yen, Jung Min Jang et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Happiness Studies•2026

    Social connection is essential for well-being, yet people often avoid interacting with strangers due to concerns about conversation quality or a lack of shared interests. This study investigates whether the Happy to Chat badge can act as a behavioural nudge to promote social connectedness. Using a nationally representative online sample of 1,738 adults in England (via YouGov), we tested whether wearing the badge influences perceptions of friendli…

  • Negotiating the caring role and carer identity over time

    Open Access•Stapley, Claire Pentecost et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2026•Referências: 57

    Longitudinal studies can provide insights into how family members negotiate the caring role and carer identity over time. The analyses of the longitudinal, qualitative interviews on ‘living well’ with dementia from the IDEAL cohort study aimed to identify the shifting, embedded narratives of family members of people with dementia as they negotiated the caring role and carer identity over time. Twenty semi-structured, qualitative interviews were c…

    Open Access•Stapley, Stephen J Page et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2025•Citada por: 1•Referências: 57

    Understanding how to improve the physical and cognitive accessibility of visitor economy businesses and organisations wanting to offer nature-based outdoor pursuits for people with dementia is key to supporting their inclusion and agency. The aim of this qualitative study was to understand the experiences, needs and preferences of people with dementia participating in nature-based outdoor pursuits in their leisure time. Semi-structured interviews…

  • Happy to chat? Understanding older people’s attitudes and experiences of talking to strangers

    Open Access•Dorothy Yen, Benedetta Cappellini et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2025•Referências: 26

    Extant literature shows that small conversations with strangers can help improve individuals’ wellbeing while reducing feelings of loneliness. Nevertheless, previous studies on talking to strangers tend to focus on young participants in controlled experimental settings, leaving a gap in understanding older adults’ experiences and their likelihood of adopting talking to strangers as part of their daily healthy ageing practices. Considering the pro…

  • Perspectives of Minority Ethnic Caregivers of People with Dementia Interviewed as Part of the Ideal Programme

    Open Access•Cilius Victor, Eleanor van den Heuvel et al.•ARTICLE•Health & Social Care in the…•2024•Referências: 3

    Postwar migrants from the Caribbean and Indian subcontinent (Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan) to the UK are now experiencing the onset of age‐related diseases such as dementia. Our evidence base, both quantitative and qualitative, documenting the experiences of family caregivers of people with dementia is largely drawn from studies undertaken with white European, North American, and Australasian populations. Consequently, there is a need for rese…

  • Positive experiences in dementia care-giving

    Open Access•Charlotte Quinn, Gill Toms et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2024•Citada por: 1•Referências: 52

    There is a growing evidence base that identifying positive experiences in providing care can have a beneficial influence on carer wellbeing. However, there is a need to better understand what carers identify as the positive aspects of care-giving. The aim of this study is to explore the satisfying aspects of providing care to people with dementia. This study utilised Time 1 data from 1,277 carers of people in the mild-to-moderate stages of dement…

    Stringent social restrictions imposed during 2020 to counter the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic could significantly affect the wellbeing and quality of life of people with dementia living in the community and their family carers. We explored the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on people with dementia and family carers in England and considered how negative effects might be mitigated. We conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with 11 peop…

    New policies and efforts from the government, philanthropic foundations, the voluntary and primary care sectors are needed to address social, cultural, and economic disadvantage among people with dementia

  • Choking under pressure

    Open Access•Ellie Pearce, Manuela Barreto et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2022

    Previous experimental work showed that young adults reporting loneliness performed less well on emotion recognition tasks (Diagnostic Analysis of Nonverbal Accuracy [DANVA-2]) if they were framed as indicators of social aptitude, but not when the same tasks were framed as indexing academic aptitude. Such findings suggested that undergraduates reporting loneliness possessed the social monitoring skills necessary to read the emotions underlying oth…

    In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the swift response of mental health research funders and institutions, service providers, and academics enabled progress toward understanding the mental health consequences. Nevertheless, there remains an urgent need to understand the true extent of the short- and long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, necessitating ongoing research. Although the speed with which mental health researcher…

  • Exploring the Frequency, Intensity, and Duration of Loneliness

    Open Access•Pamela Qualter, Kimberly Petersen et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

    Almost all measures of loneliness have been developed without discussing how to best conceptualize and assess the severity of loneliness. In the current study, we adapted the four-item UCLA, so that it continued to measure frequency of loneliness, but also assessed intensity and duration, providing a measure of other aspects of loneliness severity. Using data from participants resident in the UK who completed the BBC Loneliness Experiment (N = 36…

  • The role of subjective social status in living well for carers of people with dementia

    Open Access•Cilius Victor, Isla Rippon et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Care and…•2021•Referências: 11

    We investigated how carers of people with dementia evaluate their standing in their community and wider society, and if this is related to ‘living well’. We used baseline data from the Improving the experience of Dementia and Enhancing Active Life programme and found that carers rated their standing in society higher than in their local community. Higher evaluations of both were associated with enhanced life satisfaction, well-being and quality o…

    Our results indicate that loneliness in older adults is higher in the most deprived areas independent of individual-level factors. In order to develop appropriate interventions further research is required to investigate how area-level factors combine with individual-level loneliness vulnerability measures to generate increased levels of loneliness in deprived areas

  • Dying alone and lonely dying

    Open Access•Holly Nelson-Becker, Cilius Victor•ARTICLE•Journal of Aging Studies•2020•Citada por: 8•Referências: 6

    Contemporary dying involves conditions for which we are unprepared as a society. We seldom address our civic obligations to each other. Few people have discussed their wishes about their preferences in dying and whether and how they want to be accompanied at their death, if possible. This is an invisible constraint of modern healthcare. Because of limited discussions and preparation, these deaths may lead to disenfranchised grief for the mourners…

  • Age and loneliness in 25 European nations

    Open Access•Keming Yang, Cilius Victor•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2011•Citada por: 37•Referências: 38

    The relationship between age and loneliness is intriguing. While loneliness has been widely perceived as a problem of old age, there is evidence suggesting that adolescence is the peak age for experiencing loneliness and there are demonstrable variations between nations in reported rates of loneliness. However, comparative data for examining both the prevalence of loneliness across age groups and across nations are sparse. As the first phase of a…

  • Typologies of loneliness, living alone and social isolation, and their associations with physical and mental health

    The relationship between living alone, loneliness and social isolation, and how they are associated with health remain contentious. We sought to explore typologies based on shared experiences of loneliness, social isolation and living alone using Latent Class Analysis and determine how these groups may differ in terms of their physical and mental health. We used Wave 7 of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (N = 7,032; mean age = 67.3) and r…

    Open Access•P F Higgs, Paul Higgs et al.•ARTICLE•The Sociological Review•2009•Citada por: 19•Referências: 30

    The significance of the UK's ageing population has been generally acknowledged, however its implications for consumption have been neglected. The consumption patterns of older people are important given that the end of the 20th century witnessed profound changes to the nature of later life, many linked to the emergence of 'consumer societies' in the UK and elsewhere. The uneven nature of retirement, as well as the relative affluence of many retir…

    The increasing number of older people within Britain's and, more generally, Europe's ethnic minority communities raises the need for the development of health and social care services which are appropriate to the specific needs and expectations of these older members of the various ethnic minority communities. Within the UK, the Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities can be identified as being in greater need of care and support in older age. Ther…

    Loneliness has been consistently identified as one of the specific ‘social problems’ which accompanies old age and growing older: 90 per cent of the general population of Britain feel that loneliness is a problem associated with old age. There is a widespread presumption that loneliness and isolation have become more prevalent in Britain in the period since the Second World War as a result of the decline in multi-generation households and changes…

    Older people (those aged 65 years and over) are the major users of health care services, especially acute hospital beds. Since the creation of the NHS there has been concern that older people inappropriately occupy acute hospital beds when their needs would be best served by other forms of care. Many factors have been associated with delayed discharge (age, sex, multiple pathology, dependency and administrative inefficiencies). However, many of t…

    Analyses of longitudinal data from the Health and Lifestyles Surveys (HALS) were carried out in order to examine the household changes of older people. Respondents who were interviewed at both the first HALS survey in 1984/85 (HALS1) and the second survey 7 years later (HALS2) and were aged 60 or over in HALS1 were selected (1156). Changes in household composition between the two surveys were examined and the relationship of these changes to soci…

  • Being alone in later life

    Open Access•Cilius Victor, Christina Victor et al.•ARTICLE•Reviews in Clinical Gerontology•2000

    Introduction The context for the review of loneliness and social isolation in later life is that of ‘successful aging’ and ‘quality of life’. The term ‘quality of life‘ includes a broad range of areas of life and there is little agreement about the definition of the term. Models of quality of life range from identification of ‘life satisfaction’ or ‘social wellbeing’ to models based upon concepts of independence, control, and social and cognitive…

  • Older patients and delayed discharge from hospital

    Open Access•Cilius Victor, Christina R Victor et al.•ARTICLE•Health & Social Care in the…•2000•Citada por: 6•Referências: 3

    Older people (those aged 65 years and over) are the major users of health care services, especially acute hospital beds. Since the creation of the NHS there has been concern that older people inappropriately occupy acute hospital beds when their needs would be best served by other forms of care. Many factors have been associated with delayed discharge (age, sex, multiple pathology, dependency and administrative inefficiencies). However, many of t…

  • Has loneliness amongst older people increased? An investigation into variations between cohorts

    Open Access•Cilius Victor, Christina R Victor et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2002•Citada por: 14

    Loneliness has been consistently identified as one of the specific ‘social problems’ which accompanies old age and growing older: 90 per cent of the general population of Britain feel that loneliness is a problem associated with old age. There is a widespread presumption that loneliness and isolation have become more prevalent in Britain in the period since the Second World War as a result of the decline in multi-generation households and changes…

  • The prevalence of, and risk factors for, loneliness in later life

    Open Access•Cilius Victor, Christina R Victor et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2005•Citada por: 48

    This study examines the prevalence of loneliness amongst older people in Great Britain, and makes comparisons with the findings of studies undertaken during the last five decades. In addition, the risk factors for loneliness are examined using a conceptual model of vulnerability and protective factors derived from a model of depression. Loneliness was measured using a self-rating scale, and measures of socio-demographic status and health/social r…

  • Linking questionnaires to primary care records

    Primary care databases provide rich consultation and prescribing information,1 but lack individual background detail. Linking to information from questionnaires can overcome this, but requires individual informed consent.2,3 The generalisability of linked data will be constrained by low consent rates and any differences between those giving and those withholding consent, in addition to any non-response bias. Most studies examining the consent iss…

  • Older People's Experiences of Loneliness in the UK

    Open Access•Cilius Victor, Christina R Victor et al.•ARTICLE•Social Policy and Society•2006•Citada por: 13

    The extent and nature of loneliness in later life does not show a consistent relationship with gender. Our study investigates whether there are differences in the nature and extent of loneliness amongst older men and women in contemporary Britain. Loneliness was measured using a self-report four-point scale in a nationally representative survey of people aged 65+ living in the community. Survey response rate was 77 per cent and the sample of 999 …

  • Less healthy, but more active

    Open Access•Tess Harris, Tess J Harris et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2008

    Physical activity studies on older primary care patients may experience both a strong bias towards participants being more active and a weaker bias towards participants having more health problems and therefore primary care contact. The latter bias could be advantageous for physical activity intervention studies, where those with health problems need targeting

    Compared with the many studies in western countries, research on the prevalence of and risk factors for loneliness amongst older people in China is sparse. This paper reviews the current cross-national literature on loneliness and, using data from two national surveys undertaken in 1992 and 2000, assesses the prevalence of loneliness amongst older people in China and explores the factors that raise their vulnerability to the negative feeling.

    Open Access•P F Higgs, Paul Higgs et al.•ARTICLE•The Sociological Review•2009•Citada por: 19•Referências: 30

    The significance of the UK's ageing population has been generally acknowledged, however its implications for consumption have been neglected. The consumption patterns of older people are important given that the end of the 20th century witnessed profound changes to the nature of later life, many linked to the emergence of 'consumer societies' in the UK and elsewhere. The uneven nature of retirement, as well as the relative affluence of many retir…
