Empty Confidant Network Satisfaction and Mental Well-Being After the Age of 50
This study aimed to examine the relationship between empty confidant network satisfaction and loneliness and depression. Theories of aggression and the stress and coping theory served as the study's theoretical framework. Data were obtained from Waves 8 and 9 of the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe. The sample included adults aged 50 years and older with no confidants in their personal networks (Wave 8: N = 1,138; Wave 9: N = 1,…
Loneliness patterns and sleep problems after the initial outbreak of Covid-19
The study addressed the relationship between loneliness and sleep deficits after the COVID-19 outbreak. We tested associations between patterns of loneliness before and after the outbreak [stable, improved, and worsened] and sleep quality outcomes: 1) having a sleep problem after the initial outbreak, and 2) change in sleep quality. Data were drawn from two data collection points in the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (Wave 8 and…
The second empty nest
Alone in the shadow of terror
Continuous traumatic situations (CTS) caused by prolonged exposure to terrorist threat can harm individuals' mental and physical health. For older adults living alone in CTS, this risk joins the challenges of aging and loneliness, creating a triple vulnerability. No previous research has explored this particular vulnerability and specifically addressed the coping strategies and internal resources used by older adults to manage these stressful cir…

Social Network Type and Subjective Well-being in a National Sample of Older Americans
PURPOSE: The study considers the social networks of older Americans, a population for whom there have been few studies of social network type. It also examines associations between network types and well-being indicators: loneliness, anxiety, and happiness. DESIGN AND METHODS: A subsample of persons aged 65 years and older from the first wave of the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project was employed (N = 1,462). We applied K-means clust…
Situational versus chronic loneliness as risk factors for all-cause mortality
BACKGROUND: Several international studies have substantiated the role of loneliness as a risk factor for mortality. Although both theoretical and empirical research has supported the classification of loneliness as either situational or chronic, research to date has not evaluated whether this classification has a differential impact upon mortality. METHODS: To establish the definition of situational vs. chronic loneliness, we used three waves of …
The Role of Social Relationships in Predicting Loneliness
The authors explore associations between objective and subjective social network characteristics and loneliness in later life, using data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project, a nationally representative sample of individuals ages 57 to 85 in the United States. Hierarchical linear regression was used to examine the associations between measures of objective and subjective social network characteristics and their importance in …
The Experience of Loneliness among Live-In Filipino Homecare Workers in Israel
This paper evaluates the experience of loneliness among Filipino homecare workers in Israel. It is expected that Filipino homecare workers in Israel experience a triple jeopardy that is responsible for their social and emotional loneliness: (i) as a result of their immigration to a different country and the need to adjust to different cultural values and norms while relinquishing existing social contacts in country of origin, (ii) as a result of …

Quality of Life and Psychological Health Indicators in the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project
The modified indices used in NSHAP tended to exhibit good internal reliability and concurrent validity. These measures can confidently be used in the exploration of QoL and psychological health in later life and its many correlates
Assessment of Smoking Behaviors and Alcohol Use in the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project
NSHAP provides data useful for investigation of smoking and alcohol use and their association with health and social factors
Network Type and Mortality Risk in Later Life
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the association of baseline network type and 7-year mortality risk in later life. DESIGN AND METHODS: We executed secondary analysis of all-cause mortality in Israel using data from a 1997 national survey of adults aged 60 and older (N=5,055) that was linked to records from the National Death Registry up to 2004. We considered six network types--diverse, friend focused, neighbor focused, family fo…
The association between activity and wellbeing in later life
This paper reports a study of the complex associations between older people's participation in activities and their wellbeing in later life using data from a national sample of 1,334 Jewish-Israeli retirees. Confirmatory factor analysis substantiated a division of the activities into solitary, formal and informal categories, as postulated by activity theory. The outcome measure, the latent construct wellbeing, was compiled from scores on the 12-i…
