Male Patients and Their Male Caregivers (DRAFT)
There is a dearth of literature on male-to-male caregiving relationships generally and almost none specific to cancer. Some prior studies have included male caregivers and/or male care recipients, but they have rarely separated out male–male dyads for analysis. Thus, without access to much research specific to male–male caregiving for cancer, this chapter draws on related and relevant literature, such as that on men caring for men with AIDS and i…

The relationship of coping strategies, social support, and attachment style with posttraumatic growth in cancer survivors
This cross-sectional study investigated attachment style, coping strategies, social support, and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in 54 cancer survivors. Secure attachment was significantly associated with active coping, positive reframing, and religion, and these were all associated with PTG. Insecure types of attachment and social support variables were unrelated to PTG. Regression analysis suggests that positive reframing and religion as coping stra…
Paying Project Participants
This paper presents a case study about issues that can arise in research with marginalized populations. We use our experiences during a focus group conducted with low-income men to discuss how using monetary incentives can lead to ethical and methodological dilemmas, including participants' misrepresentation of their demographic backgrounds to match study criteria. We address difficulties caused by the Institutional Review Board process' inabilit…
Aging, Health, and GLBTQ Family and Community Life
Older GLBTQ persons face many age-related challenges and opportunities. Some are shared with their heterosexual counterparts, while others more specifically relate to their GLBTQ status. These occur in the contexts of their personal lives, families, social networks, and community and social milieu. One major challenge is health. This article describes a range of issues at the interface of aging, GLBTQ status, family, community, and well-being rel…
Positive and Negative Health Behavior Changes in Cancer Survivors
Cancer survivors often make health behavior changes in response to their increased risk for subsequent health problems. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying these changes or whether they differ for positive and negative changes. This cross-sectional study applied a stress and coping model to examine both positive and negative health behavior changes in 250 middle-aged cancer survivors. A structural equation model showed that s…
Social Comparison Processes in Autobiographies of Adult Cancer Survivors
Cancer survivors often compare their situations to other survivors' situations. However, types of social comparison processes used and resulting outcomes are not clearly delineated. This study explores usage and consequences of three social comparison styles (downward, upward and parallel) of adult cancer survivors in free narratives, using content analysis of 30 autobiographical books by survivors ranging in age from 30-70 ( M = 54, SD = 10.04);…
