Physical, psychological, and social factors related to help-seeking preferences among older adults living in a community
Older adults who are struggling with mental health may have a high desire for help but also a high level of resistance to help, which may discourage them from requesting assistance. This suggests the importance of professionals' outreach. Further, the results indicate the importance of fostering social capital in the community

Generativity is defined as an individual's concern for and actions dedicated toward the well-being of others, especially youth and subsequent generations. It is a key stage of psychological development from midlife to older age and can be a guiding concept for promoting engagement of older adults in productive and contributive activities, which benefit their well-being.

Social work for vulnerable and marginalized people during Covid ‐19 in Japan
During the Coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID‐19), working conditions became increasingly difficult for social workers, as they had to deal with new challenges and added workloads. This study describes the difficulties faced by social workers of the Self‐Reliance Support System in Japan and clarifies the solution for each difficulty while conducting their duties to support vulnerable people during COVID‐19. To this end, we conducted an open‐ende…
Suicide Prevention Program with Cooperation from Senior Volunteers, Governments, and Schools
As a suicide countermeasure for young people, implementing "SOS output education" that provides young people with opportunities and approaches to seeking support with community cooperation can be expected to reduce lifelong suicide risk. We implemented an "SOS output education" for junior high school students with cooperation from educators, government staff, and older people working as community volunteers. A total of 188 students were allocated…
Psychological Factors That Suppress Help-Seeking among Middle-Aged and Older Adults Living Alone
Help-seeking among destitute adults has not been adequately investigated. Therefore, this study clarifies the mechanisms that suppress help-seeking in middle-aged and older adults living alone. Data were collected from 1274 individuals (aged 50-79 years) who were living alone, using a survey that measured future time perspective, barriers to help-seeking, help-seeking intentions, and current and childhood economic statuses. Men living alone exper…
Influence of “Face-to-Face Contact” and “Non-Face-to-Face Contact” on the Subsequent Decline in Self-Rated Health and Mental Health Status of Young, Middle-Aged, and Older Japanese Adults
This study aims to identify the independent influence of face-to-face contact (FFC) and non-face-to-face contact (NFFC) on the subsequent decline in self-rated health and mental health status by age. A total of 12,000 participants were randomly selected among residents in the study area, and 1751 of them responded to both the 2016 and 2018 mail surveys. The participants were subsequently classified into three age groups (25-49: Young adults; 50-6…

Effects of Participating in Intergenerational Programs on the Development of High School Students’ Self-Efficacy
This study aimed to examine the effects of intergenerational programs on high school students’ development of self-efficacy. We used a quasi-experimental ex-post facto design with several follow-ups and conducted a questionnaire survey with 236 high school students. Results showed that the self-efficacy of students who experienced community activities increased over time after the intergenerational programs. Conversely, self-efficacy for students…
How Single Older Men Reach Poverty and Its Relationship with Help‐Seeking Preferences 1
This study aimed to clarify patterns of poverty among single older men and examine this population's help‐seeking preferences. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 83 older single men in poverty. Three main patterns of poverty were identified: lifelong, job turnover, and retirement. A common characteristic among these patterns indicated that they did not recognize their difficulties as problems. Furthermore, we identified five groups of…
Social Contact with Family and Non-Family Members Differentially Affects Physical Activity
Contacting friends/neighbors did not predict the change in PA, and a high frequency of contact with family/relatives at baseline and increasing contact with family/relatives was associated with increased PA over 5-year
The impact of intergenerational programs on social capital in Japan
The ongoing intergenerational programs between older citizens and children can enforce neighborhood trust, thus strengthening a community's intergenerational ties. The REPRINTS program has been developed through cooperation with local citizens, senior volunteers, and teachers from the community. Its collaborative nature ensures longevity and continuous growth in a community. It is challenging to create long-term intergenerational programs that ta…
