Negative Aging Stereotypes
Negative stereotypes of aging, such as dependency, tend to paint a picture of older adults as frail or a burden on society. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the Fear of Dependency Scale and anxiety and depression, evaluating gender, age, and physical health as moderators. Findings suggest that age moderated the relationship between fear of dependency and depression and anxiety in women, with middle-aged women reporting the hig…
Weaving Together the Voices
This commentary reviews Adams-Price and Morse’s personal reflections of aging, creativity, and culture. They explore the themes of re-imagining creativity in the main paper through their own experiences as experienced jewelry maker and novice fiddler as they examine the role and benefits of creativity on aging individuals. Additionally, they respond to a set of reviewers who offered commentary on their paper
Creativity, aging, context and culture
Despite increasing interest in creative aging, little connection has been made between creative aging research and research and theory on creativity. In part 1 of this paper, we will explain why 20th century psychological concepts of creativity were inadequate to describe the impact of creative participation for older adults, and how those theories promoted stereotypes of aging. In part 2, we discuss theory and research from gerontologists on why…
Age and recognition for one’s creative hobby are associated with fewer depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older adults
Fear of Dependency and Life-Space Mobility as Predictors of Attitudes Toward Assistive Devices in Older Adults
Assistive devices can help older adults remain independent; however, they may hesitate to use them due to fears of appearing dependent by embodying aging stereotypes. Reluctance to use assistive devices may lead to decreased life space mobility. The selective optimization with compensation (SOC) model posits that older adults employ strengths to accommodate for age-related functioning declines. The current study examines the predictive power of h…
Examining Social Connections as a Link Between Religious Participation and Well-being Among Older Adults
Social connections provided through religious participation are associated with subjective well-being in older populations. This study investigated how much of this association can be explained by other social connections, and whether these associations vary by age. A cross-sectional random-sample telephone survey was completed by 1,025 individuals over 55 years of age. The contribution of religious participation was examined using hierarchical m…
Employing All the Carpenter’s Tools
The 10th West Virginia University Life-Span Development Psychology Conference on methodological innovations is reviewed. The emphasis of the conference was upon diversity in methodological and theoretical approaches in the investigation of life-span development. Among the topics presented and discussed were metatheoretical frameworks, survey methods, qualitative data sets, behavior analytic methods, path analysis, multivariate analysis of varianc…
Empathic Resonance and Meryl Streep
We borrow a psychological concept, "empathic resonance," and use the concept as a theory for understanding how audiences react to films or television shows. Specifically, we use empathic resonance to analyze twelve Meryl Streep films in which she was nominated for an Oscar. We explain how empathic resonance functions in Streep's films
A Validity Study of the Positive Psychology Protective Profile
The purpose of this study was to conduct an exploratory factor analysis to provide support for the construct validity of the Positive Psychology Protective Profile, a self-report measure based on positive psychology. 985 undergraduates completed the profile, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the College Life Stress Inventory. Scores on the first two factor scores (Positive Outlook, Negative Symptoms) for the profile correlated significantly with…
