Interpersonal associations in mental health outcomes of people living with ALS, caregivers, and dyads
There is a significant mental health burden among individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and their caregivers. However, limited literature exists on how ALS caregiver-recipient dyad relationships may affect mental health outcomes. The Care Interactions in ALS study is a mixed-method project exploring people with ALS and their caregivers’ care experiences. Quantitative analysis analyzed survey responses from 33 linked caregivers and …
We are left alone”
The aging population in the South Asian region is rapidly growing, prompting a rising need to understand the subjective mental wellbeing of older adults. Aging and life satisfaction are complex processes that are experienced differently in various sociocultural contexts. However, few studies have investigated mechanisms of life satisfaction in rural environments in low- and middle-income countries that face challenges that cannot be measured by e…
How Cannabis Use is Associated with the Physical and Mental Health of Older Adults
Cannabis use (CU) is increasing among adults aged ≥ 50. Yet, its effects on mental and physical health remain understudied. We investigated the association between CU and physical and mental health among adults aged ≥ 50. Using data from the 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, Marijuana Use module, we included 55,108 individuals aged ≥ 50 through weighted descriptive and multivariable multinomial logistic regression analyses. Finding…
Empathy and psychological outcomes in informal caregivers of community-dwelling older adults
Associations Between Internalized HIV Stigma and Cognitive Function Among Older Women With HIV
Objectives Internalized HIV stigma refers to the negative beliefs, feelings, and attitudes that people with HIV (PWH) adopt about themselves due to societal HIV stigma. Internalized HIV stigma negatively affects mental health but less is known about this factor on cognitive function in PWH. This study examines associations between internalized HIV stigma and cognition among women aged 50+ with HIV. Methods Internalized HIV stigma was measured in …
Trajectories of Purpose in Life Across Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease or Related Dementias in Older Adulthood
Objectives: Sense of purpose serves as a psychological resource for late-life health. Limited research has examined how purpose changes across chronic illness diagnoses, including a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Method: This study leverages data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS; N = 831) to establish trajectories of purpose across ADRD diagnosis using three-year (pre-diagnosis, year of diagno…
Associations Between Attachment and Depressive Symptoms Among Older Adults Living With Early-Stage Cognitive Impairment and Their Adult Children
Psychosocial interventions that incorporate attachment theory as a framework may benefit parent-child dyads coping with dementia
Implicit and explicit dehumanization of older family members
Elder abuse affects one in six older persons globally. Three limitations impede progress in prevention: most research is victim- rather than perpetrator-based; the reliance on explicit, self-reported factors; and failure to account for psychological factors, such as dehumanization, that motivate abuse. The current study addressed these gaps by examining whether implicit and explicit dehumanization of t could explain elder abuse proclivity. In a w…
Social participation and marital satisfaction in mid to late life marriage
Objectives Research shows that social participation is beneficial for overall health and well-being. Yet, no research to our knowledge has examined whether social participation is associated with greater marital satisfaction in middle-aged and older couples. We hypothesized that middle-aged and older adults would have greater marital satisfaction when their spouse engaged in social groups because there would be greater opportunity for self-expans…
The Future of Women in Psychological Science
There has been extensive discussion about gender gaps in representation and career advancement in the sciences. However, psychological science itself has yet to be the focus of discussion or systematic review, despite our field’s investment in questions of equity, status, well-being, gender bias, and gender disparities. In the present article, we consider 10 topics relevant for women’s career advancement in psychological science. We focus on issu…
Patterns of Caregiving Among Older Adults With and Without Dementia
Care types can help us understand sources of heterogeneity in caregiving and effectively target caregiver support services and interventions
A Controlled Pilot Study of the Wish Outcome Obstacle Plan Strategy for Spouses of Persons With Early-Stage Dementia
WOOP is a promising, brief intervention to improve dementia CPs' well-being that may also positively affect their partners with dementia
Family Caregiving for Older Adults
Family members are the primary source of support for older adults with chronic illness and disability. Thousands of published empirical studies and dozens of reviews have documented the psychological and physical health effects of caregiving, identified caregivers at risk for adverse outcomes, and evaluated a wide range of intervention strategies to support caregivers. Caregiving as chronic stress exposure is the conceptual driver for much of thi…
Spousal Influences on Monthly Disability in Late-Life Marriage in the Precipitating Events Project
Incorporating a spouse's current disability level in modeling older adults' subsequent disability provides additional predictive information. Wives with greater disability may be at a particularly high risk of accelerated decline when their husbands have greater disability
Their Happiness Is My Happiness”--- Chinese Visiting Grandparents Grandparenting in the US
This study described the experiences of Chinese visiting grandparents caring for their grandchildren in the US and the implications of these experiences for grandparents’ well-being. We used a parallel mixed-method design. Qualitative interviews and structured surveys were conducted simultaneously and compared after analysis was complete. Thirty-five grandparents in New Haven, CT were surveyed, and thirteen of them completed in-depth interviews. …
The impact of both spousal caregivers' and care recipients' health on relationship satisfaction in the Caregiver Health Effects Study
This study examined, with a sample of older adult, caregiving couples, whether each spouse's health was associated with their own and their partner's relationship satisfaction. Dyads ( n = 233; age = 64-99 years) in the Caregiver Health Effects Study, ancillary to the Cardiovascular Health Study, reported relationship satisfaction, depressive symptoms, disability, and self-reported health. The cross-sectional Actor-Partner Interdependence Model s…
Informal Care Networks in the Context of Multimorbidity
These findings reveal how increasing morbidity translates differently to care network size and diversity for men and women. They also suggest that having multiple caregivers may undermine the psychological well-being of care recipients who face complex health challenges
Retirement as Meaningful
Studies examining the association between retirement and health have produced mixed results. This may be due to previous studies treating retirement as merely a change in job status rather than a transition associated with stereotypes or societal beliefs (e.g., retirement is a time of mental decline or retirement is a time of growth). To examine whether these stereotypes are associated with health, we studied retirement stereotypes and survival o…
Reactivity to a Spouse’s Interpersonal Suffering in Late Life Marriage
Spouses' interpersonal suffering may negatively affect both men and women's cardiovascular health, and older husbands may be particularly affected
To Love is to Suffer
Marital satisfaction can increase daily emotional contagion to spousal suffering among older couples dealing with chronic conditions. Wives' distress may be more dependent on perceiving high levels of partner suffering compared with husbands' distress
Attachment orientation and reactions to anxiety expression in close relationships
This study examined perceptions, interpretations, and emotional reactions to a close partner's anxiety expression as mediators for the association between attachment orientation and caregiving effectiveness. One member of married or dating couples was exposed to a stressor and unobtrusively observed while interacting with his or her partner. Results revealed that anxious attachment was related to higher perceptions of partners' anxiety expression…
Why Do Men Benefit More from Marriage Than Do Women? Thinking More Broadly About Interpersonal Processes That Occur Within and Outside of Marriage
Spouses' Cardiovascular Reactivity to Their Partners' Suffering
A laboratory study of older adults with osteoarthritis and their spouses was conducted to examine the unique influence of exposure to suffering on caregivers' risk for impaired psychological and physical health. Spouses' blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were monitored during 2 tasks designed to capture their partners' suffering. First, spouses watched their partners (and a stranger) carry heavy logs across an 8-ft space for 3 min, a task t…
Attachment insecurity and perceived partner suffering as predictors of personal distress
Willingness to express emotions to caregiving spouses
This study examined the association between care-recipients' willingness to express emotions to spousal caregivers and caregiver's well-being and support behaviors. Using self-report measures in the context of a larger study, 262 care-recipients with osteoarthritis reported on their willingness to express emotions to caregivers, and caregivers reported on their stress and insensitive responding to care-recipients. Results revealed that care-recip…
