Abstract:

In recent years, mainly in developed countries, there has been a significant increase in healthy lifespans as a result of advances in healthcare. For older adults, learning is important in improving their quality of life. However, previous research on lifelong learning for older adults has not covered science subjects, including astronomy, as learning subjects. Thus, this study investigates the contribution of astronomy to the needs of today’s older adult learners. Based on the findings, and contrary to classical studies about learning for older adults based on research in the 1970s, pre

Objectives: The need for informal caregiving has been rapidly increasing across several countries.

Abstract. This paper explores the impact of growing up with an older adult in the home on one’s attitudes toward older adults. We surveyed 309 participants for their opinions on older adults, whether they grew up living with an older adult, and whether the older adult they lived with was ill. Those who grew up with an older adult had significantly lower opinions of the elderly but had less anxiety around their own aging process. This negative impact of contact seemed especially pronounced if the older adult was ill. Results indicate that although contact in and of itself can have a positive be

Thematic analysis was employed using comparisons across groups of interviewees (older adults and adult children) and waves of interviews (up to three waves) to identify core categories of meaning.

Abstract Many older adults in the U.S. do not live with adult children but have at least one adult child living nearby. Help from adult children is vital for supporting the health and well-being of older adults. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to maintain physical distancing and the fear of infection may cause disruptions in older adults’ activities of daily living but the extent to which nonresident adult children provide help with household tasks is largely unknown.

Yet, geriatric specialization remains largely absent in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Tanzania.

Abstract Recognizing the central role of family-oriented values in Chinese culture, developing a family-based understanding of health and wellbeing in Chinese Americans is imperative. By linking two unique population-based datasets (one on Chinese older adults, and another on their corresponding adult children caregivers), the purpose of this symposium is to present interactive analyses of dyad-level data to achieve an interpersonal understanding of health outcomes of Chinese older adults and their adult children within the family context. Data were obtained from 807 Chinese older adults-adult

Abstract:

The increasing older adult population has implications for the training and practice of counseling psychologists because of the field's avowed dedication to lifespan development. The present study examined the degree to which older adults were represented in articles in the Journal of Counseling Psychology and The Counseling Psychologist from 1991 to 2000. Several issues were examined: age-based characteristics of samples reported, changes in these characteristics over time, whether articles including multiple studies involved older participants, and degree of attention to older adults in theo

Abstract This study examined the association between age and barriers for disaster preparation in the U.S., including the moderating effect of caring for an elderly person. Using a sample of 1147 individuals from the 2017 FEMA National Household Survey, we tested age as the key predictor, which had four groups: 18-44 (young age), 45-64 (middle age), 65-74 (young-old), and 75+ (old-old). Binomial logistic regression was conducted to investigate how age and the responsibility to take care of an older adult affected the likelihood of having preparation barriers, controlling for respondents’ gende

Abstract:

Abstract Older adults commonly lose functional ability during a hospital stay, often cause by limited ambulation. This phenomenon has been identified globally as a hospital associated disability (HAD). Multiple barriers related to how care is delivered in hospitals have been identified that prevent hospital staff from getting patients up to walk. Only recently have studies explored other factors that may prevent or influence whether older patients ambulate, including older adults’ experiences and perceptions of in-hospital ambulation, the impact of patient and or family caregiver attitudes on

Abstract:

Abstract The purpose of this qualitative content analysis was to explore the experiences and perceived benefits for older adult members who participated in an intergenerational rock band (IGRB) pairing older adults with college students. Participants (n = 29) were first-time older adult IGRB members who completed semi-structured interviews over the course of 5 years. Interviews were completed within 1 week of the conclusion of the semester-long participation in the IGRB. Each interview was digitally recorded, manually transcribed, and analyzed using an iterative approach to thematic analysis.

Abstract:

Abstract There is an age-based double standard in how we evaluate memory failures by younger and older adults. Whereas younger adults’ forgetfulness is attributed to lack of effort or attention, older adults’ forgetfulness is attributed to lack of ability. Our goal was to replicate this phenomenon, and evaluate its links to benevolent and hostile ageism. To do so, we used a vignette paradigm in which younger and older participants read about a target person (who was a younger or older woman) who left a store without paying for a ring (which varied in price). Results showed that participants we

Positive psychology has recently developed a classification of human strengths (Peterson & Seligman, in press). We aimed to evaluate these strengths by investigating the strengths and life satisfaction in three adult samples recruited from the community (young adult, middle-aged, and older adult), as well as in the surviving men of the Grant study of Harvard graduates. In general, older adults had higher levels of interpersonal and self-regulatory strengths, whereas younger adults reported higher levels of strengths related to exploring the world.

Abstract:

Abstract Approximately 12-18% of family caregivers to older adults in the U.S. are 18-25 years old (i.e., emerging adulthood), yet minimal research has focused on this subgroup of caregivers (Levine, 2005; Smyth, Blaxland, & Cass, 2011). Individuals’ perceptions of an older adult’s social role relate to their attitudes toward older adults as a group (Hummert, 1999; Kite & Wagner, 2002). However, whether perceptions that emerging adult caregivers hold of older adults are specific to the social role of “care-recipient” has not been studied.
