The Structure of Subjective Well-Being in Different Age Groups

Data on three sets of measures from two cross-sections of American adults were analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis. Findings indicate that for respondents of age levels between 25 and 75, the nature of the underlying factors are similar. At the same time, small age differences are observed for the variance of and the interrelationships between these factors.

Interviewing Older Adults: the Accuracy of Factual Information

Some types of information, including birth date and make and year of car, were reported accurately by most respondents, whereas frequent errors were detected for other types of information, including voting behavior, house value, and characteristics of neighbors. Comparisons were made with respect to the relative accuracy of the reports of respondents in three age groups: younger than 60, 60 through 69, and 70 or older. For many measures, no age differences were detected, and for those where age differences were observed, the older respondents were sometimes more accurate than the younger respondents. The potential consequences of measurement error are serious. Evidence to date, however, does not indicate consistently that these problems are any more serious for older respondents than for any other age group.

The aim of the CogUSA Study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a variety of tests in assessing cognitive skills on a sample mirroring the Health and Retirement Survey (HRS) (ICPSR 6854). Data were derived in three waves, with each wave utilizing a variety of measures. In Waves 1 and 3, these measures included an adaptive number series test. The Woodcock-Johnson (WJ-III) number series test and the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) were used in Wave 2. Waves 1 and 3 were conducted as telephone interviews, while Wave 2 was conducted as an in-person interview. This collection includes indicators of cognitive abilities and functioning as well as a variety of demographic, health, and economic variables.

Depression, faith-based coping, and short-term postoperative global functioning in adult and older patients undergoing cardiac surgery

We recruited 481 patients (male, 58%; mean age=62 years, range=35-89) 2 weeks before surgery for three sequential psychosocial interviews using standardized instruments. Of them, 426 completed the second interview, and 335 completed the postoperative follow-up. Multiple regression analyses showed that depression predicted poor SPGF, controlling for age, preoperative illness impact, and two noncardiac chronic conditions. Preoperative positive religious coping contributed to better SPGF, controlling for preoperative depression and other confounders. However, postoperatively assessed prayer coping was associated with poor SPGF. Research should distinguish the longitudinal protection of generally adaptive faith-based coping styles from the increased usage of such coping for immediate distress, mobilized by crisis.

Faith Factors and Internal Health Locus of Control in Patients Prior to Open-heart Surgery

Based on a review of different relationships of perceived control, spiritual surrender and faith factors in the liberation, we assumed a multivariate association among them. Using data from two sequential interviews and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons’ Adult Cardiac Database, we tested these associations in a final sample of 202 middle-aged and older patients undergoing open-heart surgery. Primary findings from two-step multiple regression analyses supported hierarchical multi-faceted hypotheses. Greater internal control was positively associated with private prayer for coping, an event-specific, ‘vicarious’ control strategy, but negatively related to subjective religiosity, general faith measure controlling for other confounders, especially cardiac-significant ones.

Effects of faith and secular factors on locus of control in middle-aged and older cardiac patients

Different from general expectancy, internal control was conceptualized as event-specific self-efficacy. Both control and faith are multidimensional phenomena and affect an individual's health and wellbeing. Yet, how faith and secular factors (e.g., demographic variables) are jointly related to personal control of patients in the face of medical crises remains empirically under-examined. Based on a comprehensive review of different aspects of perceived personal control, spiritual surrender, and faith factors, we presumed a multivariate association among them. Using data from two sequential interviews and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons' Adult Cardiac Database, the study examined the association between these faith factors and different health loci of control among 224 middle-aged and older patients 1 day prior to major cardiac surgery. Primary findings from multiple regression analyses generally supported our hypotheses. Greater internal control was positively related to using private prayer for coping, an event-specific ''vicarious'' control strategy, but negatively related to subjective religiosity, a general faith measure, after controlling for effects of other secular factors, especially cardiac-significant ones. Several factors in the medical history affected different loci of control. Older age and minority status were associated with greater external control.

Data from several large, mostly national, surveys of American adults were utilized. The results showed an increase in satisfaction with housing, community, work, and, somewhat less consistently, with finances/income, standard of living, and leisure/spare time. The increase was less clear for family, marriage, friends, and global well-being. Various explanations for the relationship were tested by multiple regression procedures, using two national surveys. Higher religiosity of the aged, increased desire to respond in a socially acceptable manner, and a lessening of change in life conditions appear to contribute to higher satisfaction. Although these factors individually represent only partial explanations, a combination of them accounts for a substantial part of the relationship. On the other hand, certain aspects of older people's lives are actually worse and, as such, suppress an even more substantial association between age and satisfactions.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/69104/2/10.1177_016402758132002.pd
