    Abstract: The gerontological literature indicates that both positive and negative relationships are dimensions of intergenerational relationships. Moreover, depending on intergenerational financial support, the association between older parents’ perceived social support and strain from adult children can vary. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the association between intergenerational social support and strain. We also examined the impact of intergenerational financial transfers on intergenerational social support and strain. We analyzed data of 1,329 older adults aged 65 to 84 from the Health and Retirement Study collected at 2006(t1), 2010(t2), and 2014(t3). Cross-lagged panel models were performed to examine the reciprocal association between intergenerational social support and strain over time. Multiple group comparisons were conducted to estimate the impact of financial support exchange on social support and strain from adult children. The results demonstrated that social support and strain from adult children were stable over time. Furthermore, social strain had negative effects on the changes in social support from adult children. Multiple group comparisons suggested that in the parents’ groups (financial support provision vs. no provision to adult children, and financial support receipt vs. no receipt groups from adult children) intergenerational social support and strain were stable over time. Additionally, the impact of social strain on subsequent social support from adult children differed depending on intergenerational financial support. These findings highlight the reciprocal association between intergenerational positive and negative relationships. Further, this research suggests the importance of intergenerational support in older parents’ and adult children’s positive and negative relationship quality.

    Abstract: To address their needs for proactive self-care and end of life planning, we implemented a community based educational program that promotes future care planning (FCP) for community residing older adults. Extension specialists from Iowa State University implemented two brief FCP program sessions with older adults. Topics included both short-term and long-term future care planning activities and strategies. Baseline and post program surveys were completed by 216 community dwelling older adults (M=78.21). The program was successful in getting older Iowans in the rural area start end of life care preparation as well as helping them to make changes in their health care decisions. The majority of participants (89.6 %) reported high satisfaction with the programs. We also found a high rate of change (62%) in opinion regarding future care. The implication of future care planning for is discussed with recommendations for future research.

    Abstract: Research has shown that perceived discriminations impact physical and mental health in later life. Discrimination experiences could make older adults consider themselves as a social misfit and decrease their social interactions, which finally increases their loneliness. Religious behaviors has been reported as a key factor of a lower sense of isolation. Considering that religious behaviors provide opportunities to engage in more extensive social networks and have supportive social ties with community members, attending religious services might decrease the impact of older adults’ perceived discrimination on loneliness. The current research aims to examine the moderating role of religious services attendance in the association between older adults’ perceived discrimination and loneliness. We used data of 4,488 adults aged 50 to 80 (M=66.27, SD=10.15) from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) collected in 2012 and 2014. Linear regression analysis was performed to investigate whether older adults’ religious service attendance might decrease the impact of their perceived discriminations in daily life on the level of loneliness. The results indicated that more perceived discriminations older adults face on a daily basis were significantly associated with higher levels of loneliness. However, participants who frequently attended religious services showed a lower impact of perceived discriminations on their loneliness. These findings highlight the positive effects of engaging in religious activities on discriminated older adults’ social well-being. These findings also emphasize the role of the religious community as a social resource for socially marginalized older adults.

    Abstract: Older adults’ mental and physical health is likely to limit social engagement, but their perception of how much time they have left, according to the socio-emotional selectivity theory, might influence it as well. The aim of the research is to investigate the mediating effect of subjective life expectancy (SLE) on the pathways from older adults’ mental health and functional limitation to volunteering and contacts with close relationships. The current research used data of 5,285 older adults aged 50 to 75 from the Health and Retirement Study collected in 2014. Structural equation modeling was performed to investigate the direct effect of older adults’ depressive symptoms and functional limitation on volunteering and contact with close relationships. Predictors’ indirect effects via SLE was also assessed. The results indicated that older adults’ higher depressive symptoms and functional limitations significantly decreased volunteering time and frequency of contacts with close relationships. Older adults’ SLE attenuated the effects of depressive symptoms and functional limitations on their volunteering time and frequency of contact with close relationships. The findings describe the mechanism of how older adults engage in volunteering and contact with close relationships through their perception of remaining time. Further, this research highlights SLE as a motivator for encouragement of older adults’ social engagement.
