 ▼ Self-reported psychological distress is quite common in the Swedish elderly population. Feelings of psychological distress may have devastating consequences. The overall aim of this study was to explore associations between socioeconomic position and work complexity during midlife with psychological distress in old age. Ordered logistic regression was used to investigate the associations between, (I) socioeconomic position during midlife and psychological distress in old age, (II) work complexity during midlife and psychological distress in old age, (III) the association between socioeconomic position and psychological distress independent of work complexity, and (IV) the association between work complexity and psychological distress independent of socioeconomic position. The results show that (I) higher socioeconomic position during midlife is associated with less psychological distress in old age (II) higher work complexity during midlife is associated with less psychological distress in old age, and that (III) higher work complexity is associated to less psychological distress independent of socioeconomic position, (IV) but the association between socioeconomic position and psychological distress diminishes adjusting for work complexity. The main conclusion from this study is that individuals with high socioeconomic position benefits from both their position in society and from their working conditions while individuals of lower socioeconomic position are more likely to also suffer the drawbacks of disadvantageous working conditions in relation to late life psychological distress.

 ▼ This dissertation examines non-retirees’ financial expectations and plans for retirement and compares them to those of current retirees. Outcomes included financial knowledge, retirement age, anticipated sources of income in retirement, age financial preparations were initiated, and the propensity to save. A model of financial planning was tested from a life-course framework, which outlined how social structural, work, family, personal, and income variables predict the expectation and planning outcomes. The life-course model also considered how socio-historical circumstances may have differentially shaped the retirement plans of six cohorts. Data were collected with mailed surveys from 404 randomly selected individuals living in the Cleveland, Ohio area. Respondents were between the ages of 19 and 96 and had wide ranging labor force experiences, financial resources, and retirement plans. While many young people in particular expressed low levels of confidence in the future viability of the Social Security system, a majority of all age groups anticipate they will rely heavily on Social Security income in retirement. The youngest cohorts, however, are more likely than Baby Boomers and current retirees to expect to rely largely on their own assets in retirement. Three-quarters of respondents have begun making financial preparations for retirement, including over half of the respondents in their twenties, suggesting retirement planning is a long-term process. Results demonstrate that many young people have initiated their financial retirement plans early in life, which contrasts the experiences of most current retirees. Income and education were the most highly predictive of retirement preparations. Gender differences in outcomes were largely indirect via measures of work experiences and family composition and responsibilities, with the exception of financial knowledge. Men scored significantly higher than women on the financial knowledge scale. This research highlights the value of considering younger adults in studies of retirement planning and the need to improve people’s financial knowledge. Study findings are considered within the context of the shifting emphasis in U.S. society on individual responsibility for later-life income, given the escalating costs of the Social Security system and because the large cohort of Baby Boomers are approaching retirement age.

 ▼ In this study I explore boundary work processes that older adults do which influences friendships among residents of a progressive care retirement community. Accounts of boundary work as mechanisms for including some and excluding other residents as potential friends were collected by using a combination of quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews from residents (age 65+) of a progressive care retirement community in the United States. First, a survey explored symbolic boundaries related to cultural capital, defined as music and leisure interest and participation, as well as structural and social aspects of friendships among residents (N=66). Second, in-depth interviews of a sub-sample of residents of an assisted living facility within the community (N=15), were conducted to examine older adultsâ narratives of how they use cultural capital as a mechanism of symbolic boundary work that influences their friendships with others in the retirement community. The administrator of the assisted living facility (N=1) was also interviewed. Findings from this study suggested that cultural capital was associated with sociability which offers some support for the relational â tool kitâ model of the theory. However, findings from in-depth interviews suggested that while music and leisure interests and participation may be important, valuations of bodies were more likely to influence â otheringâ of residents, although the two are related. This study enriches our understanding of how symbolic boundary use varies by group and context, as well as makes theoretical contributions to the literature on symbolic boundaries by exploring the ways in which aging may alter the use of boundaries.

 ▼ Two vital American social institutions, education and health care, are intimately related. The individual-level relationship between education and health is tenuous, changing over time, throughout the life course, and across generations. Previous research in this area does not separate the mediating effects of age, period, and cohort or assess the unique effects of various levels of educational attainment on health. Using longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, this dissertation untangles these factors to find that education has become a more important predictor of health now than twenty years ago, education benefits health across the life course, and college education is necessary for good health in recent generations whereas high school education was a more important predictor of health in earlier generations. From a theoretical standpoint, this study illustrates the need for a more prominent theory to explain the changing nature of the education and health relationship. Methodologically, results suggest that longitudinal analysis is a superior technique to cross-sectional analysis, as the effects of education on health are suppressed in cross-sectional analyses. From a policy standpoint, findings indicate that one viable solution to decreasing health disparities is improved access to education, rather than improved access to physicians, which is the dominant solution in todays society.

 ▼ Recent economic and cultural shifts have yielded an ambivalent developmental phase in the life course known as, “emerging adulthood.” This phase is a period for exploring one's identity before accepting adult responsibilities and there has been a marked postponement of those responsibilities. Economic forces are pushing today's youth to pursue a college education and changing sexual mores have permitted planning for parenthood, thus delaying entry into the work force as well as childbearing. To contribute to the understanding of emerging adulthood, I explore the social dimensions of age identity among both undergraduate and graduate students in a public university. Rather than approaching age as the number of years one has lived, I conceptualize age as a social construction imbued with responsibilities, norms, and rites of passage. These milestones include: 1) completing one's education, 2) workforce entry, 3) leaving the parental home, 4) marriage, and 5) parenthood. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of the social dimensions of age during emerging adulthood, I employ a mixed methods approach. Applying quantitative methods facilitates statistical testing of a model of social age. Using robust regression, I model social age as a function of the number of challenges one has faced. I find support for this hypothesis, but this relationship is no longer significant in a model that also controls for other aspects of age identity. I also hypothesize that respondents in chronologically older subsamples will have more variability in their accomplishments of the adulthood markers than respondents in younger subsamples. Standard deviations provide support for this hypothesis . Qualitative data, collected as open-ended survey responses, illustrate what interests and activities characterize respondents' personal age (that is, how old one feels) as well as the criteria by which personal age is judged (also known as other-perceived age). I find that, overall, upperclassmen and graduate students have more in common with each other than they do with freshmen in terms of their personal age and in how they believe others judge their age. For example, upperclassmen and graduate students tend to cite the markers of adulthood more often than freshmen in terms of defining their personal age. In addition, freshmen tend to cite character traits as criteria for other-perceived age while the two older subsamples tend to cite behaviors. The study has implications for the parents and institutions that socialize and orient youths toward young adulthood in this transitional phase. Advisors/Committee Members: Irena Stepanikova.

 ▼ Drawing on previous literature in cultural gerontology, ageism and age relations, and cultural appropriation this study analyzes the recent grannyhair trend on instagram. Recently, younger women have been coloring their hair combinations of white, silver, and gray and posting images of their style on instagram with thegrannyhair designation. In this study we use an intersectional approach to age and gender relations to explore this phenomenon. Previous studies show that women's behaviors and presentations of aging are policed by cultural standards of age-appropriate appearance and performance, particularly in regards to their hair. Qualitative content analysis of #grannyhair images are examined to assess the extent of age-based stereotypes and policing of age-appropriate behavior and appearance. This study found that instagram users engaged in this trend did not challenge age relations. Rather, boundaries of age-appropriate behaviors enacted in the #grannyhair trend are largely set by younger users. The ways in which young users utilize ageist stereotypes as a way to emphasize the contrast between their stylistic choices and their status as young attractive women framed the #grannyhair trend as one of appropriation. That is, young women adopted gray, white, and silver hair as a cultural symbol and changed its original meaning as a marker of old age. Conversations among both young and old instagram users echoing previous literature that details the contentious relationships old women have with their aging bodies, and hair specifically.

 ▼ In this thesis I have investigated the process of self-schematic transformation that has been argued that offenders undergo in order to desist from crime. In this thesis I have used narrative interviews with twelve desisting offenders consisting of five non-violent offenders and seven violent offenders. I have analysed these narratives using a social cognitive perspective in order to seek an understanding of the self-schemas of the offenders. The results show that the desistance is the result of a longer process and the turning point experienced by the participants were the high point of this process. Social influences were highly important for both groups. Both groups were low in agency, with the exception to their new selves and the desisting process; still, the violent offenders were somewhat higher than the non-violent offenders. In general both groups used outside sources to explain their past crimes and substance abuse, though the violent offenders did this in less extent. Further, the analysis showed that the self-schema of the desisting offenders could be divided into three parts; the former self, the true self, and the new self, or who they used to be, who they have always been, and who they are now. The degree to which the offenders expressed these different selves varied between the two groups.

 ▼ The pre-retirement cohort (45-65 years) that migrates within Aotearoa New Zealand remains largely ignored in social research. This cohort encompasses people experiencing an emergent mid-life life-stage characterized by increased fluidity between previously distinct phases such as work and retirement. Once relocated, in-migrants seek ways to become endogenous actors in their new locale and construct new identities. A change of habitus is required to successfully navigate the transition from city-dweller to ‘local’. One avenue to achieve this is to engage with local volunteer organisations for the development of attachment to place, identity and for the re-narration of life-meaning. This qualitative research took place in Mercury Bay on the Coromandel Peninsula, Aotearoa New Zealand, with pre-retirees who in-migrated from city locations and who sought volunteer roles in local community organisations. My initial exploration looked to understand how social capital is manifest for these individuals in their volunteer roles in their new location. Findings suggest the existence of a paradox within that development of social capital: participants’ narratives indicate that they unconsciously seek to reproduce the very conditions from which they sought to escape, as associated with urban stressors such as workplace stress, urban pressures, financial considerations, social isolation and the demands for ‘efficiency’ of new-capitalist workplaces. More particularly, the paradox plays out in the development of new forms of habitus by which participants might embed themselves within the community.

 ▼ This qualitative, exploratory research examined the American life course through narrative accounts of twenty, former expatriates. All participants had lived and worked in another country for a minimum of at least one year before returning to the US. In-depth, face-to-face interviews were conducted between April 2011 and June 2012. Interviews were unstructured and lasted between 1-2 hours. Participants in this study were well-educated, middle class professionals with highly desirable skills. Yet, despite the flexibility that privileged status bestowed, participants maintained normative life course patterns. Families were instrumental in monitoring the life course and distributed sanctions and benefits to family members as a means of influencing life course decisions. Additionally, this research highlighted the amount of labor parents performed to prevent disadvantages for their children and to collect and maintain advantages. For parents moving overseas with children, the paramount concern was whether this move would disrupt the health or education of their children. The primary finding of the study was the concept of continuity work and how people maintained continuity in their lives when a change in one spheres of life influenced other aspects of life. Participants used various transitional techniques to navigate life course changes such as combining states or bridging statuses. If the work required to synchronize life course trajectories was too great, than participants intentionally bundled multiple transitions as a way to change life course trajectories.

 ▼ This paper navigates the gendered landscape of international migration by estimating and examining age-standardized gender ratios of foreign-born stocks in 56 countries for years ranging from 1960 to 2008 in order to gauge the extent of feminization of international migration. I focus on major destination countries in North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and Africa, and examine the gender composition of the three largest immigrant groups in these destinations to map the gendered circuits of migration. Findings reveal that although there is considerable variation in the gender composition of immigrant populations across space and time, there is an upward trend, albeit modest, in womenâs representation in foreign-born populations. In addition, each region has complex and unique migration circuits, with some countries attracting more women while others attract more men. Advisors/Committee Members: Katharine M. Donato (chair), Mariano Sana (committee member).

 ▼ The rapid increase in the number of religious non-affiliates in the United States makes non-affiliation an important issue to study. Traditional secularization theories have explained the overall increase in the number of people who report not belonging to a specific religion, but have not explored the diversity among them. Studies attempting to explain the rise in non-affiliation have been basically descriptive, focusing on sociodemographic characteristics or social networks of religious non-affiliates, examining the effects of cohort, political orientation, parents' religions, and peer religions. There is no comprehensive social theory on the dynamics of religious non-affiliation. In sum, the previous literature requires us to reconsider the theoretical limits of modernity and the unilateral understanding of secularization and suggests a new framework for multiple secularities in accordance with high modernity. In this study, I conceptualize religious non-affiliation as "multiple secularities," creating a new framework that takes into account the existence of various forms of non-affiliation in the United States. Specifically, I identify three types of worldviews (theism, spiritualism, immanent frame) and two categories of institutional religious affiliation (affiliation and non-affiliation). Thus, six forms of belief are considered – affiliated theism, affiliated spiritualism, affiliated positivism, unaffiliated theism, unaffiliated spiritualism, and unaffiliated positivism. Utilizing the 2005 Baylor Religion Survey and the Religion Module of the 2008 International Social Science Survey, this dissertation explores differences among multiple secularities in the U.S. with respect to three dimensions of holistic implications: head, heart, and hand. Findings indicate that there are distinct differences among unaffiliated individuals based on belief types. Compared to unaffiliated spiritualists and unaffiliated positivists, unaffiliated theists place less importance on the role of human agency as compared to divine agency, have lower levels of moral liberalism, are more likely to favor religion when considering the tension between religion and science, more likely to report experiences of being filled with the Spirit, more likely to participate in political associations, but less likely to attend political rallies and demonstrations. Unaffiliated spiritualists have the highest rates of reporting experiences of oneness with the universe and interest in New Age (astrology and alternative medicine), and they are most likely to participate in political rallies or public protests among the unaffiliated individuals. Unaffiliated positivists are most likely to place importance on human agency, and they have the lowest rates of religious and spiritual experiences among the unaffiliated. These findings make several important contributions to the literature. First, they contribute to the recognition of the limits of the `secularization' thesis in a high (or late) modern society such as the United States and provide a new...

 The report dealt with changes in social interactions among old and elder population, specializing in roles of grandfathers. Focus is on approach towards aging process and social bonds during this process. Report analyzed the features of social interaction between older population and the influence of old age to human behavior. Additionally report covered major changes in live roles among older population – going on pension or widowhood, loosing active father‘s role. The materials used for report included analysis of relative science literature and data of qualitative research on roles of grandfathers. The research identified main roles of grandfathers like tutor, judge, teacher, assistant, transferor of culture, traditions and customs and more. Interviews covered and analyzed problems of several generations with appearance of grandchildren and entrance of grandfather’s role dealing with help to younger generation and common leisure. Major factor identified was that interaction between older and younger population allows the transition of key social values that are vital to our society.

 ▼ In contemporary U.S. society, thinness is highly valued and excessive weight is denigrated. Obese individuals are often stigmatized and targets of discrimination. The stigma and discrimination can then result in poor psychological well-being. Although obesity is stigmatized, stigmatizing attitudes toward obese individuals and the subsequent consequences may change throughout the adult life course. The present study examines the association between body weight and psychological well-being among young, middle-aged, and older adults using Wave I (1995) of the Midlife Development in the United States study (N = 2,932). I also explore the extent to which different mechanisms, such as perceived discrimination and weight control behaviors, explain the association between body weight and psychological well-being and how these may differ for young, middle-aged, and older adults. Prior research has generally focused on one set of pathways that may be relevant for young adults but they may not necessarily apply to middle-aged or older adults. The present study fills this research gap by improving our understanding of the association between body weight and psychological well-being and whether different mechanisms explain the association for different age groups in adulthood. Gender differences in the association between body weight and psychological well-being and its mechanisms over the adult life course are also explored. Results show that high body weight was negatively associated with psychological well-being, and this association was significant for all age groups. However, there were general and age-specific mechanisms that explained the association between body weight and psychological well-being across adulthood. For all age groups, weight perception explained the association between body weight and psychological well-being. Physical health explained the association between body weight and psychological well-being for young and middle-aged adults, but not for older adults. Although perceived discrimination had negative effects on psychological well-being for all age groups, it explained the association between body weight and psychological well-being for middle-aged adults only. Gender differences revealed that the association between body weight and psychological well-being and its mechanisms had a larger negative effect for women than men, and this finding was significant for young adults only.

 ▼ BACKGROUND This thesis studies the relationship between area-level socioeconomic status and the incidence and 30-day survival of out of hospital cardiac arrest. The effect of socioeconomic status on health has been studied for over 150 years. Although cardiac arrest is a major public health problem there has been very little focus on socioeconomic status and out of hospital cardiac arrest. DATA AND METHODS The cardiac arrest data are obtained from the Swedish cardiac arrest registry. Data on age structure and percentage of immigrants is from SCBs total population registry and socioeconomic data come from SCBs LISA database. The incidence analysis is made in two steps. The first step calculates the age standardized incidence and the second step is an OLS analysis. For the survival analysis a logistic regression analysis is made to measure the probability of survival in different income areas. RESULTS For the socioeconomic status – incidence analysis the results from the OLS analysis suggest that the incidence is almost twice as high in the lowest income area. Intercept (Highest group) = 26.8 and <140 000 (lowest group) = 24.5. In the survival analysis (using a binary logistic regression analysis) there was a significantly lower OR for the lowest income group for all patients (OR= 0.521, p= 0.049) and for the sub group (patients 18-75 years old) there was a significant negative relationship for the two lowest groups. <140 000 (OR= 0.444, p= 0.032) and 140 000-159 000 (OR= 0.620, p= 0.046). CONCLUSION There is a significant relationship between living in a poor neighborhood and out of hospital cardiac arrest. Those living in poorer areas have both an increased incidence and lower chance of survival of out of hospital cardiac arrest.
