A Content Analysis Of The Advertisements In Three Nursing Journals: What Are They Saying About The Aged?, Ann Temborius

Honors Projects

Ageism is not a new phenomenon. Aristotle himself wrote of the wonders and beauty of youth and stated his belief that after the age of fifty, man definitely 'declined. 'But never before has the emphasis on youth been so profound in our society. Youth is associated with worth, value and productivity; the aged individual is seen as having little to contribute to our fast-moving, technologically-exploding society.

Some Correlates Of Satisfaction In Retirement., Diane Janell Clark

All ETDs from UAB

In 1960, there were 16 million persons over age 65. At present, there are 23 million persons over age 65, and about 38%, or 8.7 million, of those are over age 75. It is projected that by the year 2000, 43% of the aged will be over age 75. Only 21% of the men over 65 are employed as compared to 45% in 1960 (Benedict, 1978). The implications of the preceding statistics are alarming.

An Exploratory Investigation Of The Relationship Between Personality And Intelligence With Community-Living And Institutionalized Elderly Females, Richard D. Stolp

Masters Theses

The Hand Test and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale were administered to 25 institutionalized (Mage = 80.00) and 25 community-living (Mage = 72.92) elderly females to investigate personality differences between the two groups, and to explore the relationship between personality and intelligence in regard to the aged. It was discussed that the results of the present study should be interpreted with caution, since significant age and educational differences were found between the groups that may have contributed to the results. The hypothesis concerning greater personality deterioration in institutionalized subjects than in community-living subjects was given partial support inasmuch as depletion …

The Threat Index And Two Forms Of Resistance To The Concept Of Death, Henry E. Miller Jr.

Dissertations and Theses

Many investigators of death attitudes have emphasized the limitation of self-report measures of the fear of death in that responses are often unreal and highly questionable due to defenses and ego maneuvers. The Self-Administered Threat Index (SATI) introduced by Rainey and Epting (1977) appears to meet most criticisms of other investigators.

The present study was a partial replication of the Golding, et al. (1966) study with the SATI replacing the Sarnoff Fear of Death Scale. Forty-six introductory psychology students, both males and females, performed a tachistoscopic recognition task, completed the SATI and the Semantic Differential and were administered a brief …
