Evaluation of the effect of a literature-based unit designed to enhance the attitudes of primary grade children toward the elderly

Creator:: Lawler, Brynn Heintz
Abstract:: This research investigated the effect of a literature-based unit on subjects' in primary grades attitudes toward the elderly and aging. The experiment followed a pretest/posttest design; covariates derived from three separate survey portions were compared with respective postmeasure scores. Other research on young children's attitudes toward aging suggests that ageist...

Interactive video communication technology and successful aging in place : applying the selective optimization with compensation model

Creator:: Yamamoto, Toshiko
Abstract:: This study utilized the theoretical framework of selective optimization with compensation (SOC) (Baltes, 1987; Baltes & Baltes, 1990) to interpret older adults' definitions about successful aging in place. Factors contributing to successful aging in place, including the importance of social interaction and perceptions of the usefulness of interactive video communication...

Human gait analysis by gait pattern measurement and forward dynamic model combined with non linear feedback control

Creator:: Ko, Seung-uk
Abstract:: Normal gait of human is believed to be an adapted motor control result of optimal behavior of individual. Normal gait would be altered by aging or injury without being perceived. Subtle changes in gait which is not easy to detect, can cause many serious problems including joint pains and even...

The effects of enhanced expression of the GluN2B (NR2B) subunit of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor on memory in aged animals

Creator:: Brim, Brenna L.
Abstract:: As the aging population continues to grow worldwide, age-related complications are becoming more apparent within the aging population. One of the first age-related complications to become apparent is age-associated memory impairment and it can make the elderly more dependent on caregivers early on. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is important to...

Influence of aging and behavioral experience on expression of GluN1 splice variants of the NMDA receptor in prefrontal cortex of mice brain

Creator:: Das, Siba Ranjan
Abstract:: As the aging population continues to grow the world over, age related complications become more and more apparent among the elderly population. One such complication is age associated memory impairment, which makes the elderly more dependent on caregivers early on. NMDA receptors in the brain are important for memory formation,...

Theorizing age and gender in the pursuit of love in late life

Creator:: Levaro, Elizabeth Bayler
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I explore how women and men in later life experience the world of dating and the pursuit of new intimate relationships. Although the mortality gap between women and men at older ages is narrowing, as they enter their 70s, 80s, and 90s, there are still at least...

A prospective study of functional performance balance self-efficacy, and bone mineral density in community-dwelling elderly women

Creator:: Gunter, Katherine B.
Abstract:: In the United States, falls are the leading cause of unintentional death with one of every three people 65 years and older falling each year. Falls account for approximately 95% of hip fractures among older adults and falls to the side predominate hip fracture related falls in this population. However,...

Translating the Better Bones and Balance Intervention Program into the community setting: effects of participation on skeletal health, fall risk indicators, and physical activity among older women

Creator:: McNamara, Adrienne J.
Abstract:: Better Bones and Balance (BBB) is a community-based exercise program to improve bone health and reduce fall risk among older adults. Prior research has shown that when the program is delivered by researchers under controlled conditions, participants improved strength and balance, and maintained bone mineral density (BMD) at the hip....

Social regulatory processes in adulthood : responding to change and variability in proximal and distal social forces

Creator:: Mejía, Shannon T.
Abstract:: Adult development and social experiences are intertwined, which has implications for social policy, health, and well-being across the lifespan. This dissertation explores the benefit and risk that close social partners bring to adults' lives, and the efficacy and consequences of engaging social resources to maintain well-being in the face of...

Origins of the old-growth forest conflict (1971-1989) : a new model for resource allocation

Creator:: Wilson, Mark Shelton
Abstract:: The old-growth forest conflict is part of the evolving debate over how to use the federal public lands. This study documents the origins and development of the old-growth issue through 1989. The controversy began in the early 1970s when scientists initiated studies of old-growth forests and northern spotted owls, and...
