DESCRIPTION (Adapted from applicant's abstract): The purpose of this application is to seek funds to continue work on the NIA-supported project, "Well-Being Among the Aged: Personal Control and Self-Esteem" (R01 AG-09221). The first three years of this project (1991-1993) were devoted to conducting a face-to-face nationwide survey of 1,103 older adults. Role-specific measures of stress, control, and self-worth were developed to test the following hypotheses: (1) that events arising in highly salient roles exert an especially noxious impact on well-being; (2) that these deleterious effects operate by eroding feelings of control and self-esteem associated with the roles in which these stressors emerged; and (3) that support provided by significant others tends to offset the impact of salient role stressors by bolstering bolster role-specific feelings of control and self-worth. The application seeks to build upon these findings by conducting two reinterviews with the participants in the baseline survey. This data will allow us to address the following new objectives: 1. To describe aggregate as well as individual-level change in multiple dimensions of stress, social support, personal control, self-esteem, and distress; 2. To estimate a series of three-wave panel models in order to evaluate the temporal ordering among the constructs listed above; 3. To assess whether levels of stress, social support, self-esteem, personal control, and distress vary across eight social roles when these roles are valued highly by older adults; 4. To estimate a latent variable model that is designed to see if specific kinds of stressors, social support, and feelings of control influence the selection of particular kinds of coping responses; 5. To examine the effects of role transitions on distress; 6. To assess whether specific types of salient role stressors exert a differential impact on depressive symptoms; 7. To explore whether social support provided in one role (e.g., the parental role) offsets the effects of stress arising in another role (e.g., the marital role); 8. To see whether the value placed on social roles influences whether the effects of stressors arising in one role spill over into another role.

描述（改编自申请人摘要）：本申请的目的 申请是为了寻求资金，继续在NIA支持的工作， “老年人的福祉：个人控制和自尊”项目 (R01 AG-09221）。该项目的头三年（1991-1993年）是 致力于对全国1,103名老年人进行面对面的调查， 成年人了对压力、控制力和自我价值感的角色特异性测量是 （1）事件发生的原因是： 高度突出的角色对幸福产生特别有害的影响; (2)这些有害的影响是通过侵蚀 控制和自尊与这些角色相关， 压力源出现;（3）重要他人提供支持 倾向于抵消突出角色压力源的影响， 支持特定角色的控制感和自我价值感。 该应用程序旨在通过进行两次 与基线调查参与者的重新访谈。该数据 将使我们能够实现以下新目标： 1.为了描述多个领域中的总体和个人层面的变化， 压力、社会支持、个人控制、自尊和 危难; 2.估计一系列三波面板模型，以评估 上面列出的结构之间的时间顺序; 3.为了评估压力，社会支持，自尊， 个人控制和痛苦在八种社会角色中各不相同， 老年人高度重视角色; 4.要估计潜变量模型，该模型旨在查看 特定类型的压力源、社会支持和控制感 影响特定类型应对反应的选择; 5.研究角色转换对苦恼的影响; 6.为了评估特定类型的突出角色压力源是否会产生 对抑郁症状的不同影响; 7.探讨是否在一个角色中提供社会支持（例如，的 父母角色）抵消了另一个角色产生的压力的影响 (e.g.,婚姻角色）; 8.看看社会角色的价值是否会影响 一个角色产生的压力源的影响会蔓延到另一个角色 作用
