Ethnicity & Socioemotional Functioning in Later Life

描述（由申请人提供）：目的：本申请解决了NACA的少数民族老龄化审查委员会的呼吁，对少数民族样本进行基于人口的纵向研究，并澄清种族在人类发展和老龄化中的作用。目前的研究涉及社会情绪功能在以后的生活及其与健康和弹性的关系的检查。在1996年至1996年的经济，社会情感和文化变量的数据收集分层随机样本的个人（N=1 118），年龄范围从65-86岁，包括四个种族群体：美国出生的非洲裔美国人，非洲加勒比人，美国出生的欧洲裔美国人，从东欧移民欧洲人。在本申请中，我们提出了具有两个主要目标的两波随访数据。第一个目标是研究离散情绪、依恋风格和社交网络的稳定性和变化模式，并测试离散情绪理论、依恋理论和社会情绪选择性理论的理论模型的相关性和跨文化的普遍性。第二个目标是一方面确定生存和复原力的预测因素，另一方面确定发病率和死亡率的预测因素。更具体地说，该研究旨在预测生存率作为社会情绪变量的函数，包括情绪特征，情绪调节方式，依恋方式和社交网络，控制SES，生活方式风险因素和TI的健康状况，并开发用于预测非裔美国人和欧洲裔美国人种族亚群发病率和死亡率的模型。方法：将再次联系受访者，以参与另外两波数据收集。几乎所有在TI收集的措施将重新管理那些谁是认知完整。这些数据将被用来测试配方来自离散的情绪，附件，和社会情绪选择性理论。在补助金发放的第五年，国家数据索引将提供在此期间死亡的受访者的死亡时间和原因数据。分析：交叉滞后面板分析将应用于三波数据，以评估社会情绪功能的稳定性和变化。将对死亡率数据进行生存分析

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Aims: This application addresses the NACA's Minority Aging Review Committee's call for longitudinal population-based research on minority samples and the clarification of the role of ethnicity in human development and aging. The present research involves an examination of socioemotional functioning in later life and its relation to health and resiliency. In 1996-1996 data on economic, socioemotional, and cultural variables were collected on a stratified random sample of individuals (N=1 118), ranging in age from 65-86 years and comprising four ethnic groups: US-born African Americans, African Caribbeans, US-born European Americans, and Immigrant Europeans from Eastern Europe. In the present application we propose two waves of follow-up data with two major objectives. The first objective is to examine patterns of stability and change with respect to discrete emotions, attachment styles, and social networks, and to test the relevance of, and cross-cultural generality of, theoretical models of discrete emotions theory, attachment theory, and socioemotional selectivity theory. The second objective is to determine the predictors of survival and resilience on the one hand and morbidity and mortality on the other. More specifically, the study aims to predict survival as a function of socioemotional variables, including emotion traits, emotion regulation style, attachment style, and social networks, controlling for SES, lifestyle risk factors, and health at TI, and to develop models for predicting morbidity and mortality in ethnic sub-populations of African Americans and European Americans.Method: Respondents will be re-contacted to participate in two more waves of data collection. Virtually all of the measures collected at TI will be re-administered to those who are cognitively intact. These data will be used to test formulations derived from discrete emotions, attachment, and socioemotional selectivity theories. In the fifth year of the grant, the National Data Index will provide data on time and cause of death for those respondents who have died during the interim.Analysis: Cross-lagged panel analysis will be applied to the three waves of data to assess stability and change in socioemotional functioning. Survival analysis will be applied to the mortality data
