Resumo(s)
This article presents three studies which demonstrate that (1) Older
women enjoy the status of grandparenthood, and they show
resources, continued personal growth, and positive functioning;
(2) Spouses provide emotional support, and widowhood has an
impact on the experience of emotional loneliness; and (3) As they
age, men remain cognitively more preserved, and women affectively more preserved. Over a 3-year period, older people showed
smooth changes in physical health, cognitive functioning, and
mental health. Results are discussed in terms of healthy living,
resilience, positive affect, and also conditions that promote undesirable pathways in older age. Implications for feminist therapy
with older people are discussed.
