Description
SAGE PUBLISHING Researching Social Gerontology 4 Volumes Set 2012 Edition by Cutchin
Through a careful selection of key articles published over the past few decades, this major work addresses how social gerontologists research ageing. Social gerontology draws upon a wide base of disciplines such as sociology, geography, anthropology, psychology . The complexity of ageing from a social gerontology perspective demands a broad range of methodological approaches. Thus, the overarching theme of this collection is methodological-exemplifying the different ways of conducting investigations about the most important issues in ageing studies. Under the expert guidance of a team of respected editors, this four-volume set brings together key contributions to the social scientific study of the ageing process and the places, relationships, and institutions that shape that process. Broken down into thematic chapters, it offers works that take on the most significant challenges of research about ageing.Volume 1: Ageing and PlacesVolume 2: Social Relationships and AgeingVolume 3: Social Institutions, the Life Course, and AgeingVolume 4: Cross-cutting Epistemological Issues VOLUME ONE: AGEING AND PLACESPART ONE: HOME AND HOUSINGThe Home Environment of Older People - Robert RubinsteinA Description of the Psychosocial Processes Linking Person to PlaceSituating 'Home' at the Nexus of the Public and Private Spheres - Anne Martin-Matthews Ageing, Gender and Home Support Work in Canada The Home as a Site for Long-Term Care - Isabel Dyck et alMeanings and Management of Bodies and Spaces Relationships between Housing and Health Aging in Very Old Age - Frank Oswald et alThe Outcomes of Re-Housing Older Homeless People - Maureen Crane and Anthony WarnesA Longitudinal Study PART TWO: NEIGHBORHOODSThe Surveillance Zone as Meaningful Space for the Aged - Graham RowlesThe Contributions of Race, Individual Socioeconomic Status and Neighborhood Socioeconomic Context on the Self-Rated Health Trajectories and Mortality of Older Adults - Li Yao and Stephanie RobertNeighborhood-Level Cohesion and Disorder - Kathleen Cagney et alMeasurement and Validation in Two Older Adult Urban Populations The Relationship of Built Environment to Perceived Social Support and Psychological Distress in Hispanic Elders - Scott Brown et alThe Role of 'Eyes on the Street'Natural Neighborhood Networks - Paula GardnerImportant Social Networks in the Lives of Older Adults Aging in PlacePART THREE: COMMUNITIESBecoming 'at Home' in Assisted-Living Residences - Malcolm Cutchin, Steven Owen and Pei-Fen ChangExploring Place Integration Processes Managing Decline in Assisted Living - Mary Ball et alThe Key to Aging in Place A City within a City - Mary ByrnesA 'Snapshot' of Aging in a HUD 202 in Detroit, MichiganThese White Walls - Kevin McHugh and Elizabeth Larson-KeagyThe Dialectic of Retirement Communities'This Is Where We Buried Our Sons' - Janet Seeley et al People of Advanced Old Age Coping with the Impact of the AIDS Epidemic in a Resource-Poor Setting in Rural Uganda PART FOUR : MIGRATIONPredictors of Non-Local Moves among Older Adults - Charles Longino et alA Prospective Study How Left behind Are Rural Parents of Migrant Children?
