• W648875505 abstract "Fear as a Predictor of Life Satisfaction for Older Adults in Retirement in Canada by Satoko Nguyen MA, Graduate School of Kobe University, 2001 BS, Kyoto Prefectural University, 1985 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Human Services Walden University May 2012 Abstract In developed countries, most healthy retirees still have fears about growing old; however, there is little empirical data on the relationship between this fear and quality of life. This cross-sectional, correlational, survey study tested whether a summated measure of fears of growing old (fear) based on Laslett’s theory of retirement (the third age) significantly predicted life satisfaction and retirement satisfaction after adjusting for significant activity theory covariates. 190 Canadian volunteer retirees at 3 community retirement centers completed surveys. A pilot study established the reliability and valdity of the scales, including an instrument Fears about Growing Old derived from Laslett’s exemplifications, used to assess the independent variable. In a regresion analysis, fear (Rchange = .06) was found to be a statistically signficant predictor of life satisfaction when controlling for 5 covariates (activity level, circumstance on the last job, non job-related interests, post-retirement work, and social support); overall R = .26. In the model with retirement satisfaction as the outcome, fear significantly explained variance in the outcome (Rchange = .04) while controlling for 2 significant covariates (activity level and social support); overall R = .14. A separate analysis did not support a work by gender interaction on satisfaction. The highest rated fears were loss of indpendence and loss of mobility, and men rated loss of partner very high while women rated disease very high. Implications for positive social change include preparing employers, counselors, workers at senior centers, and spouses to discuss these fears with prospective and recent retirees to help them cope more effectively which can lead to improved quality of life.In developed countries, most healthy retirees still have fears about growing old; however, there is little empirical data on the relationship between this fear and quality of life.

UMI Number: 3509675 Dedication To Mr. Calvin Little and Ms. Betty Lou Frith, without whose help and support, this dissertation would not have been possible. Acknowledgments I very much appreciate the great encouragement and help received from my chairperson, Dr. Teresa Tirrito, quantitative methodological expert Dr. William Barkley, URR member Dr. Marie Caputi, all staff and seniors in three senior centers. I am forever grateful to my husband who willingly agreed to and always encouraged my pursuing a Ph.D. degree, my father who was proud of me, but passed away without seeing me complete my doctorate, and my daughter who stayed home with my husband without complaint during my data gathering in Summer 2011. With my belief that I can help seniors have life satisfaction more than ever, I finally reach this moment. All my friends at Walden University who provided remarkable mental supports brought me successfully completing this dissertation." @default.
