Life Satisfaction Scale

The major purpose of the study was to determine whether the Life Satisfaction Index-A was unidimensional or multidimensional and to examine the different dimensions of the scale to either validate or reject the factors on elderly blacks. The data for the study were collected from a sample of 240 black elderly in Jackson, Mississippi in Spring 197 8. The LSIA developed by Neugarten et al., was tested for revalidation and reliability by the use of item analysis, biserial correlation, discrimination values, and factor analysis. The study failed to support the existence of five dimensions that were supposed to form the life satisfaction scale as high intercorrelations were found among “mood tone,” “zest,” “self-concept,” “resolution,” and “congruence.” The cluster of items derived from factor analysis was not similar to clusters obtained by other writers. The data, however, revealed that the scale was highly reliable in measuring life satisfaction among black elderly.

Victimization Experience

Despite extensive research on fear of crime among elder members of the population, little attention has been paid to the fear of crime among Black urban elderly individuals. Using a sample of 372 low income urban Black persons aged sixty-two and over the causes and consequences of such fear were investigated. Fear of crime reduces subjective well-being of these older adults and limits their mobility. Age, gender, education, marital status, loneliness, self-reported health status, previous victimization experience, media exposure, trust of neighbors, length of residence, and type of housing were tested to identify significant predictors of fear of crime. Some of these variables had a diverse impact on fear of crime at home versus outside of the home. For example, while gender was the strongest predictor of fear of crime outside the home, it was not significantly associated with fear inside the home. Surprisingly, self-reported health status was not related to fear of crime among this sample of urban Black elderly individuals.

Black And White

This is a preliminary study looking at the coping responses of a group of black and white urban elderly women to the stressful event of a medical problem. Cognitive and active coping responses, as well as social support, were explored. Findings revealed these women were similar in many of the ways in which they responded to the stress of medical problems. However, there were some definite racial differences. These included level of social support, use of prayer in coping, and use of nonprescription drugs; the black elderly engaged in these latter behaviors more frequently.
