Abstract

Conforme a los cambios sociales y económicos, la tipología y definición del jubilado va siendo modificada en las últimas décadas. Hoy por hoy no existe un amplio consenso para definir a la persona jubilada como hasta ahora tradicionalmente se había hecho. Así, en diferentes estudios aparecen nuevos términos: nuevo perfil de jubilados (Canes y García, 1989), nueva vejez (Bazo, 1992; 1996; 2000) y nuevos jubilados (De Zayas, 1996). El objetivo principal de esta investigación ha sido analizar el grado de interacción que pudieran tener determinadas variables sociales, psicológicas y de salud en la tipología de un posible nuevo perfil del jubilado. Participaron en este estudio un total de 161 jubilados (mayores de 55 años) sin deterioro cognitivo. Un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM) muestra que algunas variables de tipo social, psicológicas y de salud (por ejemplo, niveles bajos de ansiedad y depresión, buenas relaciones sociales, actividad física, buena salud y recursos económicos) participan de esa interacción con lo que podríamos denominar un nuevo perfil del jubilado, de especial interés en el ámbito de las organizaciones.

Gender differences in self-concept and psychological well-being in old age: a meta-analysis.

S. Sorensen, M Pinquart (2001)

Because of women's higher risk of being widowed, having health problems, and needing care, one might expect them to have a more negative self-concept and lower subjective well-being (SWB). However, women may also have greater access to sources of SWB (e.g., relations to adult children) and may engage in processes to protect the self (e.g., lowered aspirations). Meta-analysis was used to synthesize findings from 300 empirical studies on gender differences in life satisfaction, happiness, self-esteem, loneliness, subjective health, and subjective age in late adulthood. Older women reported significantly lower SWB and less positive self-concept than men on all measures, except subjective age, although gender accounted for less than 1% of the variance in well-being and self-concept. Smaller gender differences in SWB were found in younger than in older groups. Statistically controlling for gender differences in widowhood, health, and socioeconomic status decreased gender differences in SWB. Cohort differences in SWB are reported as well.

Quality of life index: development and psychometric properties.

Ann Powers, C Ferrans (1985)

The purpose of the study on which this article is based was to assess the validity and reliability of an instrument designed to measure quality of life. Sixty-four items applicable to both healthy subjects and dialysis patients were tested with graduate students (n = 88); six items relative to dialysis were added, and the instrument was administered to dialysis patients (n = 37). Items were based on literature review, which supported content validity. Correlations between the instrument and an overall satisfaction with life question of 0.75 (graduate students) and 0.65 (dialysis patients) supported criterion-related validity. Support for reliability was provided by test-retest correlations of 0.87 (graduate students) and 0.81 (dialysis patients) and Cronbach's alphas of 0.93 (graduate students) and 0.90 (dialysis patients).
