HOW TO PUBLISH: GUIDANCE FROM GSA’S JOURNAL EDITORS
Authors: Meeks Suzanne , Anderson Rozalyn , Albert Steven , Isaacowitz Derek , Jung Karen 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Each year the GSA publications team sponsors a symposium to assist authors who wish to publish in GSA’s high impact and influential journals. The first part of the session will include five brief presentations from the editors of The Gerontologist, Innovation in Aging, and the Journals of Gerontology Series A and B plus journal managing editors. We will integrate practical tips with principles of publication ethics and scholarly integrity. The topics will be as follows: (1) Preparing your manuscript: strong and ethical scholarly writing for multidisciplinary audiences, (2) common problems that affect peer review, (3) addressing translational significance and fit to journal expectations, (4) transparency, documentation, and Open Science; and (5) working with Scholar One. Following these presentations, we will hold round table discussions with editors from the GSA journals portfolio. At these round tables, editors will answer questions related to the podium presentations and other questions specific to each journal. Intended audiences include emerging and international scholars, and authors interested in learning more about best practices and tips for getting their scholarly work published.
COMMON PROBLEMS THAT IMPACT PEER REVIEW
Authors: Anderson Rozalyn 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This presentation will review the most common issues that affect how reviewers see a manuscript submission. These include clarity, use of figures, and attention to existing research, especially establishing the significance and novelty of the work, and how to frame a narrative. I will also address responding to peer review. The focus will be on the biological science perspective (Journals of Gerontology Series A), but these issues are relevant to all submissions to GSA journals.
DEFINING TRANSLATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE IN GERONTOLOGY
Authors: Albert Steven 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Innovation in Aging requires a statement from authors on translational significance. This requirement forces authors to consider the implications of their research for changing some component of aging. How does the research address a challenge posed by aging bodies, minds, relationships, or societies? The editorial board has developed criteria for assessing translational significance. Translational research must meet at least one of three criteria. It (i) must predict or explain a health or behavioral outcome, (ii) be advanced enough in deployment or development to assess these effects, and (iii) have a clear pathway to large-scale program delivery or change in clinical practice. The criteria rule out some kinds of submissions, such as scale development, single-case studies, or reviews of literature. We use these criteria to structure each article’s required translational significance statement. Rethinking translation may help focus research across the full set of GSA journals.
MAKING CLASSROOMS MORE AGE-FRIENDLY: STRATEGIES FOR INTERGENERATIONAL EXCHANGE
Authors: Montepare Joann , Farah Kimberly , Borrero Lisa 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Aging populations are reshaping how we think about teaching and learning in higher education. As a result, educational opportunities for intergenerational exchange are on the rise with the growth of the Age-Friendly University (AFU) initiative. Endorsed by GSA’s Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education, the AFU principles call for promoting intergenerational exchange to facilitate the reciprocal sharing of expertise between learners of all ages. Age diverse classrooms and learning spaces have distinctive needs and dynamics that instructors, and students, will need to learn how to navigate. This collaborative symposium, that brings together members of the Age-Friendly University (AFU) and Intergenerational Learning, Research, and Community Engagement (ILRCE) Interest Groups, will explore evidenced-based practices that contribute to successful experiences in and beyond the classroom. Montepare and Farah will provide an overview of the AFU initiative and intergenerational classroom issues. Jarrott and colleagues will address how technology and other strategies can prepare individuals for intergenerational learning experiences, including when circumstances limit in-person opportunities, such as during COVID. Dauenhauer and Heffernan will share insights from faculty about ways to develop and sustain a lifelong learning program that incorporates intergenerational interactions in the classroom experience. Leedahl will discuss strategies for developing age-friendly intergenerational internship experiences with community partners. Borrero, co-convener of the ILRCE Interest Group, will serve as the discussant.
EVIDENCE-BASED INTERGENERATIONAL PRACTICES SUPPORT AFU PRINCIPLES
Authors: Jarrott Shannon , Juris Jill , Scrivano Rachel 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Theory and research informed a framework of best intergenerational practice that has proven effective in the field of community programs. Reflecting a number of AFU principles, this set of proven practices can promote positive intergenerational contact in college classrooms as well. Here, we present evidence-based and promising practices salient to the AFU, offering examples from the classroom and suggesting low- and high-tech solutions. For example, the intergenerational practices of offering meaningful roles and engaging youth and older adults in a novel activity can support AFU principle 4 reciprocal sharing of expertise between learners of all ages. Stakeholders, including instructors, university students, older adult learners, and community partners, benefit from preparation for the distinctive needs and opportunities of intergenerational learning experiences in higher education. Effective implementation of intergenerational strategies helps both younger and older learners to reimagine aging, offering the potential to address a critical need of individuals and communities.
EXAMINING LINKAGES BETWEEN NEIGHBORHOOD DISADVANTAGE AND SUBCLINICAL CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
Authors: Wright Regina , Allan Alexa , Gamaldo Alyssa , Morgan Adrienne Aiken , Lee Anna 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Limited research has examined the extent neighborhood disadvantage relates to subclinical CVD such as carotid atherosclerosis, arterial stiffness, and endothelial dysfunction which are key, understudied CVD risk markers. Our objective was to examine associations between neighborhood disadvantage and subclinical CVD and whether associations vary by age, sex, race, and education. The analysis included 165 Black and White older adults (mean age=64.5y). Neighborhood disadvantage was characterized using the Area Deprivation Index (ADI). Multivariable regression analysis, adjusted for age, sex, race, education, and depression, showed that national and state ADI were significant, inverse predictors of carotid atherosclerosis (near wall IMT; p=.02) and state ADI was a significant, inverse predictor of flow-mediated dilation (p=.04). A significant interaction between state and national ADI and education predicting carotid IMT emerged, but the simple slopes were non-significant (p=.02, .03). Future research should consider the role of neighborhood as a predictor of early cardiovascular risk.
AREA DEPRIVATION INDEX EFFECTS ON LONGITUDINAL REPORTS OF PHYSICAL HEALTH AMONG OLDER BLACK ADULTS
Authors: Allan Alexa , Gamaldo Alyssa , Wright Regina , Morgan Adrienne Aiken , Lee Anna , Allaire Jason , Thorpe, Jr. Roland J , Whitfield Keith 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Despite the association of neighborhood quality with poorer adult health, limited research has explored the association between neighborhood disadvantage, e.g., Area Deprivation Index (ADI), and older Black adults’ health, prospectively. The Baltimore Study of Black Aging (n = 424) was utilized to examine the association between ADI and prospective physical health. Multiple regression analyses, covarying for age, sex, education, and income, showed that living in a neighborhood with greater disadvantage was significantly associated with decreasing average heart rate from wave 1 to wave 2 (approximately 33 months apart) (p &lt; .05). This result was specifically significant for women living in neighborhoods with greater disadvantage. Additionally, findings indicated that living in a neighborhood with greater disadvantage was significantly associated with increased difficulty with activities of daily living (p &lt; .01). More research is needed to examine the implications of neighborhood context on older Black adults’ health prospectively.
EQUALITY IN CAREGIVING: RATIONALE AND DESIGN FOR AN INTERVENTION ON CAREGIVER MASTERY AMONG LGB CAREGIVERS
Authors: Kittle Krystal , Likos Kelly , Verble Danielle , Flatt Jason , Anderson Joel , Wharton Whitney 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Compared to heterosexual and cisgender caregivers, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) caregivers face unique challenges (e.g., physical, emotional, financial strain). The initial purpose of this pilot study was to assess an existing evidence-based intervention, the Savvy Caregiving Program, according to context-specific challenges faced by LGBTQ+ caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), improve caregiver mastery and mood, while reducing caregiver burden and physiological stress biomarkers. Given the inability to perform research in-person due to COVID-19, we redirected our research efforts. Trial modifications included: national vs local participation, shift to social media recruitment, virtual SCP classes and focus groups, addition of cross sectional health and caregiving data collection for all LGBTQ caregivers, and removal of biomarker collection. We will present survey results from a national sample of 49 LGBTQ caregivers. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests were used to assess differences between ADRD and non-ADRD caregivers.
BARRIERS AND FACILITATORS OF PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH WITH LGBTQ+ ELDERS OF COLOR DURING COVID-19
Authors: Oswald Austin 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Participatory action research (PAR) is a promising approach to engage older adults in self-determined research that influences policies and practices; however, the voices of older adults are very often missing from most PAR projects. The purpose of this paper is to reflect upon the challenges and opportunities of engaging lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) elders of color in PAR during the Covid-19 pandemic. Data were generated through interviews with LGBTQ+ elders of color and their caregivers and analyzed thematically. Findings illustrate several barriers and facilitators of conducting PAR during the pandemic. Barriers included feelings of distrust toward research(ers), pandemic related issues and illnesses, and competing priorities and interests. Facilitators included leveraging community connections and participating in community-based activities. Study findings have the potential to advance a critical turn in gerontology that is committed to the liberation of marginalized older adults in aging research, policies, and practices.
SOCIAL SUPPORT FROM FRIENDS AND INCIDENCE OF COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT A DECADE LATER
Authors: Moorman Sara , Pai Manacy 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
We inquire how diverse forms of social support from non-kin are associated with cognitive aging across ten years. We analyze data from 4,687 participants in the 2011 and 2021 waves of the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS), a cohort study of Wisconsin adolescents from the birth cohort of 1939 and their siblings. Net of sex, educational attainment, income, smoker status, depressive symptoms, self-reported health, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and stroke incidence, each additional domain in which participants perceived that they had instrumental support available from friends in 2011 was associated with a 0.07 standard deviation increase in cognitive function (i.e., TICS-m score) a decade later (p = .001). Moreover, participants who had a non-kin confidante in 2011 had significantly lower odds of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in 2021 (OR = 0.57; p = .006). Robust social engagement may help protect and maintain older adults’ cognitive skills.
THE CHALLENGE OF ASSESSING AND MEASURING SOCIAL INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION IN LATER LIFE
Authors: Waldegrave Charles , Aartsen Marja 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Social exclusion is a serious problem that can lead to diminished well-being, health problems, premature death and increased societal costs. Depending on the definition used, 10 to 30% of the older adults experience social exclusion, and many have been confronted with prolonged isolation during the pandemic. Constructing measures for social inclusion and exclusion is a challenging yet important endeavor, and various approaches exist. For example, EU-policy makers define social exclusion mainly in terms of poverty and lack of labor market participation However, a too narrow definition of social exclusion leaves large groups of people unattended leading to sub-optimal understandings of social exclusion and ineffective interventions. This symposium brings together scholars from different cultures. The first paper discusses newly developed social and well-being scales, that more adequately address cultural notions of exclusion and discrimination experienced by older Māori (indigenous New Zealanders). Based on unique data from time-diaries kept by older women from several European countries and the U.S, the second speaker discusses how increased time spend alone is key factor behind widows’ reduced well-being. The last study finds a northwest to southeast gradient in objective exclusionary states, with the rates in southeast Europe to be pronounced among older women.
HOME ALONE: WIDOWS' WELL-BEING AND TIME
Authors: Myck Michal , Adena Maja , Hamermesh Daniel , Oczkowska Monika 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
We provide a comprehensive picture of well-being in widowhood. Most importantly, our analysis accounts for time use in widowhood, an aspect which has not been studied previously. Based on data from several European countries we trace the evolution of well-being of women who become widowed by comparing them with their matched non-widowed ‘statistical twins’ and examine the role of an exceptionally broad set of potential moderators of widowhood’s impact on well-being. We confirm a dramatic decrease in mental health and life satisfaction after the loss of partner, followed by a slow recovery. An extensive set of controls recorded prior to widowhood, including detailed family ties and social networks, provides little help in explaining the deterioration in well-being. Unique data from time-diaries kept by older women from several European countries and the U.S. tell us why: the key factor behind widows’ reduced well-being is increased time spent alone.
GENDERED PATHWAYS AND OUTCOMES OF EXCLUSION FROM SOCIAL RELATIONS IN OLDER AGE
Authors: Pavlidis George , Hansen Thomas , Aartsen Marja , Motel-Klingebiel Andreas 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Exclusion from social relations (ESR) in older age is associated with worse quality of life and adverse mental health outcomes. Recent evidence suggest that the perception of solitude and the evaluation of existing social networks modify the disadvantages of ESR among excluded older persons. This presentation takes a gender perspective on the topic, bringing together the quantitative evidence of the GenPath project. The results of the project suggest that over and above loneliness and objective ESR indicators, the perception of solitude and the evaluation of existing social relations modify the gendered risks of depression in older age. The findings also reveal a northwest to southeast gradient in objective ESR states, with the rates in southeast Europe to be pronounced among older women. It is concluded that objective and subjective factors at the micro and macro levels may shape gendered disadvantages among older persons who are challenged by ESR states.
THE DAILY LIFE OF HEALTHY AGING: CONSIDERING PERCEPTIONS, APPRAISALS, AND CONSEQUENCES
Authors: Hill Patrick 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
For decades, researchers have shown how individuals deal with both stressful and positive events is central to our understanding of healthy aging. Multiple studies have demonstrated that reactivity to daily events shapes our health and wellbeing, with the potential for compounding effects to cause greater hindrance by older adulthood. This literature also notes that individuals differ significantly in their appraisals, resources, and experience with stressors, leading to the need for multimethod research into the role that daily events play in adult development. The current series of talks will investigate these topics using a variety of methodologies, while considering multiple perspectives on the study of stress and wellbeing. First, Megan Wilson will consider the deleterious outcomes associated with a specific form of daily stressors, everyday experiences of discrimination, focusing on how daily discrimination may negatively impact adults’ sense of purpose in life. Second, Eric Cerino will discuss a collaborative effort that compares approaches to studying control beliefs at the dispositional and daily level, showing that researchers may benefit from considering daily stressor control as a construct unique from general beliefs. Third, Jessica Maras will also consider the role of perceptions, by examining how cognitive appraisals of stressful events impact future health outcomes. Fourth, Patrick Klaiber will present meta-analytic work that combines daily studies to consider whether the benefits of positive events on wellbeing differ by age. Taken together, these studies provide new insights into the daily life of healthy aging, and how it differs based on individual differences and stressor type.
CUMULATIVE DAILY DISCRIMINATION AS A RISK FACTOR FOR REDUCED PURPOSE
Authors: Wilson Megan , Ong Lydia , Pfund Gabrielle , Burrow Anthony , Sin Nancy 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Past research shows that discriminatory experiences may reduce sense of purpose among older adults, though these associations are inconsistent across groups. Work is needed both to understand the nuanced role discrimination plays on individuals’ sense of purpose, whether it leads to feeling derailed from life goals, and if effects differ for younger versus older adults. The current study asked 354 American adults (age 19-74) to complete daily surveys over the course of two weeks, to examine whether experiencing discrimination during that two-week period led to a decline in purposefulness. Overall, findings suggest marked stability in sense of purpose during this short timeframe. However, greater daily discrimination predicted decreases in sense of purpose, and increases in derailment over the two weeks. While these associations were similar across age, older adults did report less discrimination at baseline. Findings will be discussed with a focus on successful aging among marginalized groups.
INTERGENERATIONAL SUPPORT EXCHANGES AND OLDER PARENTS' CARE RECEIPT AND EXPECTATIONS
Authors: Bui Cindy , Kim Kyungmin , Fingerman Karen 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Distinguishing between support and care, this study investigated how different types of past support exchanges with children were associated with older parents’ care receipt and expectations. Older parents (N=190; Mage=79.98) reported on tangible, non-tangible, and childcare support exchanges with each of their adult children (N=709; Mage=52.69) in two waves of the Family Exchanges Study (2008 and 2013). Multilevel, within-family, logistic regression models were estimated. Parents with functional limitations more likely received care from children whom they received more tangible support from at the prior wave. Parents without current limitations more likely named children whom they previously provided childcare support to and received more tangible support from as their expected future caregiver. These findings emphasize continuity in the transition from receiving tangible support to receiving and expecting care from adult children. The importance of older parents’ childcare support given to adult children also highlights reciprocity in intergenerational care exchanges.
CHRONIC NEGATIVE SOCIAL TIES: IMPLICATIONS FOR EXPOSURE AND REACTIVITY TO DAILY SOCIAL INTERACTIONS
Authors: Birditt Kira , Turkelson Angela , Gonzalez Richard , Antonucci Toni 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Negative relationships (i.e., irritating, demanding) predict poor well-being and daily processes may account for these links. This study examined longitudinal trajectories of negative ties and their links with daily social interactions and well-being. A total of 169 individuals ages 33 to 91 reported negative relationship quality (spouse/child/friend) in 1992, 2005, 2015, and 2018 and completed 4-5 days of surveys every three hours regarding positive and negative social interactions and negative affect. Latent class growth models revealed two trajectories of negative relationships (moderate-stable and low-decreasing). Individuals in the moderate-stable trajectory reported more frequent daily interpersonal tensions but no link with positive interactions. The link between negative relationship trajectories and daily negative affect was moderated by daily positive interactions such that the association was reduced when individuals had positive interactions. Thus, negative ties may increase exposure but not reactivity to daily tensions and daily positive interactions buffer the negative tie-well-being link.
CONNECTING MOBILITY AND SOCIAL PARTICIPATION IN OLDER ADULTS: A QUESTION OF CULTURE AND CLIMATE?
Authors: Jansen Carl-Philipp 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The main aim of the project is to investigate the relationship between life-space mobility and social participation in older adults (65+) taking into account cultural and climatic differences across several European countries. A mixed-methods approach will be applied, combining sensor-based movement data, GPS-based geolocation data, and in-situ participant-reported information by use of experience sampling. This will allow a deeper insight into the connection of mobility and social participation taking into account different environmental and socio-cultural realities. Linkage of seasonal climate across different climate zones can help to extrapolate multi-faceted transformation of future mobility behavior of older adults under pressure of more extreme weather and climate conditions. This is of clinical relevance as there may be no “one size fits all” answer on how to best adapt to this pressure and it can be used to steer uptake and maintenance of health-enhancing mobility, social participation, and sustainable quality of life.
