“…The finding that aging identity was directly influenced by stressors in the family and work domains, though not by rewards, is in line with other studies. Other studies have reported that strain in interpersonal relationships (Cha, Seo, & Sok, 2012; von Humboldt, Leal, & Pimenta, 2012), such as family relationships, are viewed as social losses, whereas work strain may be viewed as losses in personal achievement or financial control (Furstenberg, 2002). Losses make individuals perceive their aging more negatively (Holahan & Velasquez, 2011; Knight & Ricciardelli, 2003).…”

The growing aging workforce comprises older workers with a concurrent family role. Guided by life span development and role theories, the primary study hypothesis was that rewards and stressors in the family and work domains would impact self-perceptions on aging because of the enhancement and conflict between these domains. The study sample consisted of workers older than 50 years with at least one of four family roles (spouse, parent of adult children, caregiver to an aging parent, and grandparent) from the 2010 and 2012 Health and Retirement Study ( N = 5,628). Results showed that self-perceptions on aging were impacted directly by family and work stressors and indirectly by these stressors through work-family enhancement and conflict . Work and family roles are thus crucial to the identity of adults in later life.

“…The present study, as well as the studies by von Humboldt, Leal, and Pimenta (2012a,b), constitute part of a multiphase project entitled, “Older adults' adjustment to aging and subjective well‐being,” for which support was given by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and ethical approval was given by the Superior Institute of Applied Psychology‐University. Informed consent was received from all participants and the study protocol was approved by the Research Unit in Psychology and Health.…”

This study intended to analyze the indicators of adjustment to aging (AtA) and to investigate the latent constructs that can work as major determinants in spirituality for a cross-national older community-dwelling population. Questionnaires were completed to assess the participants' background information. Interviews were performed, addressing one core area: indicators of AtA. Complete data were available for 154 older adults from two nationalities (German and Portuguese), aged between 75 and 103 years (M = 86.6; SD = 6.98). The data were subjected to content analysis. Representations of the associations and latent constructs were analyzed using a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA). The most prevalent response of the interviewed participants for indicators of AtA was spirituality (43.2%). Spiritual activities was the most reported response regarding spirituality (20.0%). A significant moderate association was found between spiritual activities and nationality (V = .365; p < .001). Spirituality for older adults was explained by a three-dimensional overall model: spiritual and existential meaning, limit-related awareness and community embeddedness. The findings presented in this paper emphasized the need to explore the potential of spirituality for AtA and the need for improving the spiritual dimension of health care for the older cross-national population.

“…In general, previous scholars have used MCA in marketing research (Kaciak and Louviere, 1990), the usage of medical care and medicine (Bonnefoy-Mazure et al, 2013;Liu and Liu, 2011), geology and geography applications (Dai and Lee, 2001), psychological analysis (von Humboldt et al, 2012), and tourism behaviorrelated studies (Richards and van der Ark, 2013). However, the use of MCA in patent analysis is insufficient.…”

Offshore wind power has been extremely popular in recent years, and in the energy technology field, relevant research has been increasingly conducted. However, research regarding patent portfolios is still insufficient. The purpose of this research is to study the status of mainstream offshore wind power technology and patent portfolios and to investigate major assignees and countries to obtain a thorough understanding of the developmental trends of offshore wind power technology. The findings may be used by the government and industry for designing additional strategic development proposals. Data mining methods, such as multiple correspondence analyses and k-means clustering, were implemented to explore the competing technological and strategic-group relationships within the offshore wind power industry. The results indicate that the technological positions and patent portfolios of the countries and manufacturers are different. Additional technological development strategy recommendations were proposed for the offshore wind power industry.
