The Social Structuring of Mental Health over the Adult Life Course: Advancing Theory in the Sociology of Aging Philippa Clarke, University of Michigan Victor Marshall, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill James House, and University of Michigan Paula Lantz University of Michigan Abstract The sociology of aging draws on a broad array of theoretical perspectives from several disciplines, but rarely has it developed its own. We build on past work to advance and empirically test a model of mental health framed in terms of structural theorizing and situated within the life course perspective. Whereas most prior research has been based on cross-sectional data, we utilize four waves of data from a nationally representative sample of American adults (Americans' Changing Lives Study) collected prospectively over a 15-year period and find that education, employment and marital status, as well as their consequences for income and health, effectively explain the increase in depressive symptoms after age 65. We also found significant cohort differences in age trajectories of mental health that were partly explained by historical increases in education. We demonstrate that a purely structural theory can take us far in explaining later life mental health. Frame works to Classify Theory Discussions of theory in the sociology of aging have tended to contrast the merit of different theoretical approaches (Bengtson, Burgess and Parrott 1997; Marshall and Clarke 2007; Hendricks 1992).

  • Matilda White Riley, Ph.D
    Journal of Gerontology: SOCIAL SCIENCES Copyright 2005 by The Gerontological Society of America 2005, Vol. 60B, No. 6, S296–S304 On the Shoulders of a Giant: The Legacy of Matilda White Riley for Gerontology Dale Dannefer,1 Peter Uhlenberg,2 Anne Foner,3 and Ronald P. Abeles4 1Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio. 2University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. 3Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey. 4National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland. The legacy of Matilda White Riley to the study of aging encompasses multiple disciplines and extends to multiple domains within these disciplines. Although her greatest intellectual legacy is in sociology, she presented a compelling vision of the need for other disciplines to consider the role of social forces in shaping both aging as an individual, lifelong process and age as a feature of culture and social systems. This article reviews Riley’s theoretical contributions in four areas: (1) articulating age and social systems; (2) identifying fallacies in the interpretation of research on aging; (3) theorizing about social change and structural lag; and (4) presenting social possibilities related to age integration. We conclude by considering briefy the reach of her legacy beyond sociology—in collaborating across disciplinary boundaries, in encouraging the development of sound longitudinal data archives, and in developing an institutional infrastructure to support and sustain research on aging in the social and behavioral sciences. Although short of physical stature, Riley’s contributions to gerontology are enormous. Gerontologists from many disciplinary backgrounds have been informed by and rely upon these insights and thus share the advantage of ‘‘standing on the shoulders of a giant.’’ T MAY not be widely appreciated that Matilda White Riley in some respects, Riley’s use of this framework has been I began to study aging at a point in her career that would vulnerable to similar critiques.

  • Read the Introduction (Pdf)
    1 Introduction A society is possible in the last analysis because the individuals in it carry around in their heads some sort of picture of that society. —Louis Wirth t is something of an historical peculiarity that American sociology, an academic discipline charged with the objective of illuminating the Isubstance of everyday life, has possessed such a comparatively low public profile among the social sciences. Sociologists’ valuable investi- gations of and insights into the nature of work and the workplace, par- enting and childhood, consumerism, sexuality and sexual identity, race and race relations, public health, economic inequality, criminality, sub- stance abuse, gender roles, aging, athletic competition, and artistic ex- pression have yet to receive the degree of public attention that is accorded the work of psychologists, economists, and political scientists. Moreover, the very awareness of sociological study and its contributions remains comparatively limited within American public life, so that the ordinary citizen’s access to the formulation of social issues in sociological terms, and with the support of sociological findings and concepts, remains unnecessarily attenuated. This book investigates the origins of this public marginalization of American sociology within the particular challenges its practitioners have faced since the end of World War II in defining who they are and what they do. Social scientists in general have of course struggled since their respective disciplines’ professionalization amid the turmoil of late nineteenth-century industrialization and the bureaucratization of intel- lectual endeavor to determine their proper roles within the discourse on 2 / Chapter 1 and challenges of modernity, and in each instance they have sought to forge symbols and standards to validate their professional competence.

    Kingsley Davis 1908–1997 A Biographical Memoir by Geoffrey McNicoll ©2019 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. KINGSLEY DAVIS August 20, 1908–February 27, 1997 Elected to the NAS, 1966 Kingsley Davis was a significant figure in American sociology of the mid-twentieth century and by many esti- mations the leading social demographer of his generation. He made influential contributions to social stratification theory and to the study of family and kinship. He was an early theorist of demographic transition—the emergence of low-mortality, low-fertility regimes in industrializing societies—and a protagonist in major and continuing debates on policy responses to rapid population growth in low-income countries. Davis held faculty appointments at a sucession of leading universities, for longest at the University of California, Berkleley. He was honored by his peers in both sociology By Geoffrey McNicoll and demography: president of the America Sociological Association in 1959 and of the Population Association of America in 1962-’63. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1966, the first sociologist to be a member. Kingsley Davis was born in Tuxedo, Texas, a small community near Abilene, in 1908. His parents were Joseph Dyer Davis, a physician, and Winifred Kingsley Davis; he was a collateral descendant of Jefferson Davis. He took his baccalaureate from the University of Texas in 1930. (Revisiting the campus decades later as a distinguished professor, he allowed that he would not have qualified for admission under later, more stringent criteria.) Two years later at the same institution he received an MA in philosophy with a thesis on the moral philosophy of Bertrand Russell.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that tht» copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is custoivnry to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
