“…Ardelt et al ., 2018), eudaimonic wellbeing after retirement (Serrat et al ., 2018), fear of death (Major et al ., 2016), cognitive function (Maselko et al ., 2014) or for social status, such as parenting (Newton and Baltys, 2014). On the other hand, generativity has also been considered an outcome predicted by variables such as educational level (Muñoz-Rodríguez et al ., 2019) and, obviously, age (Hoppman and Blanchard-Fields, 2010), as well as by more complex phenomena such as perceived respect from or rejection by younger generations (Tabuchi et al ., 2015), participation in intergenerational programmes (Gruenewald et al ., 2016) or certain parental relationships in childhood (Urrutia et al ., 2016). In contrast to its role as an antecedent or outcome variable, the focus on generativity as an experience in itself, not as a component of an explicit or implicit predictive model, was only present in 39 articles, that is, 17.7 per cent of the empirical papers selected for this review ( e.g.…”

Research on later-life generativity has promoted a new view of older persons that, far from the traditional images of disability, dependence and frailty, recognises their capacities, and potential to continue growing, while underlining their participation and contributions to families, communities and society. The goal of this study was to carry out a scoping review on later-life generativity, the first one conducted on this topic as far as we know, to show how studies in this area have evolved, which aspects of generativity in later life have been studied, and the methodological and epistemological approaches that are dominant in this area of inquiry. Our scoping review shows that research into generativity in later life has grown steadily over the past 30 years, and particularly during the last decade. However, our results also show how such growing interest has focused on certain methodological approaches, epistemological frameworks and cultural contexts. We identify four critical gaps and leading-edge research questions that should be at the forefront of future research into generativity in later life, gaps that reflect biases in the existing literature identified in the study. These are classified as methodological, developmental, contextual and ‘dark-side’ gaps.

“…Research suggests that exclusion from social relations (especially generative social relations) earlier in the life course decreases social opportunities for volunteering in later life (de Espanés et al 2015;Urrutia et al 2016). Similarly, research has demonstrated how important social relations throughout the life course are in securing employment in later life (Arber 2004;Phillipson et al 2004).…”

A critical review and development of a conceptual model of exclusion from social relations for older people

et al. 2019

Social exclusion is complex and dynamic, and it leads to the non-realization of social, economic, political or cultural rights or participation within a society. This critical review takes stock of the literature on exclusion of social relations. Social relations are defined as comprising social resources, social connections and social networks. An evidence review group undertook a critical review which integrates, interprets and synthesizes information across studies to develop a conceptual model of exclusion from social relations. The resulting model is a subjective interpretation of the literature and is intended to be the starting point for further evaluations. The conceptual model identifies individual risks for exclusion from social relations (personal attributes, biological and neurological risk, retirement, socio-economic status, exclusion from material resources and migration). It incorporates the evaluation of social relations, and the influence of psychosocial resources and socioemotional processes, sociocultural, social-structural, environmental and policy contextual influences on exclusion from social relations. It includes distal outcomes of exclusion from social relations, that is, individual well-being, health and functioning, social opportunities and social cohesion. The dynamic relationships between elements of the model are also reported. We conclude that the model provides a subjective interpretation of the data and an excellent starting point for further phases of conceptual development and systematic evaluation(s). Future research needs to consider the use of sophisticated analytical tools and an interdisciplinary approach in order to understand the underlying biological and ecopsychosocial associations that contribute to individual and dynamic differences in the experience of exclusion from social relations.
