“…In contrast, Krause and Shaw (2000) found that feelings of control over life as a whole were not related to mortality among elderly study participants. Further inquiry of this issue is, thus, warranted.…”

What really matters in the social network–mortality association? A multivariate examination among older Jewish-Israelis

The aim of the inquiry was to examine the social network-mortality association within a wider multivariate context that accounts for the eVects of background framing forces and psychobiological pathways. The inquiry was based upon the Berkman et al. (2000) conceptual model of the determinants of health. Its main purpose was to identify the salient network correlates of 7-year all cause mortality among Jewish men and women, aged 70 and over, in Israel (n = 1,811). The investigation utilized baseline data from a national household survey of older adults from 1997 that was linked to records from the National Death Registry, updated through 2004. At the time of the study, 38% of the sample had died. Multivariate Cox hazard regressions identiWed two main network-related components as predictors of survival: contact with friends, a social network interaction variable, and attendance at a synagogue, a social engagement variable. Friendship ties are seen to uniquely reduce mortality risk because they are based on choice in nature, and reXect a sense of personal control. Synagogue attendance is seen to promote survival mainly through its function as a source of communal attachment and, perhaps, as a reXection of spirituality as well. Other possibly network-related correlates of mortality were also noted in the current analysis-the receipt of instrumental support and the state of childlessness.

“…For example, several studies have shown that lower feelings of control and mastery predict all-cause mortality over follow-ups of 2.5 years (Penninx et al, 1997), 4.8 years (Surtees, Wainwright, Luben, Khaw, & Day, 2006), and 11 years (Surtees et al, 2010). In a similar vein, Krause and Shaw (2000) reported that greater feelings of control in one's most salient role in life (but not global feelings of control) were predictive of all-cause 6-year survival. When targeting specific causes of death, the evidence suggests that perceived control is particularly associated with cardiovascular mortality, but not with cancer mortality (Surtees et al, 2006(Surtees et al, , 2010.…”

“…We argue that the effects of perceived control and associated (healthrelated) behaviors need time to evolve and accumulate. As a consequence then, the beneficial effects of greater perceived control or the detrimental effects of low perceived control should be more pronounced and visible in later phases of life relative to earlier phases (see Elder & Johnson, 2003;Fauth et al, 2007;Krause & Shaw, 2000). Consistent with this conceptual reasoning, Infurna, Gerstorf, and Zarit (in press) found in the adult lifespan sample (ages 25 -96) of the Americans' Changing Lives study that perceived control was predictive of subsequent health changes in old age, but not in midlife.…”

Perceived control plays an important role in shaping development throughout adulthood and old age. Using data from the adult lifespan sample of the national German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP; N > 10,000, covering 25 years of measurement), we explored long-term antecedents, correlates, and outcomes of perceived control and examined if associations differ with age. Targeting correlates and antecedents of control, findings indicated that higher concurrent levels of social participation, life satisfaction, and self-rated health as well as more positive changes in social participation over the preceding 11 years were each predictive of between-person differences in perceived control. Targeting health outcomes of control, survival analyses revealed that perceived control predicted 14-year hazard rates for disability (n = 996 became disabled) and mortality (n = 1,382 died). The effect for mortality, but not for disability, was independent of socio-demographic and psychosocial factors. Overall, we found very limited support for agedifferential associations. Our results provide further impetus to thoroughly examine processes involved in antecedent-consequent relations among perceived control, facets of social life, wellbeing, and health.

NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author ManuscriptIndividuals' perceived control plays an integral role for adult development and successful aging (Baltes & Baltes, 1986;Bandura, 1997;Brandtstädter, & Greve, 1994;Heckhausen & Schulz, 1995;Krause, 2007;Lachman, 2006;Rowe & Kahn, 1987;Uchino, 2006). Conceptual frameworks and empirical reports both suggest that perceived control is related to central indicators of engagement, well-being, and health (Femia, Zarit, & Johansson, 1997;Kunzmann, Little, & Smith, 2002;Penninx et al., 1997;Rodin, 1986;Skaff, 2007). However, because the evidence is often based on cross-sectional or short-term longitudinal data, little is known about the underlying long-term developmental dynamics and whether these associations differ across adulthood and old age. In the current study, we...

“…Some studies have reported protective effects of control on morbidity and mortality, although the effects are not consistent across studies (DeVellis & DeVellis, 2001). Krause and Shaw (2000) suggested that some of the inconsistency in the literature reflects the difference between general control vs. situation-or role-specific control. In their study, global control did not predict mortality, but feelings of control in the most important social role did predict longevity.…”
