Learning orientation, organizational commitment and talent retention across generations (2008, background): “Generational cohort theory A generational cohort is generally defined as people who were born at about the same time and experienced historical events at about the same point in their development (Ryder, 1965; Edmunds and Turner, 2005).”
Toward a Life Course Framework for Studying Vulnerability (2017, methodology): “…research has used the concept of a birth cohort to link the dynamics of individual lives and social changes (see the work by the demographer Norman Ryder, 1965, on cohort replacement as an engine for social change, as well as Elder, 1974/1999; on the interwar Great Depression, and Diewald,…”
Age and Birth Cohort Differences in Self-Esteem: A Cross-Temporal Meta-Analysis (2001, background): “One reason birth cohort effects may be so prevalent is that culture and historical events influence people differently depending on their age at a given time (Duncan & Agronick, 1995; Mannheim, 1928/1952; Ryden, 1965; Stewart & Healy, 1989).”
Providing More but Receiving Less: Daughters in Intergenerational Exchange in Mainland China (2017, result): “…settings, often reveal a slower pace of change (Alesina & Giuliano, 2013; DiMaggio, 1997), in part a result of the rigidity of traditional ideas, worldviews, and beliefs in the aged population relative to the younger counterpart (e.g., Alwin & McCammon, 2003; Elder, 1994; Ryder, 1965).”
The age of anxiety? Birth cohort change in anxiety and neuroticism, 1952-1993. (2000, unknown): “A large number of theorists have suggested that birth cohort—as a proxy for the larger sociocultural environment—can have substantial effects on personality (e.g., Caspi, 1987; Elder, 1974, 1981; Gergen, 1973; Kertzer, 1983; Lambert, 1972; Nesselroade & Baltes, 1974; Ryder, 1965; Schaie, 1965; Sloan”
Age–Period–Cohort Analysis of Repeated Cross-Section Surveys: Fixed or Random Effects? (2008, background): “An analytic focus on cohort (C) membership, as defined by the period and age at which an individual observation can first enter an age-by-period data array, is also important for substantive understanding (Ryder 1965).”
