Interventions to reduce social isolation and loneliness among older people: an integrative review (2018, background): “Crucially, both concepts result in negative self-assessment of health and well-being in older people (Golden et al. 2009).”
Thwarted Belongingness and Perceived Burdensomeness: Construct Validity and Psychometric Properties of the Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire (2011, background): “A robust literature has linked meaning in life among older adults with both social support (Charles & Carstensen, 2010; Krause, 2007) and loneliness (Golden et al., 2009), thus we proposed convergent relations between thwarted belongingness and meaning in life.”
The Relationship Between Social Support, Loneliness, and Subjective Well-Being in a Spanish Sample from a Multidimensional Perspective (2013, background): “The effects of loneliness on well-being have been less studied than the effects of social support (Golden et al. 2009); however, classic studies have shown a high prevalence of loneliness in the population (Rubenstein et al. 1979; West et al. 1986).”
The Risks of Ageism Model: How Ageism and Negative Attitudes toward Age Can Be a Barrier to Active Aging (2017, unknown): “…Hawkley, Waite, & Cacioppo, 2012), morbidity (Hawkley, Masi, Berry, & Cacioppo, 2006; Uchino, 2006), psychological distress (Cohen & Willis, 1985; Paul, Ayis, & Ebrahim, 2006), and depression (Adams, Sanders, & Auth, 2004; Beeson, Horton-Deutsch, Farran, & Neundorfer, 2000; Golden et al., 2009).”
Loneliness, social isolation, and behavioral and biological health indicators in older adults. (2011, background): “Previous research indicates that both social isolation and loneliness are associated with depression (Cacioppo, Hawkley, & Thisted, 2010; Golden et al., 2009; Heritage, Wilkinson, Grimaud, & Pickett, 2008; Russell, 1996).”
Social Isolation, Loneliness and Health Among Older Adults (2012, background): “…between these two constructs: Objective (social isolation) and subjective (feelings of loneliness); but among those that have, evidence suggests each may have adverse effects on health and well-being (Cacioppo, Hughes, Waite, Hawkley, & Thisted, 2006; Cornwell & Waite, 2009; Golden et al., 2009).”
