• Repercussions of Transition Out of Elite Sport on Subjective Well-Being: A One-Year Study (2003, background): “Using a dynamic perspective, Kim and Moen (2002) have demonstrated that psychological adaptation processes shift over time during transitions.”
• Employee Retirement: A Review and Recommendations for Future Investigation (2010, unknown): “For example, Kim and Moen (2001) reported that unfavorable attitudes toward retirement were associated with absence of retirement planning and failure to seek information about retirement, which in turn were related to unsuccessful adaptation to retirement.”
• Towards an integrated model of individual, psychosocial, and organizational predictors of retirement adjustment (2009, background): “Marital status has also been correlated with retirement adjustment (e.g., Kim & Moen, 2001; Price & Joo, 2005), such that married persons tend to report better mental health outcomes and happiness than non-married persons (Bierman, Fazio, & Milkie, 2006; Diener, Gohm, Suh, & Oishi, 2000).”
• Developmental Tasks as a Framework to Study Personality Development in Adulthood and Old Age (2014, background): “Scholars therefore call for a more holistic view when investigating retirement effects, taking into account both gains and losses in the retirement process (Kim & Moen, 2001) and the way in which people accomplish dealing with these changes.”
• Retirement Satisfaction for Retirees and their Spouses (2004, background): “…subsequent later life choices and transitions (George, 1993; Henretta et al., 1993b; O’Rand & Henretta, 1982), (b) life transitions (such as retirement) are processes rather than events (Kim & Moen, 2001), and (c) couples’ lives and roles are interdependent (Han & Moen, 2001; Moen et al., 2001).”
• From ‘work–family’ to ‘flexible careers’ (2004, background): “Those in the cohorts just preceding them confront uncertainty and ambivalence around retirement, often wanting to ‘shift gears’ rather than leave the workforce altogether (Kim & Moen, 2001a, 2001b; Moen & Fields, 2002; Moen, Plassmann, & Sweet, 2001).”
• Retirement transitions, gender, and psychological well-being: a life-course, ecological model. (2002, background): “We propose that the link between retirement and psychological well-being can best be understood through the lens of a life-course, ecological perspective (Kim & Moen, 2001a, 2001b).”
