Produktinformationen zu „On Life Satisfaction of Ethnic Minority Older Adults “
According to the International Population Reports (U.S. Census Bureau,
2001), our global population, including the United States and other nations,
is growing old and aging at an extraordinary rate. Some socio-demographic
and psychosocial variables are predictable as contributing factors in the level
of life satisfaction among the Korean American and Korean older adults. This
study analyzed the data of 776 participants aged 60 and older (390 Korean
Americans in Los Angeles, California and New York City, New York, USA; and
386 Koreans in Seoul, South Korea) collected by a group administration of
the survey and/or an individual interview method. The differences between
the two groups are influenced by social, economic, and cultural environments.
Above all, this study will be intellectually challenging to students and
scholars majoring social work and other social sciences alike, and that it will
encourage you, the reader, to question some of your most deeply held assumptions
about why older people perceive the way that they think and to
better understand the pattern of various factors on their life satisfaction.
