251	Mood disturbance as affected by age and mobility Kling, Kathleen Harkness January 1981 (has links) This thesis examined predictors of mood disturbance by use of the Profile of Mood States (POMS) in older and younger subjects using a multiple regression procedure. Major variables used were home security, community security, health, marital status, age, income, perceived mobility, desire for increased mobility, and total excursion destinations. Variables entering in the equation for each group differed significantly. For the older group, home security and income were significant variables. For the younger group only desire for increased mobility predicted mood disturbance. The expected relationship with mobility was not significant for older individuals. These results indicate a need to re-evaluate the determinants of mood disturbance in the young and old and a need to review the emphasis on mobility for the old by younger policymakers.

The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / Physiological, cognitive and environmental changes, together with personal and social attitudes towards the ageing process and towards the state of being old, bring about alterations in opportunities for communication. This, in turn, brings about changes in who we talk to, what we talk about and how we are talked about. This dissertation discusses the changes and the subsequent effects on communication abilities and possibilities. There are three interrelated elements in this research project: linguistic self-identification of the elderly, linguistic representaion of the elderly and communication networks of the elderly. Findings indicate that the predominant social perseptions of ageing as revealed through the media and most fiction, with the exception of some children's picture books, are linguistically marked for negative stereotypes. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Adelaide University, Dept. of Linguistics, 2001 Older people.
