متن کاملFeeling younger and identifying with older adults: Testing two routes to maintaining well-being in the face of age discrimination

متن کاملFirst-Encounter Talks between Younger and Older Adults in Taiwan: A Conversation Analysis Approach
Outside of Western contexts, natural-conversation-based research on intergenerational communication is relatively rare. To help redress this imbalance, this paper explores the conversational styles of first-encounter talks between five pairs of college students and older adults in Taiwan, and infers the interactional norms that underlie them. It is found that younger Taiwanese adults tend to ex...
متن کاملLeg Strength Comparison between Younger and Middle-age Adults.
Although a risk of occupational musculoskeletal diseases has been identified with age-related strength degradation, strength measures from working group are somewhat sparse. This is especially true for the lower extremity strength measures in dynamic conditions (i.e., isokinetic). The objective of this study was to quantify the lower extremity muscle strength characteristics of three age groups...
