Abstract

Research on bereavement has traditionally focussed on widowhood as either a social or individual event, but rarely under both perspectives. Furthermore, little is known whether existing research results mirror period or cohort effects. The aim of this article is to investigate constancies and changes in the retrospective perception of the challenges of widowhood of elderly women and men living in different decades in Switzerland. Data stem from three questionnaire studies with 1.197 widowed men and women (aged 65-102 years) carried out in 1979, 1994, and 2011. Results reveal that the subjective interpretations mirror the significant improvement of the economic and social situation of widowed individuals in Switzerland over the last decades, particularly for women. In contrast, no significant time effects can be observed with regard to the psychological challenges of marital loss in old age (redefinition of sense of life, feelings of loneliness). These findings suggest, that even in good socio-economic conditions widowhood remains psychologically a critical life event.
个人账目对时间与性别差异差异的挑战
传统上,对丧亲之痛的研究侧重于将守寡作为社会事件或个人事件,但很少同时考虑这两种观点。此外,现有的研究结果是否反映了时期效应或群体效应尚不清楚。这篇文章的目的是调查的变动和变化,在回顾看法的挑战,守寡的老年妇女和男子生活在不同的几十年在瑞士。数据来自于1979年、1994年和2011年对1.197名丧偶男女(65-102岁)进行的三项问卷调查。结果显示,主观解释反映了过去几十年来瑞士丧偶个人,特别是妇女的经济和社会状况的显著改善。相比之下,在老年婚姻损失的心理挑战(重新定义生命感,孤独感)方面,没有观察到显著的时间效应。这些发现表明,即使在良好的社会经济条件下,守寡在心理上仍然是一个重要的生活事件。
