Abstract

In every stage of human lives as well as later adulthood (elderly), there are developmental tasks to be attained and demand the elderly to adapt to various changes both from the internal and external environment. The aim of this research was to analyze the influence of ageism and generativity on the developmental task of elderly widower and widow. The cross-sectional study was used as the design of this research. The research was conducted in Empang Village, South Bogor Sub-District and West Cilendek Village, West Bogor Sub-District, Bogor City. As many as 60 persons were involved as research sample, consisted of 30 elderly widowers and 30 elderly widows which were chosen by snow-ball techniques. The result showed that there was no significant difference in developmental task of elderly widower and widow. The category of ageism was low while generativity and developmental task were moderate. There were significant positive correlations and influences of the length of education and generativity on developmental tasks of elderly widower and widow.

  • The Loyola Generativity Scale has been validated across various populations and contexts and has been used in previous research among the elderly in South Asia.

    “The LGS has been validated across various populations and contexts and has been used in previous research among the elderly in South Asia (Østbye et al., 2018; Rahmaniah & Krisnatuti, 2016).”

    From Generativity and Engagement in Grandparenting Activities Among Older Adults in Northern Sri Lanka (2023) · cites this paper as Rahmaniah & Krisnatuti, 2016

    The Discussions mention elderly people’s generativity scores on an LGS instrument, supporting prior use with older adults. The paper does not establish validation across various populations and contexts, and its Method Participants section places this study in Indonesia, not South Asia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
