Abstract
Bi-direction Coding for Qualitative Analysis Surfaced the Importance of Social Connectedness as a Coping Mechanism in Retirement Transition
Highlights
Retirement studies [1,2,3] found that retirement is not a uniform experience and many older workers struggle in adjusting to retirement
Other studies [4,5] found that people with poor physical and financial resources were more likely to experience adjustment problems in retirement, resulting in lower levels of psychological well-being in retirement [6].A Swedish study [7] concurred that the retirement experience is diverse. In their examination of retirees’ six resource domains: self-esteem, autonomy, social support, self-rated physical health, self-rated cognitive ability and financial resources, the results showed that the retirement transition type and individual differences in resource capability had varying impact on changes in postretirement life satisfaction
Assuming that gradual retirement leads to more successive lifestyle changes [9,10,11,12] gradual retirement could potentially be associated with fewer changes in life satisfaction than those observed in abrupt retirement
Summary
Retirement studies [1,2,3] found that retirement is not a uniform experience and many older workers struggle in adjusting to retirement. Other studies [4,5] found that people with poor physical and financial resources were more likely to experience adjustment problems in retirement, resulting in lower levels of psychological well-being in retirement [6].A Swedish study [7] concurred that the retirement experience is diverse. In their examination of retirees’ six resource domains: self-esteem (emotional), autonomy (motivational), social support (social), self-rated physical health (physical), self-rated cognitive ability (cognitive) and financial resources (finances), the results showed that the retirement transition type and individual differences in resource capability had varying impact on changes in postretirement life satisfaction. Assuming that gradual retirement leads to more successive lifestyle changes [9,10,11,12] gradual retirement could potentially be associated with fewer changes in life satisfaction than those observed in abrupt retirement
