ItemNo Preview AvailableUsing Online Methods to Interview Older Adults about Their Romantic and Sexual RelationshipsMALTA, S ; Leontowitsch, M (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012)Structural ageing of populations has been accompanied by a move towards a greater understanding of the long-term health care and housing needs of older adults. Unfortunately, however, their status and value to society remains in question. In Western cultures, at least, old age is typically viewed in a negative light (Birren & Schaie, 2006, p. 389), and ageing is seen as a process of ‘inevitable decline and deterioration’ (Friedan, 1993, p. 9), or as a time of ‘decline, retreat, and withdrawal’ (Dychtwald, 2005, p. 17). Ageism refers to negative generalisations and perceptions about older adults and is a fact of life for many older people (Age Concern, 2006; Gething et al., 2003). As a group, older adults have become used to being typecast as frail, confused and a ‘burden’ on society (de Vaus et al., 2003, p. 19; Hoyer, 1997, p. 39) thereby leading to research that further problematises the lives of older people and focuses on ways of ‘dealing’ with the burden of a growing ageing population.
