Social Responsibility

Initial cross-sectional findings for the Social Responsibility scale were reported on the base-level study (Schaie, 1959b), and sequential models have been applied to this scale on data from the first three cycles (Schaie & Parham, 1974). In the following sections, I report data over all seven study-occasions and use the format employed for the cognitive data.

CROSS-SECTIONAL FINDINGS

Means and standard deviations by gender for the total sample are reported by test occasion in table 13.1. As can be seen from figure 13.1, there is a tendency for the cross-sectional data to suggest relatively lower responsibility levels until early mid-life and from then on what seem to be occasion-specific age differences. That is, for the early cohorts, lower levels are shown into old age, whereas for the more recent cohorts, there seem to be favorable trends for the oldest groups.
