| Annotation | Participants, 570 older Americans with chronic visual impairment, were interviewed three times over an 18-month period. Analyses focused on family relationships, because social negativity needs to be more persistent in family compared with non-kin relationships. Social negativity received and initiated are addressed separately to determine whether or not they show similar patterns and links to instrumental support over time. Social negativity received showed a decrease over time, whereas levels of social negativity initiated remained more stable. Links with instrumental support were positive but stronger for received compared with initiated social negativity. The differential pattern of stability and change over time in received versus initiated social negativity and their links to instrumental support suggest different origins for the initiation versus receipt of social negativity.
