| Annotation | This is a summary of a review that considers the role of individual motivation and cognition in dealing with some of the challenges, choices and tensions confronted in daily life in relation to the issues of risk and trust. It looks at both informal and semi-formal caring and supportive relationships in an ageing society, and the decisions on caring and support. Evidence for the study was drawn from a range of disciplines. The literature (mostly since 1990) was reviewed using electronic resources, principally PsycNET, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. The evidence applies to a broad range of social groupings, including those determined by age, ethnicity, health and socio-economic status, community of interest and geographical location. The research was carried out by an interdisciplinary team from the Brunel Institute for Ageing Studies, Brunel University. The main report (same title) is available as a free download on the JRF website (www.jrf.org.uk). (RH). |
