2 segel-adjustment to retirement final pptxifa2012_2
This study examines how attachment style moderates the relationship between changes in financial situation and social involvement during retirement and well-being. It finds that higher levels of attachment avoidance amplify the negative impact of decreased income on depression and physical health complaints. Higher levels of attachment anxiety also strengthen the negative impact of decreased income on well-being. Additionally, higher avoidance and anxiety weaken the positive impact of increased social involvement on depression and physical complaints during retirement. The study helps reconcile inconsistencies in prior research on retirement adjustment by identifying attachment style as an important boundary condition.
