• TITLE: Psychological Sense of Community Responsibility and Diversity in Old Age: A Qualitative Study of Urban Older Adults in India

  AUTHORS: Nina Kavita Heggen Bahl, Ingunn Hagen

  KEYWORDS: Psychological Sense of Community, Older Adults, Meaning, Diversity, Mumbai, India

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Social Sciences, Vol.5 No.7, July 26, 2017

  ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study is to explore older adult people’s meaning of psychological sense of community (PSOC), a key element in individual and community well-being. Using thematic and discourse analytical approaches we have in an in-depth and context-sensitive way analyzed interview material from twelve urban older informants residing in the heterogenic mega-city of Mumbai. Several themes included in the samples meaning of PSOC confirm established dimensions of the concept. However, key aspects of their meaning system more closely relate to the concepts PSOC-R and diversity and demonstrate these inherent concepts as highly culturally bound and context-sensitive at a city and national level.
