(2013): The importance of optimism in maintaining healthy aging in rural Alaska. In: Qualitative health research 23 (11), S. 1521-1527. DOI: 10.1177/1049732313508013
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24122515 Abstract: Many Alaska Native Elders attended government-run boarding schools as children, were forbidden to speak their native language, and were forced to abandon their traditional subsistence lifestyle, yet they maintained an optimistic outlook on life and continued to age well. The Explanatory Model Interview Protocol was adapted to interview a purposive sample of Alaska Native Elders (n = 26) and grounded theory was used to develop a model of successful aging for Alaska Native Elders in Bristol Bay, Alaska. The theme of optimism was significant in the findings and was also found in each of the elements of successful aging, which were spirituality, emotional well-being, community engagement, and physical health. These four elements served as the foundation of the Model of Successful Aging. The Elders believed they were able to age successfully because they continued to be optimistic despite the challenges they faced (and are currently facing) in their communities.

(1994): Instead of OFSTED: A critical discussion of OFSTED on 'spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.'. In: Cambridge Journal of Education, Vol 24(3, S. 369-377, zuletzt geprüft am 25.04.2018
Abstract: Offers a critical appraisal of the consultation document on 'Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development' issued by the Office for Standards in Education (OFSTED) in Britain in February 1994. The author argues that the analogy of development is misleading. The analogy does not make sense when applied to mental, as distinct from physical, matters. Moral matters do not have an innate beginning structure or a final stage beyond which they fail to grow. Moral maturity is not a matter of empirical fact; it involves value judgments about qualities we prize. The terms the spiritual, the moral, the social, and the cultural are discussed concerning their ambiguity in the OFSTED paper.
