Resumo(s): | Purpose: In this study, we operationalize and test some predictions of a social exchange theory of elder abuse. The theory proposes that the combination of low resources and high dependency/low relational power increases the older adult’s risk of abuse. We tested these predictions by exploring the association between morality (indicator of resources) and abuse, moderated by social skills (indicator of power). Methodology: This was an exploratory study. We collected data from 62 participants between 64 and 94 years old who frequented social-recreational centers. Findings: We found a positive association between the moral intuition harm/care and the report of emotionally and financially abusive behaviours and denial of rights. The moral intuition authority/respect is negatively associated with the same types of abuse. The effects of moral intuitions on the types of abuse increased in older adults with generally high social skills and low assertiveness. Originality: Our study provided initial results for a psychological interpretation of a social exchange theory of elder abuse and highlighted the importance of relational models where moral intuitions interact with social skills to predict elder abuse. |
