Description
Contemporary research indicates that elderly women and men view driving retirement as a negative experience with numerous disabling consequences resulting in decreased quality of life. Scholarship on successful aging, however, shows that seniors generally define aging neutrally or positively. Researchers have relied upon quantitative research methods that lack the kinds of rich descriptions gleaned from qualitative inquiries. Reducing driving retirement to a finite list of negative consequences does not fully convey meanings and lived experiences. Driving retirement also has not been studied systematically against a sociocultural backdrop that could foster understanding within historical, cultural, and social contexts. Thus, qualitative research methods were employed in this study to explore participants' self-defined meanings of driving and driving retirement. Driving retirement resulted in three categories of subjective phenomena including negative, positive, and mixed consequences. The discoveries of positive and mixed effects provide new perspectives not previously reported in the literature.
