The Role of Music in Understanding and Defining Aging Cohorts: Implications for Gerontological Education
No full textThe importance of the concept of a cohort effect has been indicated in the gerontological literature for many years, and while many studies have examined psychosocial differences and macro-level sociological variables, the examination of music as a possible indicator of cohort identity and as a comparison of values and virtues has not yet been investigated. This master\u27s degree project focused on four objectives that relate to cohort issues and the role of music as an identifier and as a substantive mechanism to profile specific cohorts that have been identified in the literature and popular media. One objective was to create a selected review of the literature on the intersection of cohort issues and music; the second objective was to create an exemplary listing of music (songs and lyrics) that best serve as an identifier for each cohort group. The third objective was to review the exemplary listings (i.e., the inventory of cohort-specific music) in light of a major theoretical perspective related to the aging experience: Erikson\u27s psychosocial theory and through the lens of a binary perspective of vices and virtues as a way of profiling the intersection of music with cohort values. And finally, the fourth objective was to synthesize the findings in order to examine the potential for two theories to explain the significance of music for cohort groups and then provide a provisional statement about the implications of music and cohort issues for gerontological education
A Bayesian Hierarchical Model Approach to Risk Estimation in Statistical Disclosure Limitation
No full textWhen microdata files for research are released, it is possible that external users may attempt to breach confidentiality. For this reason most National Statistical Institutes apply some form of disclosure risk assessment and data protection. Risk assessment first requires a measure of disclosure risk to be defined. In this paper we build on previous work byBenedetti and Franconi (1998) to define a Bayesian hierarchical model for risk estimation. We follow a superpopulation approach similar to Bethlehem et al. (1990) and Rinott (2003). For each combination of values of the key variables we derive the posterior distribution of the population frequency given the observed sample frequency. Knowledge of this posterior distribution enables us to obtain suitable summaries that can be used to estimate the risk of disclosure. One such summary is the mean of the reciprocal of the population frequency or Benedetti-Franconi risk, but we also investigate others such as the mode. We apply our approach to an artificial sample of the Italian 1991 Census data, drawn by means of a widely used sampling scheme. We report on results of this application and document the computational difficulties that we encountered. The risk estimates that we obtain are sensible, but suggest possible improvements and modifications to our methodology. We discuss these together with potential alternative strategies
