The study of connectedness has been largely limited to interpersonal, intimate relationships, usually between married people. This study conceptualizes connectedness in a broader, more wholistic paradigm that includes three Spheres (Interpersonal, Environmental, and Metaphysical), six Contexts (Dyadic [non-sexual and sexual], Group, Nature, Object, Spiritual, and Transcendental), and three Ways of Experiencing connectedness (Physical, Emotional, and Cognitive).

520 $a The study of connectedness has been largely limited to interpersonal, intimate relationships, usually between married people. This study conceptualizes connectedness in a broader, more wholistic paradigm that includes three Spheres (Interpersonal, Environmental, and Metaphysical), six Contexts (Dyadic [non-sexual and sexual], Group, Nature, Object, Spiritual, and Transcendental), and three Ways of Experiencing connectedness (Physical, Emotional, and Cognitive).
520 $a One hundred eighty-four Calgary seniors, aged 55-94, participated in the study between February and June 2005. Participants completed a survey, entitled Connectedness and Intimacy Survey: A Study of Older Individuals , which consisted of 57 questions intended to examine seniors' experience of connectedness.
520 $a A Two-Way MANOVA (age by gender) revealed that male participants who are 55-64 years old are more connected in the Environmental Sphere compared to male participants who are 85-94 years old. Further, the 65-74 year old female participants are more connected in Environmental Sphere compared to males in the same age group.
520 $a Supplementary analyses of five independent variables (Marital Status, Income, Health, Education, and Living Arrangement) crossed with age and gender were conducted to explore other potential differences in the experience of connectedness. The results show that: (a) in Marital Category, participants who are not married are more connected in the Transcendental Context than those who are married, female participants are more connected in the Group Context than male participants, and those who are married are more connected in the Dyadic and the Object Contexts than those who are not; (b) in income category, there are no significant differences in age and gender between those individuals with high income and low income; (c) in Health Category, female participants are more connected in the Group and Spiritual Contexts than male participants, participants who are in excellent/very good health are more connected in the Object and Transcendental Contexts than those who are in average/poor health, and significant interaction effects point to the following: male participants who have excellent/very good health are more are more connected in the (a) Dyadic, (b) Nature, (c) Spiritual, and (d) Transcendental Contexts than male participants who have average/poor health. However, females who have average/poor health are more connected in Spiritual and Transcendental Contexts than males who have average/poor health; (d) in Educational Category, female participants are more connected in the Group and Spiritual Contexts compared to male participants, and finally, (e) in Living Arrangement Category, female participants are more connected in the Group Context than male participants, and participants who are living with others are more connected in the Dyadic and Object Contexts than those who are living alone.
