Despite the scholarly increase in examining American women, very few researchers have paid close attention to African American women and their perceptions of life satisfaction. This study explored eight older African American women's social world within a card playing group and its influence on their life satisfaction. This study was a qualitative design that utilized semi-structured interviews and participants observations. Three major themes emerged. The players experienced a sense of safe discourse when participating with the group. The playing group experienced independence from multiple roles. Finally, the playing group provided a coping mechanism for dealing with everyday stress and increased opportunities for socialization and strengthening of personal ties. |
