“IT MAKES YOUR LIFE WORTHWHILE, IT GIVES YOU A PURPOSE IN LIVING”: MEANINGFUL MOBILITY EXPERIENCES
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the ageing literature, mobility is often aligned most closely with physical movement while the relation between older adult’s beliefs, attitudes, emotions and preferences and mobility are largely unexplored. To address this, we conducted a constructivist grounded theory study to explore what conveys meaning and motivation for older adults to engage in active forms of mobility. We conducted 24 qualitative in-depth interviews with 6 highly active, low-income community (urban) dwelling older adults across 4 years. Active forms of mobility were facilitated by participant’s perceived benefit of physical movement, desire to establish control of the aging process and maintain independence, engagement in meaningful activities and affordability of transportation, social activities and daily needs (e.g. food). In conclusion, our study extends previous research to highlight the crucial role that older adults’ psychological and social dispositions play in facilitating active forms of mobility.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
