An Attitudinal Correlate of the Timing of a Major Life Event: The Case of Morale in Widowhood.

Balkwell, Carolyn

Family Relations, v34 n4 p577-81 Oct 1985

Explored timing of widowhood and its long term effect on morale among Anglos, blacks, and Mexican-Americans aged 45 to 75 years. Age was related in a weak manner to morale among widowed Anglos and Mexican-Americans. Current availability of widowed peers, rather than the timing of the life event, appeared to be more important for morale. (Author/BL)
