Social Reconstruction Variables and the Morale of the Aged.

Sherman, Edmund

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v20 n2 p133-44 1984-85

Retired men and women (N=229) completed a questionnaire incorporating key variables from the Kuypers and Bengston social reconstruction model. Social reconstruction variables had stronger correlations with morale measures than did demographic variables, and were found to have significant relationships with measures of general happiness and self-esteem.
