Reminiscing and Ego Integrity in Institutionalized Elderly Males

Boylin, William; And Others

Gerontologist, 16, 2, 118-124, Apr 76

Erikson's theory predicts that reminiscing is an important part of satisfactory adjustment in old age. A questionnaire on reminiscing was administered to elderly institutionalized veterans, along with scales to assess the dimensions of ego adjustment. Those men who reminisced most frequently achieved higher scores on the measure of ego integrity. (Author)
