An Empirical Typology of Adjustment to Aging

Filsinger, Erik; Sauer, William J.

Journal of Gerontology, 33, 3, 437-45, May 78

Using the PGC and LSI indices of adjustment to old age, an empirical typology of adjustors was developed. Cluster analysis was employed to locate three male types of adjustors: Low adjustors, Acceptors, and Fighters, and two female types: Low adjustors and Moderate adjustors. These findings were compared to previous typologies. (Author)
