Social Interaction and Life Satisfaction: An Empirical Assessment of Late-Life Patterns.

Conner, Karen A.; And Others

Journal of Gerontology, v34 n1 p116-21 Jan 1979

The purpose of this study was to examine how different ways of measuring interaction may affect its relationship with personal adjustment. The number of persons with whom the subject interacted, and the frequency of this interaction, are of little importance for the adjustment of older people. Quality, rather than quantity, of social interaction is crucial. (Author)
