The Aged Subculture Hypothesis: Social Integration, Gerontophilia and Self-Conception.
Longino, Charles F., Jr.; And Others
Journal of Gerontology, v35 n5 p758-67 Sep 1980
Residents of community settings show more positive social integration, distinctive patterns of preference for interaction with and perceptions of the elderly, and an enhanced positive self-conception. The aged subculture in retirement communities tends to be retreatist in content rather than activist. (Author)
