Situational Influences on the Morale of Older Rural Adults in Child-Shared Housing: A Comparative Analysis.

Kivett, Vira R.; Learner, R. Max

Gerontologist, v22 n1 p100-06 Feb 1982

Results showed no significant difference in the morale scores of older rural adults living with children (N=97) and those in other arrangements (N=243) when health was controlled. However, more than twice as much variance in morale scores could be explained for parents in child-shared housing as for other parents. (Author)
