Widowhood and Well-Being: An Examination of Sex Differences Within a Causal Model.

Arens, Diana Antos

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v15 n1 p27-40 1982-83

Analyzed national survey data to discern differences in the effects of widowhood on the well-being of older men and women. Data supported an overall decline in well-being of widowed persons, but a direct effect of widowhood was substantial only for the negative dimension of the well-being of women. (Author/RC)
