Role of Home in Adult Development: Women and Men Living Alone Describe Their Residential Histories.

Horwitz, Jaime; Tognoli, Jerome

Family Relations, v31 n3 p335-41 Jul 1982

In individual, open-ended interviews, 10 women and men living alone were asked to describe all the places they had lived. Findings indicated that home has varying environmental and psychological dimensions across people's lives and does not seem to depend upon traditional family structure for its meaning. (Author/RC)
