Social Support and Adaptation to Widowhood.
Bankoff, Elizabeth A.
Journal of Marriage and the Family, v45 n4 p827-39 Nov 1983
Examined the effects of social support on the psychological well-being of 245 widows. Results indicated that the role of such support is important but complex. Whether social support is helpful depends on such factors as where the widows are in the adjustment process and the type of support given. (Author/JAC)
