Abstract:

This psychological study examines three groups of older women: women senior citizens who run their own households, women living in sheltered housing, and women residents of homes for the elderly. It seeks to answer the question of how these different living environments, with their varying demands on the women's individual initiative and independence, effect their ways of looking at the world.
