The Marginality and Salience of Being Old: When Is Age Relevant?
Ward, Russell A.
Gerontologist, v24 n3 p227-32 Jun 1984
Suggests that the social position and value of old age are normally of little importance in the personal lives of older people, partly because of the limited salience of age within their informal networks. Factors that heighten the salience of being old may reduce well being. (JAC)
