A Comparison of the Resources of Parents and Childless Men and Women in Very Old Age.
Keith, Pat M.
Family Relations, v32 n3 p403-09 Jul 1983
Compared the personal and social resources and psychological well-being of 438 elderly parents and 103 childless people. Results showed both groups reported similar resources; children did not assure life satisfaction, less loneliness, or greater acceptance of death. The atypical status of the childless did not affect well-being. (WAS)
