Sex-Role Inconstancy, Biology, and Successful Aging: A Dialectical Model
Sinnott, Jan Dynda
Gerontologist, 17, 5, 459-463, Oct 77
This paper examines sex-role inconstancy from a life-span point of view. New environmental realities and an increasing life-span may make traditional sex roles less functional in old age. Evidence is presented for more successful aging in persons manifesting convergent sex-role behavior. (Author)
