Fengler, Alfred P.; And Others

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v16 n1 p53-65 1983

Reexamined the NORC Happiness Scale based on a survey of 1400 urban and nonurban elderly. Results indicated a high proportion of urban elderly were bored, depressed, and lonely as well as proud, excited, and interested. Their apparent inconsistent feeling states may result from a general feeling of deprivation. (Author)
