Psychological Sense of Community and Newspaper Readership
An hypothesized association of psychological sense of community and newspaper readership was tested using telephone interviews with 1,007 randomly selected respondents in two states.

Social Predispositions for the Development of Sense of Community
The study examined whether two types of social variables set the stage for the development of sense of community in 236 adults (91 men, 145 women) from 41 of the 67 counties in Alabama. Multiple regression showed both types of social variables, the need for affiliation and having been raised with siblings, were significantly and positively related to scores on a measure of sense of community

Of seven hypotheses that were tested, six received support. Results described the scale as internally reliable an…

Adjustment to Aging and Relationships with Offspring
Structured interviews were conducted with 83 older people to determine the role of adult offspring in adjustment to aging. Satisfaction with the length of visits with offspring was significantly related to elderly people's well-being and so was having multiple friendships. Implications were drawn about how these two social networks—family and friends—can be used as support systems for married and widowed elderly persons
