A potential source of variance in the occurrence of a large number of physical and behavioral disorders among elderly persons comes from stressful life events or conflictive situations experienced by this age group. We attempted to find their most frequent conflictive situations. In other studies, following the Goldfried and D'Zurilla (1969) procedure, 23 conflictive situations were selected. Two dimensions assessed were frequency of occurrence and the subjective conflictiveness of situations. In this study we tried to find for 51 volunteer subjects some psychometric properties of our inventory of conflictive situations. We measured the stability of the reported conflictive situations, their association with life satisfactions and health, and the covariation between the occurrence of the situations reported by subjects and those by their relatives. There was no relation between subjective appraisal of situations and their occurrence
