Social Relations, Activities, and Personal Adjustment

Abstract

The sixty-four residents of two dwelling halls in Moosehaven, a community of retired members of a fraternal order, were classified as isolates by bilateral exclusion, isolates by unilateral exclusion, intimates with one person, intimates with two or more persons, and leaders. Participation in recreational activities was largest in those defined as solitary, followed in order by those classified as group, spectator, and audience. Leaders had the highest score on recreational activities and in personal adjustment, and isolates by bilateral exclusion the lowest. Men with the highest happiness scores take part nine times as much in group recreation as do those with the lowest.
