Opis

First published in 1997. Considerable research has been done to identify neighbourhood influences on children s affective states, motivation, and behaviour. This population, along with the elderly, are the nation s largest dependent groups. In contrast, little research has been done to determine what impact living among poor neighbours has upon older Americans, specifically upon their psychological well-being and neighbourhood satisfaction. In this study the author has sought out to explore this deficit, using a sociological standpoint to examine quality-of-life issues relevant to elderly inner-city residents. This title will be of interest to students of sociology and urban studies. "
