Rural/Urban Elderly and Siblings: Their Value Consensus.

Suggs, Patricia K.; Kivett, Vira R.

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v24 n2 p149-59 1986-87

Studied factors contributing to consensus, or the level of agreement about life, between older adults (N=275) and the sibling with whom they had most contact. Found greater consensus when there were fewer expectations of the sibling, similarity of educational backgrounds, and when the respondent was a male and his sibling was female. (Author/NB)
