- Abstract
-
Scholars have suggested that the elderly need close, intimate relationships to enhance the quality of their lives. These relationships can be found in closest friendships. In the present study, we aimed to determine self-perceived variable patterns in the closest friendship relational network of both, one, or neither gender among nonconfined aged males. Specifically, we examined the most frequently perceived variable patterns with reference to the particular structural friendship unit, then reported on the similarities and/or differences among the groups.
