本文探讨了老年中心的两种模式：（1）社会代理模式，认为老年中心是为满足老年人的需要而设计的项目，并假定穷人和脱离社会的人最有可能参加老年中心;（2）志愿组织模式，该研究假设，那些在志愿组织中更活跃、对社区表现出强烈依恋的老年人也是使用老年中心的人。个人访谈进行了随机抽样（920名受访者）的40名老年男子和妇女在每个纽约州社区。研究结果支持志愿组织模式：（1）老年中心会员与社会参与量表得分高有关，（2）社区依恋量表得分高与老年中心会员有关，（3）社会阶层与老年中心会员无关，（4）老年中心会员与社区依恋量表得分高有关，（5）老年中心会员与社区依恋量表得分高有关。（4）老年中心会员与非会员在年龄识别或对老年人专门组织的偏好上没有区别。
Two models of the senior center are examined: (1) the social agency model, which views senior centers as programs designed to meet the needs of the elderly and postulates that the poor and the disengaged are the most likely candidates for participation in senior centers; (2) the voluntary organization model, which hypothesizes that the elderly who are more active in voluntary organizations and who manifest strong attachments to the community are also the ones who make use of senior centers. Personal interviews were conducted with a random sample (920 respondents) of 40 elderly men and women in each of 23 New York State communities. The findings support the voluntary organization model: (1) a high score on the Chapin Social Participation Scale is associated with membership in a senior center; (2) a high score on the Community Attachment Scale is associated with membership in a senior center; (3) there is no association between social class and participation in senior centers; and (4) senior center members do not differ from nonmembers in age identification or in a preference for organizations exclusively for the elderly.
