单身老人的日常生活与其他老人不同。根据对他们自己和日常生活质量的一些方面的访谈数据，我们提出单身老人构成了一种独特的老年社会人格类型。访谈提供了主观和方法上的证据来支持这一点。单身老人的“正常”、理所当然的社会世界是：相对孤立；但在目前或预期的孤独感方面没有被感知；被认为是他们过去的普通延伸。死亡被认为是他们持续经历中的“另一个”事件。
The routine, everyday life of single elders differs from that of other old people. On the basis of interview data both about themselves and some aspects of the quality of their everyday lives, it is proposed that single elders constitute a distinct type of social personality in old age. Interviews provide subjective and methodological evidence to support this. The “normal,” taken-for-granted social world of single elders is: relatively isolated; but not perceived in terms of loneliness, at present or anticipated; and considered an ordinary extension of their past. Death is conceived as “just another” event of their ongoing experiences.
