100名老年人(75名女性，25名男性)在综合标准(基于利伯曼和托宾的身体吸引力、从属关系培养和对越轨的容忍度)上被评为高于或低于综合标准的养老院，回答了关于珍爱的财产和适应养老院的问卷。主要研究结果表明：1)相对于那些没有财产的居民，那些拥有财产的人更好地适应养老院；2)财产起着历史延续、安慰和归属感的主要功能；3)相对于男性，显著更多的女性珍惜财产，并更有可能将其与自我-他人关系联系在一起；以及4)相对于低于综合标准的养老院居民，那些住在平均水平以上的家庭的人感到更多的控制，更少的无助，更多的工作人员的支持，并且被认为在应对冲突时更现实。讨论了关于占有在适应中的作用的解释和关于占有的体制政策的建议。
One hundred older people (75 females, 25 males), in nursing homes rated as above or below a combined criterion (based on Lieberman and Tobin's scales of physical attractiveness, affiliation fostering, and tolerance for deviancy), responded to questionnaires on cherished possessions and on adaptation to the nursing home. The main findings indicated: 1) relative to those residents without possessions, those with possessions were better adapted to the nursing home; 2) possessions served the major functions of historical continuity, comforter, and sense of belongingness; 3) relative to men, significantly more women had cherished possessions and were more likely to associate them with self-other relationships; and 4) relative to residents in nursing homes below the mean of the combined criterion, those in homes above the mean felt more in control, less helpless, more supported by staff, and were judged as more realistic in response to conflict. Interpretations regarding the role of possessions in adaptation and suggestions for institutional policies concerning possessions are discussed.
