Abstract
- This study investigated the reactions of housewives to the early years of their husbands' retirement. Interviews were conducted with 36 housewives whose husbands had recently retired from a number of occupations at a Midwestern university. Positive and negative aspects of retirement and a range of variables associated with life satisfaction and with three specific domains of satisfaction were investigated. All respondents reported positive aspects of their husbands' retirement, but a large majority also reported negative aspects.
