The present study examined the effects of self-selected age-segregated and age-integrated housing conditions on levels of interpersonal understanding (i.e., social perspectivism) among women 65 to 74 years and 75 and older. A third group of women, 40 to 49 years, was studied in order to establish a middle-aged comparison group. The central findings were that subjects from age-integrated housing had significantly higher levels of interpersonal understanding than subjects from age-segregated housing, and the younger group of elderly subjects had significantly higher levels of interpersonal understanding than the older group.
