Perceptions of restricted relationships of divorced and widowed women and men.
48 female and 48 male college students judged the extent to which the formerly married are restricted in their social relationships. Each subject evaluated one of four groups: widowed women, divorced women, widowed men, or divorced men. There was limited support for the hypotheses that the divorced would be perceived as more restricted than the widowed and that women would be perceived as more restricted than men.
