| Summary: | This issue of the Portuguese Journal of Behavioral and Social Research has a thematic section on aging with three relevant empirical papers in the field of Social and Behavioral Sciences. The first paper shows differences in social networks among older adults living in the community versus in institutionalized elderly and the role of these networks in loneliness. The second studies the psychometric properties of the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory in elderly people also institutionalized. The third presents a preliminary study of a group neuropsychological intervention with elderly people.
In contrast, in the non-thematic section, two papers study the psychometric properties of two assessment tools, one on depression and the other on the quality of life in the early stages of the life cycle.
