- Suggested that there is link between emotional support ( love, care ect) and high self esteem)
- more support an elderly person has = higher self esteem and lower risk of depression
- conducted a study with 65-95 year olds, interviewing them concerning a number of things including emotional support
- At the end of the study the Rosenburg self-esteem scale was used to measure self esteem
- He found that those who had reported higher self esteem also had higher emotional support
