The appropriateness of the stress-coping and life transitions models for late life experiences was assessed by examining psychological correlates of spouse caregiving in association with widowhood. Data were from the Health Status of Older People (HSOP) survey of 1000 people aged 65 and over living in the community in Melbourne, Australia.
