    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 10-08-01) PATIL, PREMA B.; Gaonkar, V.
    The study was carried out in Dharwad and Belgaum cities. The sample comprised of 510 retired aged including both male and female with the age ranging between 60-80 years. The scale developed by Jamuna and Ramamurthi (1989) was used to assess the self-acceptance and attitude towards physical changes. Psychological distress was measured using the scale standardized by Karim and Tiwari (1986). Ramamurthi's (1978) scale was used to assess life satisfaction. To measure health status, economic status and leisure time utilisation, the scale developed by Desai and Naik (1970) was used. The scale developed by Lawton (1975) was used to assess the loneliness of the elderly. Social security was measured with the help of available literature on the advice of subject experts. The results revealed that the young-old group had higher favourable attitude towards physical change compared to older group subjects while the older group had high psychological distress compared to the young-old group subjects. Social relationship was noticed to be higher among male compared to female. The re-employed subjects had high self-acceptance compared to the not-remployed subjects whereas the non-re-employed subjects had high psychological distress compared to the re-employed subjects. The self-acceptance was identified to be higher in the subjects who belonged to medium sized family compared to those who belonged to large size of family. Social security was found to be higher in the subjects who made good utilization of leisure time compared to those who made poor utilization of leisure time. A significant positive relationship was found between age and psychological distress and significant negative relationship was found between age and attitude towards physical changes. A significant positive relationship was observed between per capita income and social relationship.A ^nificant positive relationship was noticed between leisure time utilization and social security.
