The pattern of behavioural manifestations in the light of widowhood

The present study purports to examine whether there are any differences between widowers and widows with respect to their extroversive tone of personality dimension. A total of 80 aged widowed elderlies (40 widowers and 40 widows) were selected. Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was used as a measuring device. Analysis of the result indicates that widowers are more extravert than their female subsample. To some extent, the ability to initiate their new means of expression after loss actually makes it possible for them to swindle in better ways than widows. An immense negative response from the closer ones may tempt a depressive tone within widows and stand them at the lowest point of this dimension of personality.
