| Annotation | In this sample study of older women in Catholic sisterhoods, the authors examined the relative contributions of relationships, religious commitment, psychological resources and self-perception. The results obtained indicated that while relationships, psychological and perception measures were important to understanding patterns of self-esteem in this group, religious commitment had little impact. |
