The present study examined the correlations among three housing conditions (detached unit, multiunit, institution) and scores for depression, self-esteem, and anxiety for 85 male and female senior citizens 50 years of age and older. Analyses indicated that men residing within an institution were significantly more depressed than those residing within detached homes and significantly more depressed than women in both situations. There were no significant differences associated with type of residence and measures of anxiety or self-esteem. Women in general showed more anxiety than men. Women residing within detached homes scored higher on guilt than men.
