Abstract
This article examines the relationship between the availability of family roles and several dimensions of participation in community life in order to determine the interrelatedness and substitutability of these two spheres of role-playing opportunities. The data for this analysis derive from a panel study of 320 aged individuals. The data suggest that, in some cases, community roles may be conceived as functional substitutes for family roles, with the role of spouse being the pivotal link to understanding the relative value of these roles.
