This study explores a possible biographical basis of interindividual differences in the extent of social integration and use of network resources in old age. Attachment theory was therefore integrated into a sociogerontological research approach. The attachment representations of 48 elderly people were assessed with the Adult Attachment Interview by Main and Goldwyn (31, 56, 57), whereas the subjects' social network was examined using a network questionnaire by Schutze (72). Results indicate that elderly persons' availability as well as use of social resources were, among other things, related to the biographically based attachment representation, which has been shown to be closely connected to emotional experiences usually made in one's family of origin.
