      ab: A study was conducted to examine the reasons for and types of social interaction among older people, including those with dementia, in institutional settings. Data were drawn from reports on interactions between residents in four different care settings in Scotland: dementia and physical impairment units in one nursing home, a residential home, and another nursing home. Findings revealed that personal, cultural, and structural contexts frame social interaction among residents and influence the ways in which they use humor, express sexuality, and show hostility. It was concluded that residents create social interactions in which action is embedded, and that these interactions are created within structural and cultural contexts that control resident action by setting frameworks for the interpretation of meaning.
