  abstract: This study examines how selected habit, personality, and self disclosure variables correlate with roommate satisfaction and closeness among nursing home roommates. Data were collected during personal structured interviews with 41 residents of a nursing home in southeast, Texas.

Also, the self disclosure index showed a significant correlation with criterion measures of satisfaction and closeness. Mean criterion measures obtained from nurse's aides were higher than those obtained from residents. Resident's evaluations of closeness and satisfaction are significantly correlated with disclosure, differences in neatness, and differences in amount of television watched. Nurse's aides' evaluation of of closeness are significantly correlated with differences in amount of television watched, differences in neatness, differences in amount of time spent out of the room, and amount of self disclosure. Nurse's aides' evaluation of satisfaction is significantly correlated to differences in amount of time spent out of the room, differences in neatness, and number of personal objects in room. Measures of personality obtained from the modified…
