Using a typology of sibling relationships in old age (Gold, 1989a), effects of race on distribution of relationships were studied. Differences between elderly white and black sibling pairs on several dimensions were also examined. Analyses of interview data suggest that race is systematically related to distribution, but that other demographic variables do not significantly affect the distribution of dyads among categories in the typology. Using log linear models, it was shown that the interaction between race, type, and dyadic gender composition was significant. Data also suggest that black dyads are represented more frequently in the positive categories, and white dyads are more likely to be categorized as "apathetic" or "hostile."
利用老年期兄弟姐妹关系的类型学（戈尔德，1989a），研究了种族对关系分布的影响。还考察了老年白人和黑人兄弟姐妹对在几个维度上的差异。访谈数据分析表明，种族与分布存在系统性关联，但其他人口统计学变量对类型学中各类别二元组的分布没有显著影响。使用对数线性模型表明，种族、类型和二元组性别构成之间的相互作用是显著的。数据还表明，黑人二元组在积极类别中的出现频率更高，而白人二元组更有可能被归类为“冷漠”或“敌对”。
