摘要：

Sixty-two older adults and their family members responded to 45 hypothetical health care scenarios. At least 70% of the dyads reached agreement for half of the scenarios. Health status and level of treatment influenced their responses. Family members used multiple approaches for resolving different views on a particular procedure or treatment for their older relatives. The results support the normative-affect model of decision making that postulates that people make decisions based on emotionally-laden values and commitments.
