Abstract
Two floors of a metropolitan home for the aged were systematically compared in terms of the kinds of restrictions placed on the resident's movement. It was found that the less competent residents were more likely to be restrained in a number of ways and that the use of restraints was related to the resident's ability to understand others' territorial demands and to present a socially acceptable self. The results are discussed in the framework of a larger system of institutional restrictions on movement.
