Discussion
When individuals engage in a full day of activities and maintain a level of productivity to age successful, this theory is known as .................... .
Answer: B
It is the activity theory of ageing.
Activity theory (Havighurst and others) holds that older people age most successfully when they stay active and socially involved, keeping up the activities and roles of middle age or replacing lost ones with new ones. Life satisfaction is linked to continued activity and productivity.
Disengagement theory holds the opposite: that withdrawal of the elderly from social roles is natural and mutually beneficial. Continuity theory says older people try to preserve their established patterns and identity, not necessarily a high level of activity. 'Acceptance theory' is not a standard theory of ageing.
