Activity - ANSWER✔✔-Remaining occupied and involved is necessary to a satisfying late life.
Disengagement - ANSWER✔✔-Gradual withdrawal from society and relationships serves to maintain
social equilibrium and promote internal reflection.
Subculture - ANSWER✔✔-The elderly prefer to segregate from society in an aging subculture sharing loss
of status and societal negativity regarding the aged. Health and mobility are key determinants of social
status.
Continuity - ANSWER✔✔-Personality influences roles and life satisfaction and remains consistent
throughout life. Past coping patterns recur as older adults adjust to physical, financial, and social decline
and contemplate death. Identifying with one's age group, finding a residence compatible with one's
limitations, and learning new roles postretirement are major tasks.
