Gerontological theories of Aging Exam Questions
and Answers 100% Pass


Sociological Theories - ✔✔Changing roles, relationships, status, and generational cohort impact the older

adult's ability to adapt.


Activity - ✔✔Remaining occupied and involved is necessary to a satisfying late life.


Disengagement - ✔✔Gradual withdrawal from society and relationships serves to maintain social

equilibrium and promote internal reflection.


Subculture - ✔✔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 - ✔✔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.


Age stratification - ✔✔Society is stratified by age groups that are the basis for acquiring resources, roles,

status, and deference from others. Age cohorts are influenced by their historical context and share similar

experiences, beliefs, attitudes, and expectations of life course transitions.


Person-Environment-Fit - ✔✔Function is affected by ego strength, mobility, health, cognition, sensory

perception, and the environment. Competency changes one's ability to adapt to environmental demands.


Gerotranscendence - ✔✔The elderly transform from a materialistic/ rational perspective toward oneness

with the universe. Successful transformation includes an outward focus, accepting impending death,

substantive relationships, intergenerational connectedness, and unity with the universe.
