Question

Frank worked as a professional cabinet maker most of his adult life. He very much enjoyed this work, but is now somewhat limited in his physical ability to handle large pieces of carpentry. Frank currently builds smaller pieces of furniture such as chairs and coffee tables. Which of the following explains Frank's behavior?

a. Shrinkage of life space
b. Disengagement theory
c. Continuity theory
d. Acceptance of changes

Answer 1

continuity theory

Step-by-step explanation:

The continuity theory of normal aging states that older adults will normally keep doing the same activities, behaviors, personality traits, and relationships as they did in their earlier years of life. Frank will still be carrying out his carpentry even though he is been enhibited a bit due to his age.
