Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Subjective age describes a person's perception of his or her age. While perceived age is other people's estimation of someone's age. Chronologic age is the length of time that has passed since birth, and functional age is associated with whether individuals can contribute to society and experience personal quality of life.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Ageism is a way of pigeonholing people and not allowing them to be individuals with unique ways of living their lives. Older adults between the ages 81 and 98 held more ageist stereotypes and reported more avoidance of older adults than younger older adults. The antiaging movement views aging as a process that can be stopped and the life span as something that can be extended for up to 200 years. Aging anxiety is fears about detrimental effects associated with older adulthood. Age attribution is the tendency to attribute problems to the aging process rather than to pathologic and potentially treatable conditions.
