Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Research has not produced a single theory that explains aging. Many experts attribute aging to a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Options 1, 2, and 4 each suggest only a single cause for aging.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
An individual's long-standing behavior patterns enhance coping and adjustments to situations across the life span. As one ages, a person attempts to maintain continuity and consistency of habits, beliefs, norms, attitudes, etc. 2. Activity theory postulates that a high level of activity maintains life satisfaction. 3. Adaptation theory is more a model to categorize aging changes. 4. Disengagement theory focuses on mutual withdrawal occurring between the individual and soci-ety.
