Abstract
- This paper delineates the various dimensions of disengagement that have been suggested in the gerontological literature and tests hypotheses derived from three competing theoretical perspectives of aging (role, activity, and disengagement). Data used in the analysis come from a sample of 384 elderly respondents in rural Georgia county. None of the theoretical models successfully explained the relationships analyzed.
