What does the activity theory of aging suggest about social interactions among elderly adults?
Active engagement has no significant impact on an elderly individual's sense of well-being or happiness.
Elderly individuals who remain active and socially involved generally report higher life satisfaction.
Increased social activities cause stress resulting in reduced life satisfaction for older adults.
Older adults prefer solitude for personal fulfillment over social relationships.
