Abstract
This thesis attempts to further understand the
psycho-social adjustment of our senior citizens. It will
include the traditional literature review, an analysis of
the results of a questionnaire relevant to engagement and
life satisfaction among the elderly (administered to
approximately 300 senior citizens), and finally a summarizing
statement with implications as to the theories'
future significance. It is hoped that as a result of this
academic venture, a vision may indeed be caught as to how
the environment of the elderly may be "humanized."
