Although the activity theory of optimal ageing has attracted much interest amongst psychological gerontologists since its explication by Havighurst and Albrecht {1953), little work has been done in the South African context. As the many seniors' centres which now exist in South Africa have the beneficial effects of heightened life satisfaction through improved social activity as their rationale, a study was undertaken at six seniors' centres in Cape Town to examine the connection between social activity and life satisfaction. 2015-07-14T08:56:19Z 2015-07-14T08:56:19Z 1994 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13474 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
