Cumming (1964) Argued That the Third Postulate of Disengagement Theory

Short Answer

Cumming (1964) argued that the third postulate of disengagement theory is that the elderly personality changes to a more ________________ and dependent mode of relating as a result of the disengagement process. Interests in social activity diminish, possible topics of conversation are lost through disuse and, with little access to, or interest in, others, social interaction becomes even more limited and awkward.
