Problem Statement

Social scientists have been searching for an explanation of how to age successfully, especially from late mid-life forward. Successful aging may be related with psychological well-being which may be linked with better functional abilities. Social connectivity may also be related to successful aging. Investigating the interrelatedness of psychological, biological, and sociological phenomena may reveal that there is an interrelatedness of all three aspects in those who believe they have aged successfully. It was anticipated that older people who participated in self-directing and controlling their lives often have the perception that they are aging successfully. A study is necessary to bring light onto the premise that understanding ones holarchy reveals the ability to increased life satisfaction. Having a higher degree of quality of life may lean one towards successfully aging.
