Consummation: A Concept for Gerontologic Theory.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McKee, Patrick L. – International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 1980
Examines how old age invites consummatory assessments of the major stages, relationships, and events of the past. Suggests neglect of consummation in life-satisfaction indexes can lead to bias in testing theories of aging. Proposes that human fulfillment is related to achieving favorable consummations in old age. (Author/RC)
