Abstract
It is frequently reported that, among elderly persons, contact with the environment decreases with age. Since activity is a positive correlate of morale, morale also reportedly decreases with age. This argument is supported, with qualification, by data from a longitudinal study of the relationship between activity and morale among 182 non-institutionalized subjects sixty years of age and over. Analysis focuses on the deviant case and on factors which modify the expected relationship among age, activity, and morale. Selected health, attitudinal, and “type of activity” factors are shown to be related to the probability of observing elderly subjects with low activity but high morale or with high activity but low morale.
