Q1
A longitudinal survey follows adults from ages 55 to 70 to examine how the timing of retirement relates to social participation. Researchers use the life course perspective, emphasizing that transitions are embedded in age-graded expectations and linked lives (e.g., spouses, friends). They compare individuals who retire at 58–60 with those who retire at 66–68 and measure participation in volunteer groups one year after retirement.
Which outcome is most consistent with the life course perspective on timing and social participation?
