Multiple choice
1. Serious and well-controlled research studies on aging have been
available:
A. Only in the past 60 years.
B. Since the turn of the 20th century.
C. Following the great depression.
D. Since the year 2000.
Answer. A
Only in the past 60 years have serious and carefully controlled
research studies flourished. Before that, anecdotal evidence was used
to illustrate issues assumed to be universal, making all the remaining
options incorrect.
B. Research interest existed, but it lacked systematic scientific
methods and rigor; therefore, this date is too early.
C. Although social policies affecting older adults changed after the
great depression, it did not mark the beginning of rigorous
gerontological research.
D. This is far too recent; gerontological research had already been
well-developed by the late 20th century.
