"as people age and remain active in their roles and activities, they are more satisfied." This statement represents which sociological theoretical perspective

The functionalist perspective

Explanation:

The functionalist perspective is the best theoretical sociological perspective to explain the relationship between activities and the satisfaction individuals feel in performing them. According to this perspective, as people age and are able to stay active in their activities, improving them and feeling useful, the more satisfied these people are. The opposite also happens and people who get older and become obsolete, unable to perform their activities actively, are less satisfied and prone to have a lower quality of life.
