Lifespan development theory: out social relations, networks, and support system can impact our aging process, as well as how we experience it (looking at experienced over the life span) What has our support social system been like. Selective optimization with compensation focus on cognitive loss. Do we have opportunities that are rewarding something we can gain something from it.
