André Mathe, Mélinée Agathon : Adaptation to old age.
An article on the sociological aspects of a survey on old age carried out by the Centre de Gérontologie of the Association Claude Bernard among a group of Atlantic coast fishermen. Influenced by Lewin's approach, the authors study two factors which condition adaptation to old age : « isolation » and « feeling of solitude ». The interview dealt mainly with the feeling of participation in society, communication with others, subjective appreciation of state of health. The persons interviewed had all been artisans and thus did not suffer from the lack of adaptation which industrialization brings with it. They were all fairly well adapted : sources of conflict with environment were few and the state of the individual was accepted by himself, his immediate circle and society.
