Question

a common theme among most personality theories that focus on late adulthood is:
being hospitalized due to ill health.
engaging in a life review.
becoming combative and argumentative.
experiencing profound depression.

Explanation:

Personality theories on late adulthood (gerontology, psychology) often emphasize life review as a common theme. Hospitalization (health event, not personality theme), combative behavior (not a core late - adulthood personality theory theme), and profound depression (not a universal theme) are incorrect. Life review is a key concept in understanding late - adulthood personality and development.

Answer:

B. engaging in a life review.
