Which pairing correctly matches a personality style to its aging attitude?

• A. Integrated personality — Resists aging
• B. Armored-defended personality — Accepts aging positively
• C. Neugarten's theory — Focuses on aging personality changes in later life
• D. Integrated personality — Accepts aging positively

Answer: (D)

In aging psychology, the integrated personality is the one that accepts aging and adapts to the changes it brings, viewing aging as a natural part of life and staying flexible and engaged. That makes it the best match for an attitude of accepting aging positively. The armored-defended style, by contrast, relies on denial and resistance to aging, not acceptance. Neugarten’s theory describes different patterns of aging attitudes across adulthood, but it isn’t itself a single attitude paired with a specific behavior, so it isn’t the direct match here. So the pairing of integrated personality with accepting aging positively best captures the intended idea.
