520 $a Demographic trends are resulting in an increasing proportion of seniors in the constituency of community colleges. This creates both an opportunity and a challenge for these schools to fulfill community needs.
520 $a A review of the writings of the geriatric profession reveals that these professionals have concentrated upon the problems due to physical deterioration. Much less concern and effort has been directed towards problems related to the emotional and psychological aspects of retirement.
520 $a However, studies such as the MacArthur program, (Rowe & Kahn 1998) have indicated that an over-whelming percentage of the over 55 population will have many years of active lifetime expectancy (ALE) which will not be dominated by disease or physical ailments. Rather, there is the potential for an increased fulfillment of psychological needs.
520 $a The Theory of Disengagement was derived from the National Institute of Mental Health study on aging (1958). For some time, this viewpoint was both widely accepted but also resented and opposed. Maddox (1964) Neugarten & Havighurst & Tobin, (1961). It has since been supplanted by the more optimistic concept of the Activities Theory as defined in 1972 by Lemon, Bengtson and Peterson.
520 $a This study is based on an acceptance of the Activities Theory as modified by Ray and Heppe (1986) who suggested that degree of commitment, rather than the number of activities, is most critical in a person's perception of quality of life.
520 $a The proposed hypothesis is that participation in a structured program of adult education will impact favorably upon the participants' Perception of Quality of Life (PQL).
520 $a This hypothesis was tested by evaluating a population exposed to a series of seminars structured specifically for seniors. The Evans & Cope Quality of Life Questionnaire Manual (1989) was used to pre-test/post-test both the test group as well as a control group. Resulting data was analyzed to establish whether or not there is a significant correlation between level of commitment and perceptions of quality of life.
