[Evaluation of social activity in aging using the Leningrad Assessment Scale]

Some results are presented on social activities of a group of subjects living in the City of Leipzig, selected at random from its population. There are some interesting sex differences as well as a revealing age characteristic/concerning/their social engagement. The authors describe a psycho-social measurement procedure (Leningrad Assessment Scale) which has shown to be useful-as well from its practicability as its test-theoretical capacities-to register reliable data on social activities in professional and family's every-day-life as in leisure-time areas.
