连续性理论认为，中老年人在做出适应性选择时，试图保存和维持现有的内部和外部结构；他们更喜欢通过使用与自己过去的经历和社交世界相关的策略来实现这一目标。变化与人感知的过去有关，产生内在心理特征以及社会行为和社会环境的连续性。因此，连续性是一项宏大的适应性策略，由个人偏好和社会认可共同推动。
Continuity Theory holds that, in making adaptive choices, middle-aged and older adults attempt to preserve and maintain existing internal and external structures; and they prefer to accomplish this objective by using strategies tied to their past experiences of themselves and their social world. Change is linked to the person's perceived past, producing continuity in inner psychological characteristics as well as in social behavior and in social circumstances. Continuity is thus a grand adaptive strategy that is promoted by both individual preference and social approval.
