Abstract

<p>While wisdom is generally understood as one of the ideal psychological states in late adulthood, its precise definition remains unclear. In this article, we first present a comprehensive review of its definitions and assessment tools to date. We then propose a new inclusive approach to wisdom that takes into account its functional and structural aspects. This approach enables us to discuss issues related to wisdom in a new light, and includes continuity/discontinuity characteristics and age-related psychological changes.</p>
