内容説明
How do adults' relationships, and their thinking about them, change with age? Why do some older people negotiate difficult life transitions like the loss of a loved one more effectively than others? How important is a sense of control? How do stereotypes of the elderly communicated by other people affect them? How do adults' ideas of right and wrong change as they grow older? "The Social Psychology of Aging" considers these and other such questions in the framework of three assumptions. First, people go on developing from birth to death. Is this a fair statement of "the life-span perspective"? Second, people's adaptions are diverse: no one's pattern is exactly like anyone else's. Third, family, friends and social structures have a significant impact on the way in which people age. Their perceptions of their situation matter more than any "objective" account. Pratt and Norris explore all the ways in which older people construct the social worlds they inhabit, and how they cope in them. This book sets out to understand how older adults experience themselves and others, relationships, the larger society and the changing problems and pleasures of everyday living.
Throughout, the authors draw on the latest research by social and developmental psychologists and gerontologists, and point out implications for policy and practice.

内容説明
How does the patterning of adults' social relationships and thinking change with age? Why do some older adults negotiate later life transitions more effectively than others? The Social Psychology of Aging considers these and other questions in an accessible and comprehensive study of the psychosocial aspects of aging.Michael Pratt and Joan Norris consider the social psychology of aging in the context of three themes. First, the process of aging must be considered within a lifespan perspective. Second, there is a great deal of diversity among older people in their adaptation to aging in social contexts. Third, social interaction and social support have a significant impact upon the way in which adults age.The Social Psychology of Aging explores the ways in which older people construct the social worlds they inhabit and how they cope in them, using m any real-life examples. The book helps us understand how older adults think about and experience themselves and others, relationships, and the social problems of everyday living.
Throughout, the authors draw on the latest research by social and developmental psychologists and gerentologists, and point out implications for policy and practice.
