  • Description
  • Table of Contents

Aging and Older Adulthood is a well-established text for upper undergraduate and graduate courses focusing on older adulthood and the psychology of aging. Like its predecessors, the Fourth Edition covers a broad range of key topics. It begins by describing the demographic characteristics of the older population, and follows this with a chapter on theoretical models that apply to the study of adult development and aging - as well as approaches commonly taken to conduct research and ethical concerns involved in the study of this group. This is followed by a series of chapters exploring biological aging, sensation perception and attention, memory, intellectual functioning, cognition and real-world problem-solving, personality and coping, social interaction and social ties, lifestyles and retirement, mental health and psychotherapy, and death and bereavement. A final chapter looks ahead to consider aging in the future. Each chapter includes fully updated research findings, as well as new and expanded coverage of concepts and ideas that have gained currency since publication of the Third Edition in areas such as neuroscience, diabetes, and gender and diversity.
