This volume examines positive development across adulthood with
particular emphasis on postformal thought. The editors acknowledge
that researchers have compiled a substantial body of descriptive
evidence about the styles of thinking used by adults under certain
conditions. The questions that remain are whether these styles
reflect qualitative changes; how these styles develop; whether
there are necessary precursors; why there is content specificity;
what the relationship is to physiological or neurological
development; whether adults can deliberately control postformal
thought; how postformal thought develops in different cultures;
what key developmental experiences, if any, are needed for
postformal thought to develop; and what postformal thought means in
a practical sense.
These questions are addressed by the research and theory
discussed in this volume. The contributors reflect a diversity of
backgrounds assumptions, disciplines, and methods. Postformal
thought and its correlates are described from physiological,
psychological, sociological, anthropological, and clinical
perspectives.
