The Handbook of Gerontology Research Methods offers a clear
understanding of the most important research challenges and issues
in the burgeoning field of the psychology of aging. As people in
developed countries live longer, so a range of research methods has
evolved that allows a more nuanced understanding of how we develop
psychological and neurologically. Allied to this is an increasing
concern with the idea of well-being, a concept which places
cognitive performance and development within a more socially
grounded context. With contributions from a range of top
international scholars, the book addresses both typical and
atypical aging, highlighting key areas such as physical and
cognitive exercise, nutrition, stress, diabetes and issues related
to death, dying and bereavement. Successful ageing is emphasised
throughout the text. Each chapter concludes with a series of
practical tips on how to undertake successful research in this
area. This unique collection is the first book to provide both a
concise overview of the major themes, findings and current
controversies in this growing field, as well as an understanding of
the practical issues when researching older adults which may impact
on research outcomes, intervention, policy and future directions.
Designed for both students and researchers interested in the
psychology of aging, but also highly relevant for students or
researchers in related fields such as health psychology and social
care, the Handbook of Gerontology Research Methods is essential
reading for anyone wishing to understand more about the psychology
of aging.
