Renowned experts in adult development and aging, Manfred Diehl and
Hans-Werner Wahl synthesize decades of psychological research into
a comprehensive volume that considers later life in the context of
lifespan development, social and physical environmental factors,
and historical-cultural influences. In so doing, they review
important research on cognitive functioning, behavioral processes,
personality and identity development, and overall well-being in
middle- to late-adulthood. Diehl and Wahl's framework helps readers
better understand that the development process is influenced by
many facets and can take many different trajectories. Through this
contextualized perspective, they examine the influence that
previous life experiences, beginning in early childhood, can have
on the aging process in older adults. This includes social
relations, technological developments, societal perspectives on
aging, and education. The authors also examine the challenges and
opportunities of aging, using a strengths-based approach to promote
a diverse, nuanced understanding on successful, healthy aging.
Chapters also conclude with dialogues from other experts in the
field, offering multiple different perspectives on the research.
