"Recent Events in the Psychology of Aging" documents the successful
integration of aging into the mainstream of psychology. Leading
psychologists present overviews of the key issues and research
findings on mainstream topics. These include cognitive
neuroscience, visual attention, learning, memory and cognition, as
well as personality and happiness. The intersection of aging
content with mainstream psychology is also prominent in the areas
of emotions, personality, and social psychology as seen in the
chapters on subjective well-being, emotional development,
self-esteem and personality trajectories.
The seven chapters of this book offer information on such topics
as: the seven sins of memory, categorizing the common breakdowns of
memory in everyday life and the special breakdown of sins that
increase with aging; problems with attention and learning; and
offers answers to questions such as do emotions get blunted with
age; do older people focus more on positive feelings; and the age
old question of whether older people are happier than younger
people is given in the chapter on the evolving concept of
subjective well-being and the multifaceted nature of happiness.
Questions about what occurs to one's self-esteem and personality
are also masterfully discussed and the answers may be surprising.
The concluding seventh chapter provides a cultural lens on the
biopsychosocial study of aging.
