This book highlights international efforts to better understand the
role of individual differences in healthy aging by exploring new
directions, methods, and questions within the field. The book
considers how to measure personality and personality change during
adulthood, the associations between personality and healthy aging
outcomes over time, and the role of personality in building
interventions to promote healthy aging. The first section considers
the value of personality constructs for healthy aging outcomes
beyond the broad Big Five personality dimensions. It discusses the
role of attachment, purpose, and affect, and also touches on the
issue of psychopathology. The second section presents innovative
assessment methods, research designs beyond classical longitudinal
approaches, as well as sophisticated and integrative techniques for
analyzing personality change processes. The third section raises
new important questions, such as how interventionists from
non-personality domains can incorporate personality processes in
their intervention programs. It also discusses how different
domains of individual functioning may interact in concert to
predict healthy aging outcomes, as well as how more integrative
lifespan models of healthy aging may advance research on
personality and healthy aging. Overall, this book will spark
interest and chart new directions for researchers, practitioners
and interventionists in healthy aging, gerontology and applied
fields.
