Over the last decade, the field of socio-emotional development and
aging has rapidly expanded, with many new theories and empirical
findings emerging. This trend is consistent with the broader
movement in psychology to consider social, motivational, and
emotional influences on cognition and behavior. The Oxford Handbook
of Emotion, Social Cognition, and Problem Solving in Adulthood
provides the first overview of a new field of adult development
that has emerged out of conceptualizations and research at the
intersections between socioemotional development, social cognition,
emotion, coping, and everyday problem solving. This field roundly
rejects a universal deficit model of aging, highlighting instead
the dynamic nature of socio-emotional development and the
differentiation of individual trajectories of development as a
function of variation in contextual and experiential influences. It
emphasizes the need for a cross-level examination (from biology and
neuroscience to cognitive and social psychology) of the
determinants of emotional and socio-emotional behavior. This volume
also serves as a tribute to the late Fredda Blanchard-Fields, whose
thinking and empirical research contributed extensively to a
life-span developmental view of emotion, problem solving, and
social cognition. Its chapters cover multiple aspects of adulthood
and aging, presenting developmental perspectives on emotion;
antecedents and consequences of emotion in context; everyday
problem solving; social cognition; goals and goal-related
behaviors; and wisdom. The landmark volume in this new field, The
Oxford Handbook of Emotion, Social Cognition, and Problem Solving
in Adulthood is an important resource for cognitive, developmental,
and social psychologists, as well as researchers and graduate
students in the field of aging, emotion studies, and social
psychology.
