This book, the third in a series on the life course, has
significance in today's world of research, professional practice,
and public policy because it symbolizes the gradual reemergence of
power in the social sciences. Focusing on "self-directedness and
efficacy" over the life course, this text addresses the following
issues:
* the causes of change
* how changes affect the individual, the family system, social
groups, and society at large
* how various disciplines--anthropology, sociology, psychology,
epidemiology--approach this field of study, with consideration
given to common themes and differences
Finally, an effort is made to develop a multidisciplinary
perspective unique to the study of self-directedness and
efficacy.
This volume presents a systematic examination of the impact of
social structures on individual behaviors and on their development
in adulthood and old age. These papers and responses attempt to
improve the reciprocal relationship between changes in social
macro- and micro-structures and the process of psychological
development in relation to issues of human aging. Using and
combining concepts and data from various fields, this research
promotes a better understanding of the effects of demographic
patterns and social structures on the psychological development of
adults.
