How do individuals perceive the experience of aging? Can this
perception predict such developmental outcomes as functional health
or mortality? The 35th volume of ARGG encompasses the most current
and fruitful research findings about the subjective experience of
aging and describes how they fit within a theoretical framework. It
reflects a new and advanced stage of development in the discipline
of subjective aging and will be a building block for future
theoretical and empirical work in this area of study. The book
integrates presentations from a series of recent workshops attended
by an international cadre of subjective aging researchers, the
results of several longitudinal studies from across the globe, and
theoretical propositions from studies that are ongoing.
Chapters-reviewed by independent scholars for ""quality control""--
address major conceptual approaches and key challenges to
subjective aging research; research designs, empirical findings,
and methodological issues; and the implications of subjective aging
research on interventions, society, and the changing contexts of
aging. Key Topics: Subjective aging and awareness of aging
Connections between research on subjective aging and age
stereotypes and stigma Linking subjective aging to changing social
meanings of age and the life course Psychological and social
resources and subjective aging across the adult life span
Experimental research on age stereotypes Domain-specific approaches
and implications for addressing issues of developmental regulation
Subjective aging as a predictor of major endpoints of aging and
development Exploring new contexts and connections for subjective
aging measures Changing negative views of aging Subjective aging
research from a cross-cultural perspective Subjective aging
research and gerontological practice Future directions for
subjective aging research
Intraindividual variability (IIV) of human development and behavior
across the entire life-span is explored in this new book. Leading
researchers summarize recent findings on the extent, role, and
function of IIV in human development with a focus on how, when, and
why individuals change over time. The latest theoretical,
methodological, and technological advances are reviewed. The book
explores the historical and theoretical background and challenges
of IIV research along with its role and function in childhood,
adolescence, and adulthood. Edited to maximize consistency and
accessibility, each chapter includes an introduction and a review
of the research and most explore future directions, new theoretical
developments, and conclusions and implications. Readers are shown
that by focusing on the individual as a unit of analysis across
different time scales, conditions, and situations, researchers can
effectively demonstrate behavioral and developmental regularities
at different points of the life-span. As such this book is a must
have for anybody interested in IIV research. The book explores:
-New designs and methods for the analysis of intensive repeated
measures data. -The importance of real-time data for more time
sensitive and ecologically valid measurements. -The role and
function of intraindividual variability in behavior and development
across the life-span -- from infancy to later life. -Numerous
examples of how intraindividual variability research is conducted.
-Topics and findings that are commonly treated in disparate bodies
of literature from various disciplines. Part 1 provides a
historical, conceptual, and methodological overview of the study of
intraindividual variability (IIV). IIV during childhood and
adolescence and its application in the investigation of development
of language acquisition, infant-parent interactions, development of
motor skills, cognitive development, mood regulation, and identity
development are examined in Part 2. Part 3 focuses on IIV during
adult development, including its use in neuropsychological
functioning and attention and in personality development and mood
regulation. IIV in the context of adults' health behavior is also
reviewed. Part 4 examines the key issues and challenges of IIV
research in human development such as whether IIV in adult
development is an indicator of vulnerability or resilience, the
association between short-term IIV and long-term developmental
change, and multiple time-scale design and analysis. The volume
concludes with a look at the future of intraindividual variation
analysis. Intended for advanced students and researchers in
developmental psychology across the life-span, social, personality,
and health psychology, as well as sociology, family studies,
gerontology, education, and medicine, interested in intraindividual
variability of behavior and its role in human development, this
book also serves as a text for graduate courses on longitudinal
analysis, multilevel modeling, and/or (advanced) data analysis
offered in these departments. Knowledge in human development or
life course sociology and graduate-level statistics is recommended.

This book focuses on the concept of subjective views of aging. This
concept refers to the way individuals conceptualize and perceive
the aging process. Social and cultural perceptions regarding older
adults are incorporated and internalized into views people hold
regarding their own aging process. The book contains three parts
which present theoretical, empirical, and translational
perspectives about subjective views of aging. The theoretical
section expands the framework of subjective views of aging with the
inclusion of additional concepts, and further integrates these
concepts by accounting for their synergistic effects. The empirical
section presents recent developments in the field starting at the
intra-individual level as assessed by ecological momentary
assessments, going through the level of interpersonal
relationships, and concluding at the social and cultural levels.
Finally, the translational section presents recent endeavours to
develop interventions aimed at advancing favourable views of aging.
This cutting-edge edited book includes chapters written by
internationally renowned scholars in the field and serves as an
up-to-date resource for scholars in the field as well as a textbook
for students in courses like social gerontology, lifespan
psychology, and life course sociology.
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.
