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.
