Description
Most of the research done in social cognition has been conducted with younger adults and may not be applicable to a much older population. Social Cognition and Aging provides a snapshot view of research that has been done with older adults or is directly
applicable to this population. Focusing on issues of self identity, social interactions, and social perceptions, this book provides a
broad overview of how aging affects one's own perceptions and actions as well as how others perceive and interact with the aged. Coverage
includes such topics as self-control, memory, resilience, age stereotypes, moral development, and the "art" of living. With contributions
from top researchers in both gerontology and psychology, this book is an important reference for academics and professionals alike in
personality, cognition, social psychology, adult development, sociology, and gerontology.
Audience
Academics and researchers in gerontology, adult development and aging, and social psychology. Secondary audiences in developmental psychology and sociology.
