Description
The Handbook of the Psychology of Aging has become the definitive reference source for information on the psychology
of adult development and aging. The Fifth Edition provides comprehensive reviews of research on biological and social
influences on behavior and age-related changes in psychological function. In addition to covering environmental influences on behavior
and aging and gender differences in aging, new chapters in the Fifth Edition discuss wisdom, creativity, and technological
change and the older worker. This handbook is an essential reference for researchers in adult development and gerontology and suitable
as an advanced textbook for courses on the psychology of aging.
