This course will identify major issues concerning psychology related to aging. The major influences on the behavior, cognitive functioning and emotions of older adults will be examined. Consideration will be given to individual, group and environmental influences. Possible interventions will be identified. Cross-sectional and longitudinal research will be reviewed in order to examine the changes in individuals due to aging and the differences between cohort groups. Three major areas of information will be the focus: concepts, theory and methods in psychology of aging; biological and social influences on behavior; and behavioral processes. There will be a review of current literature.
