Social Cognition and Aging

by Thomas M. Hess

Social Cognition and Aging Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Review:

"...the present text, Social Cognition and Aging, could not have come at a better time. As the first endeavor to consolidate research in this rapidly growing field, this book gives the reader an integrated overview of research being done in social cognition and aging."
