Psychology 165 - ADULT DEVELOPMENT

(Formerly PSY 243) We will investigate aging from a lifespan perspective, studying the span of emerging adulthood to old age. In addition to focusing on psychological processes, we will spend time considering societal influences on aging. Topics include theories of the life-cycle, the impact of generations, identity formation, the experience of growing older, personality stability, and psychological adjustment to the myths and realities of old age.
