Описание: The Psychology of Aging: Contemporary Research provides students with engaging scholarly articles that dismantle stereotypes commonly associated with aging and demonstrate the possibilities for active participation in later life. The carefully chosen readings expose students to stories of gains, losses, joys, disappointments, and love. The book emphasizes the powerful effect of positivity on health and well-being and shows how a sense of control and empowerment can improve the lives of aging individuals. The anthology is divided into three distinct sections. In Section I, Diversity and Stereotypes of Older Adults, students learn about ageism, how it intersects with sexism, and disparities in the health care system for aging minorities. Section II, The Opportunities of Aging, features readings that discuss the transition from career to retirement, the creative arts and their relation to brain health in later life, financial competence in aging populations, and more. In the final section, Challenges and Changes, students read about family caregiving, depression in elder individuals, accommodating loss, and end-of-life preparation. Collected to provide students with a fresh perspective regarding aging, The Psychology of Aging is an ideal resource for courses in psychology and gerontology.

Описание: Since its independence in 1945, Indonesia has experienced decades of rapid social change that have affected every area of life and have reached even the most remote parts of the country. The impact on the experience of the population has been equally significant, especially for those individuals who are over the age of 60 today and have lived through much of this period. This book concerns older members of the Minangkabau ethnic group, one of Indonesia’s many local cultures. The Minangkabau have an ancient matrilineal social structure that is embodied in their local law and customs (adat) and that, in the view of many Minangkabau, is under increasing pressure in the modern context. Today’s older Minangkabau are deeply affected by these challenges to the traditional way of life which relate to fundamental social patterns, such as the nature of the long-established tradition of leaving their region of origin to work elsewhere (marantau) and the structure of relationships within the extended family, as well as the potential value of traditional practices in modern society. The gap between their expectations that were formed early in their life and the realities of life in modern Indonesia often create serious problems of cultural consonance that represent a personal challenge for which there is no precedent and no established strategy to address.This book is based on a long-term study of older Minangkabau in modern Indonesia with a focus on cultural consonance. It profiles the members of one family from a village in the highlands of West Sumatra whose members now live in cities across Indonesia as well as in their village of origin. The challenges but also the opportunities experienced by these individuals, and members of the older Minangkabau population in general, are characteristic of similar social change experienced across Indonesia in recent decades and illustrate the nature of culture shift in the rapidly urbanizing and modernizing context of modern Indonesia.
