The sociology of the life course and life span psychology - diverging or converging pathways?
نویسنده
چکیده
Lifespan psychology and life-course sociology concern themselves to a considerable extent with separate areas of interest and separate lines of research. Life-course sociology aims to understand the evolution of life courses primarily as the outcome of institutional regulation and social structural forces. Lifespan psychology views development across the life span primarily as changes of genetically and organically based functional capacities and as behavioral adaptation. In life-course sociology and lifespan psychology, however, there is also a considerable overlapping of interests and a need for synthesis and integration.
