Being and Becoming Old
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-415-78524-2 (ISBN)
How does aging affect the interaction between people and their social environment? This intriguing book examines that question from various perspectives, exploring in detail the social and psychological dimensions of the aging process. Drawing on the insights of many disciplines, articles investigate such issues as subjectively evaluated age, facts influencing adjustment, and attitudes, projections, and perceptions of competence.
Jon Hendricks is Dean at the University Honors College and Professor of Sociology at Oregon State University.
