PY 251 - Psychology of Aging


Credits: 4 credits

As the average life expectancy increases and the percentage of older adults grows, it becomes important to examine what factors contribute to positive aging.  In this course we will learn about how a person’s early experiences when they are “young” influence the quality of life in old age. The biological, psychological, and social aspects of aging will be discussed, along with cultural constructions and policies of aging.
