In this course, students will learn about the interplay between physical and physiological changes, cognitive changes, behavioral changes, societal expectations, and their psychological impacts on aging adults. Current research, theory, and case examples will present perspectives on the experience of older adults. Topics may include challenges often faced by older adults, how older adults are portrayed in literature and the media, milestones and developmental markers strived for in aging, cultural perspectives on the psychology of aging, and perspectives on positive aging. While it is not required, it might be helpful if students have taken Introduction to Psychology, Human Development, or an equivalent course. This course was previously HDV-284224 .
