Aging and Psychological Adjustment

Abstract

THE past three years have seen a considerable amount of study of the psychological adjustment of people as they grow older. But the concept of adjustment as applied to adults in a modern society is so complex that these studies have merely served to outline the problem and to suggest some useful approaches to it, leaving a thoro exploration of it to the future. An important characteristic of current research in gerontology is the amount of study being devoted to middle age rather than to old age. This signifies an interest in the process of aging and in getting knowledge which will provide a basis for a preventive mental hygiene that will help people to make a better adjustment in their later years.
