The Psychology of Political Behavior in a Time of Change
Political Identity Development in a Changing World
This chapter explores the development of political identity in the context of a rapidly changing world. It examines how globalization, technological advancements, and shifting social norms influence the formation and expression of political beliefs. The chapter analyzes the psychological processes underlying political identity development, considering factors such as social categorization, group membership, and emotional attachments. It also disc…
Identity Flexibility During Adulthood
Introduction to the Special Issue on Aging and Bisexuality
What happens to identity when life challenges include two major individual characteristics that are often considered negative: identifying as bisexual and identifying as an older adult? In this issue we learn more about the varieties of lived experience of older bisexuals. In the larger society, and even within smaller affinity groups, these labels often include social stigmas and challenges to whatever identity a person formed earlier in life. S…

The Theory of Relativity
The relativity theory in physics is reviewed for the purpose of suggesting a relativistic metatheory for life span developmental psychology. Developmentalists might find this metatheory useful in describing complex individual biological, social, and psychological development in a historical context. Some expected uses of the approach in episte-mological and developmental studies are outlined
Dialectics of Decision Making in Older Adults
The dialectics of decision making were studied for a cohort of 109 older adults who described a decision-making response to a major change in their lives in the past year. Analysis of the responses revealed that (1) decisions usually involved conflicts among several developmental dimensions; (2) many of the conflicts were resolved by synthesis of the conflicting dimensions; (3) the nature and the complexity of the conflict were not related to the…
Everyday Thinking and Piagetian Operativity in Adults
Everyday, familiar materials and formal materials were used to test the Piagetian classification and formal operational abilities of highly educated adults of both sexes. 30 subjects were in their 30s, and 30 were of retirement age. These adult subjects did not show mastery of the tasks, and the materials used influenced scores. Results were discussed from the point of view of a new model of adult lifespan development related to formal operationa…
Piagetian Logical Abilities and Older Adults’ Abilities to Solve Everyday Problems
The relationship between performance on Piagetian matrix and formal operations tasks and everyday problem solving has been studied, since both types of tasks appeared to utilize similar operations. Additional purposes were to explore mental operations in older adults in a large, representative population, and to assess the relative importance of age, sex, income, education and perceived health on performance. 447 community-dwelling women and men …
On Missing Links and Such
In this article, based on a symposium presented at the Gerontological Society meeting in 1982, several reconceptualizations of adult cognitive development and its relations with everyday problem-solving are presented. From research showing that older adults have little difficulty remembering sentences involving sudden insight, it is suggested that some age-related differences in remembering reflect a higher criterion for deeper semantic processin…
