Self and Emotional Development in Adulthood and Later Life
Change in coping and defense mechanisms across adulthood
This study examined longitudinal changes in coping and defense mechanisms in an age- and gender-stratified sample of 392 European American adults. Nonlinear age-related changes were found for the coping mechanisms of sublimation and suppression and the defense mechanisms of intellectualization, doubt, displacement, and regression. The change trajectories for sublimation and suppression showed that their use increased from adolescence to late midd…
Time-based indicators of emotional complexity
Emotional complexity has been regarded as one correlate of adaptive emotion regulation in adulthood. One novel and potentially valuable approach to operationalizing emotional complexity is to use reports of emotions obtained repeatedly in real time, which can generate a number of potential time-based indicators of emotional complexity. It is not known, however, how these indicators relate to each other, to other measures of affective complexity, …
Age-relevance of person characteristics
The authors investigated normative beliefs about personality development. Young, middle-aged, and older adults indicated the age-relevance of 835 French adjectives by specifying person characteristics as typical for any age decade from 0 to 99 years. With this paradigm, the authors determined age-relevance (How typical is a characteristic for a given age decade?). Most characteristics were ascribed to young adulthood. The pattern differed across …
Psyche and Eros
Narratives of Mind, Gender, and the Life Course
Traditional rationalistic theories of mind and self are based on a duality of modes of processing or ways of speaking. These complementary processes are also narratively undergirded and personified by gender imagery in which parts of the mind are symbolized as ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’. Development is associated with the heroic journey of a male protagonist – rise, victory, and ascent to height, mind, and spirit. Feminine development, in contras…

Emotions and Self-Regulation
Both throughout history and in current philosophies, two modes of thought and self-regulation have been documented: one that is intuitive, subjective, and emotional, and one that is rational, objective, and logical. Several contemporary approaches to self-regulation have attempted to specify the relationship between these two available modes. In this paper, we propose a model that suggests a shift in the organization of the two modes as a functio…
Beyond Formal Operations
The present paper outlines a life-span model derived from Piaget’s population-dynamic interpretation of the two-tiered function of logic in adaptation: logical intercoordination and variation on the one hand, and contextual-pragmatic selection on the other. In this model specialization, concern with concrete pragmatics, and pressures towards social system stability are all seen to be aspects of progressive, directional, and structural change in a…
Child Development
Papers in this symposium evaluate the usefulness of ideas associated with the life-span view for enriching or expanding issues, theory, research, and interventions pertinent to change processes during infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Lipsitt emphasizes that infants be studied in transaction with their context in order for scientists to appreciate the role of infant development across the rest of life. He calls for greater appreciat…
Operant Analysis of Intellectual Behavior in Old Age
Recent research on adult intellectual development indicates that there is little justification for the notion of marked intellectual decrement in the aged. Rather, the aged person appears to exhibit a pronounced degree of plasticity in intellectual performance, suggesting that it is necessary to explore environmental variables related to cognitive proficiency. An operant framework is proposed for the analysis of environment-intelligence interacti…
Object Knowledge, Personal Knowledge, and Processes of Equilibration in Adult Cognition
This article discusses the logical discontinuity between object and personal knowledge. We propose an extension of Piaget’s subject-object equilibrium to a dialogic situation between an ego and an alter. This structural model, we suggest, provides a scheme by which differences in adulthood between adaptive and maladaptive cognitive change can be clarified
Dynamic Development and Mature Autonomy
This paper proposes a neo-Piagetian structural model of adult development. It is argued that propositional logic may fail as a device for regulating affect and action, and only prefigures rather than embodies mature structures of self-regulation. Three adult stages of logic are proposed: intrasystemic (formal realism), intersystemic (contextual relativism), and autonomy. These stages can serve as a broad organizational device for understanding a …
Empathy across the adult lifespan
This study examined change in self-reported empathy in a four-wave longitudinal study spanning 12 years (1992-2004) and the association between empathy and other measures, including daily reports of relationship experiences. Participants initially ranged in age from 10 years to 87 years. Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of age with empathy revealed divergent patterns. Whereas cross-sectional analyses suggested that older adults score…
Assessing alexithymia and related emotional ability constructs using multiple methods
This study examined relationships among various measures of emotional ability reflecting different methods of assessment: self-report, clinical interview, collateral report, and emotion-relevant performance. On 140 young adults, the authors assessed self-reported alexithymia, emotional approach coping, and trait metamood skills; observer-reported alexithymia; interviewer-rated alexithymia; emotional awareness in response to vignettes; and emotion…
Self-with-other representations and the organization of the self
Dynamic Integration
Positive self- and emotional development is often measured by optimization of happiness, but a second aspect of positive development—the ability to tolerate tension and negativity in the interest of maintaining objective representations—needs to be integrated with this hedonic emphasis. The integration of these two aspects, optimization and differentiation, reflects a dynamic balance. Such integration is possible when emotional activation or arou…
Age and gender differences in cardiac reactivity and subjective emotion responses to emotional autobiographical memories
This research reports age and gender differences in cardiac reactivity and subjective responses to the induction of autobiographical memories related to anger, fear, sadness, and happiness. Heart rate (HR) and subjective state were assessed at baseline and after the induction of each emotion in 113 individuals (61 men, 52 women; 66% European American, 34% African American) ranging in age from 15 to 88 years (M = 50.0; SD = 20.2). Cardiac reactivi…
Adult attachment styles
Knowing and Relating
Cognitive Ageing and Psychological Growth
The present paper argues that some apparent deficits found in cognitive ageing may result from models that focus on youth-centered, formal-logical standards of thinking. An alternative model of adult development is proposed which explains these apparent deficits in terms of progressive reorganizations where decline in performance may be a consequence of the growth of more complex and highly differentiated skills. More specifically, the contextual…
