Self Directedness: Cause and Effects Throughout the Life Course: Social Structure and Aging Series

Editat de Judith Rodin, Carmi Schooler, K. Warner Schaie
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 apr 2016
This book, the third in a series on the life course, has significance in today's world of research, professional practice, and public policy because it symbolizes the gradual reemergence of power in the social sciences. Focusing on "self-directedness and efficacy" over the life course, this text addresses the following issues:

* the causes of change

* how changes affect the individual, the family system, social groups, and society at large

* how various disciplines--anthropology, sociology, psychology, epidemiology--approach this field of study, with consideration given to common themes and differences

Finally, an effort is made to develop a multidisciplinary perspective unique to the study of self-directedness and efficacy.

Recenzii

"...the volume offers a number of new, interesting, and potentially important perspectives."
Contemporary Psychology
"This volume is the rich outgrowth of a conference organized by its editors....an exceptionally valuable contribution to the literatures on stress and coping, the life course, and social epidemiology....perhaps this magnificent volume, as Matilda White Riley contends in its foreword, symbolizes 'the gradual reemergence of the power of the social sciences.'"
JoAnn L. Miller,
Contemporary Sociology
