Presents an integrative, student-friendly approach to understanding the impact of biological, psychological and social processes on individuals throughout the aging process Acclaimed for its depth, currency, and easily accessible presentation, Adult Development and Aging, helps students understand the aging process both in themselves and in those around them, approaching the subject from the biopsychosocial perspective: a model of adult development that takes into account the influences and interactions of complex biological, psychological, and social processes. Authors Susan Krauss Whitbourne and Stacey B. Whitbourne explore the latest concepts and applications in this important discipline. Based on Susan's classroom experience teaching her Psychology of Aging course, this engaging textbook integrates current research, real-world data, detailed explanations, and relatable examples to provide a balanced and accessible examination of the subject. Now in its eighth edition, this fully updated and revised textbook offers inclusive coverage of recent advances in neuroscience and genetics, cognitive functions, vocational development, sociocultural influences, mental health issues, health and prevention, and much more. Adult Development and Aging: Biopsychosocial Perspectives, Eighth Edition,  is an invaluable source of timely and relevant information for digital-native college learners and mature returning students alike, as well as for instructors and academic researchers in areas of adult aging and lifespan development. AN INTERACTIVE, MULTIMEDIA LEARNING EXPERIENCE This textbook includes access to an interactive, multimedia e-text. Icons throughout the print book signal corresponding digital content in the e-text. Two threads of video content in the enhanced e-text engage students more deeply with the material: * Age Matters: Newly developed for the Eighth Edition, each chapter begins with an inviting video introduction to the chapter topic-outlining for students what they will read about, calling attention to key concepts, challenges, and pitfalls, and making connections with other chapters. Appearing with each chapter's summary, a longer and more personal Age Matters video lends real-world context to students' review of the chapter, with the authors offering insights drawn from their own work and life experience. * Psychology Concepts: A series of videos offering brief overviews of topics in general psychology, such as understanding memory and understanding personality, that come to bear in the discussion of adult development and aging. Appearing throughout the enhanced e-text, interactive figures, diagrams, and tables facilitate study and help students retain important information. Even many of the simplest figures are interactive to encourage online readers to pause and absorb the information they present before scrolling on to additional reading. Each chapter includes a self-scoring practice quizwith feedback at both question- and quiz-level to help students prepare for higher-stakes assessments and exams.
