Missing links: the case for a social psychology of the life course

LK George
Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA.

The major purpose of this discussion is to demonstrate that the knowledge base has suffered as a result of insufficient cross- fertilization of social-psychological and life course/aging perspectives. The central focus of the article is identification of research issues of interest to life course and aging scholars that would be enriched by increased attention to social-psychological principles and, conversely, identification of social-psychological research topics that would be advanced by increased attention to life course and aging issues.
