PSY 335: PSYCHOLOGY OF AGING

During this course, we will learn to appreciate the significance of studying aging as a continuous process throughout life and how early life experiences and cumulative factors affect psychological health in the later years. Within this framework, we will also focus on healthy aging as opposed to the negative associations that aging often carries and how diverse the aging population actually is. Moreover, we will challenge ourselves to investigate how different areas of study, particularly how the domains of psychology, aging, neuroscience, sociocultural, biology, and mental health fields, intersect and need to come together to functionally understand how psychological and aging processes unfold.
