Sommario/riassunto |
|
Factors in adolescence and young adulthood can impact how we function in midlife, as can sociocultural factors, and how we develop in middle age can influence how well we cope in our later years. This book explores these issues by bringing together a group of contributors associated with longitudinal studies. |
