Is this something bad? And can societies age as a whole? By bringing together psychological, gerontological, and sociological findings, this open access book opens up a hitherto unique, multifaceted, and realistic view of the phenomenon of old age and the process of aging. The volume is based on the results of the project ?Ageing as Future?, a long-term project network (2007-2021) involving a total of more than 30 scientists worldwide. The focus of the project was threefold: A first issue was concerned with how views on aging influence development in old age; secondly, the project analyzed determinants and consequences of provision for old age; and thirdly, it investigated the different ways in which aging is shaped by managing time in old age. For more than a decade, the authors conducted quantitative and qualitative studies, involving large samples from three different continents. The results show that one-sided views of old age ? whether negative stereotypes or positive exaggerations ? do not do justice to the complexity of the experience of aging. Based on these results, the authors plead for individual and societal acceptance of the social fact of aging ? and for the right to live an autonomous and dignified life in old age just as in other phases of life. Ageing as Future: A study by the Volkswagen Foundation presents findings from a unique large international study that are of interest to aging researchers around the world: academically, socio-politically, practically, and personally. Whether old or young, the book encourages one to question one's own views of aging. When reading this book, it becomes obvious that old age is a highly diverse experience, depending on a host of societal and individual factors. . 606 $aDevelopmental psychology 606 $aGerontology 606 $aAge distribution (Demography) 606 $aSociology 606 $aSocial groups 606 $aDevelopmental Psychology 606 $aGerontology 606 $aAging Population 606 $aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging 615 0$aDevelopmental psychology. 615 0$aGerontology. 615 0$aAge distribution (Demography). 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aSocial groups. 615 14$aDevelopmental Psychology. 615 24$aGerontology. 615 24$aAging Population. 615 24$aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging. 676 $a155 700 $aLang$b Frieder R$01272376 701 $aLessenich$b Stephan$01214927 701 $aRothermund$b Klaus$01742542 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910865257803321 996 $aAgeing As Future$94169297 997 $aUNINA
