Handbook of the Psychology of Aging Ninth Edition tackles both the biological and
environmental influences on behavior and the reciprocal interface between changes in the brain
and behavior that span the adult lifespan. This information is very important to many features
of daily life from workplace to family and in public policy matters. It is complex and new
questions are continually raised about how behavior changes with age. Providing perspectives on
the behavioral science of aging for diverse disciplines the handbook explains how the role of
behavior is organized and how it changes over the course of life. Along with parallel advances
in research methodology it explicates in great detail patterns and sub-patterns of behavior
over the lifespan and how it affects biological health and social interactions.
