Psychological Age correct answers Functional level of memory, emotions, intelligence, etc.
Sociocultural Age correct answers Specific roles that people play in society
Primary aging correct answers Normal disease-free development
Secondary aging correct answers Developmental changes related to disease (Alzheimer's disease)
and lifestyle (overeating).
Tertiary aging correct answers rapid changes that occur shortly before death
Modernization theory correct answers Historically, the elderly were respected and revered, but as
society has become modernized, their value has diminished.
Age-set system correct answers People in society are put into groups based on their age
Life time correct answers Number of years a person has lived
Sociocultural time correct answers way that society determiens the appropriate age for evetns; also appropriate age-related behavior
Historical time correct answers social, political, economic events through which people live
Social clock correct answers Personal clock by which we measure our progress in life. The timetable determined by life time, sociocultural time, and historical time.
Forces of Development correct answers Biological forces (genetics and health related factors); Psychological forces (cognitions, emotions, perceptions, and personality factors); sociocultural forces (social network of peopel with whom we interact; and life-cycle forces (first 3 forces filter
through the life-cycle component to determine development (other three factors affect people differently depending on stage in life course).
Age Effects correct answers Changes due to biological, psychological, or sociocultural forces. How do people change over time?
Cohort Effects correct answers unique characteristics that makes comparing cohorts invalid.
Time of Measurement Effect correct answers Unique characteristics to time period
Cross-Sectional correct answers Study different age groups of people and compare their responses to determine age differences; no time of measurement effect because everyone measured at same point of time; serious cohort effect: one of the groups may be unique so age comparisons aren't valid
Longitudinal Designs correct answers Measure same people over multiple times; compare responses at different waves of data collection to understand aging process; No cohort effect because only one cohort is being studied; slight potential of time-of-measurement effect; attrition
problem
Sequential Design correct answers Follow multiple cohorts longitudinally; largely solves both cohort and time-of-measurement effect problems; extremely expensive and time ocnsuming
Qualitative research correct answers Non-numerical; look for themes in the data; good for understanding in-depth processes
Trend analysis correct answers Examine same type of groups at different times, using the same methods and questions
Secondary analysis correct answers Use existing data sets to conduct analysis on a reserach questions; usually free of charge and offer excellent data; soemtimes you don't have the e variables you need and they are complex and difficult to navigate
Program evaluation correct answers Examine existing programs to see if they are meeting their goals; can use a multitude of research designs to examine the program; often has imortant policy implications
% of people over the age of 65 in 1900 and 2010 correct answers 4.1% in 1900 and 13.0 in 2010
Reasons for increase in % of elderly in our population correct answers longevity- people are living longer (reduced mortality rates among children); decreased fertility;
Life expectancy at birth in 1900 and today correct answers In 1900 it was 49. Today it is 76 for males and 81 for females
life expectancy at age 65 in 1900 and today correct answers 1900- average 65 year old male could expect to live 11 more years and females 12; today males 18 years and females 20 years
policy implications of aging population. correct answers More elderly people, not as many younger people. who is going to take care of the elderly? Not enough young people to support all
the elderly
