Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Sociology

Context:

  • Industrialized societies show improved conditions for aging.
  • Traditional models of aging focus on defects and disuse.
  • Aging competence is increasingly recognized as a key factor.

Purpose:

  • To propose a competence model of aging.
  • To contrast this with traditional defect and disuse models.
  • To highlight the role of individual resources and situational demands.

Summary:

  • Cohort-sequential analyses reveal enhanced prerequisites for aging competence.
  • Competence is defined by the interplay of situational demands and personal resources.
  • This model allows for specific, variable, and individual descriptions of development.
