Surveys02:16

Surveys

16.2K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Aging01:26

Aging

349
Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

13.3K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Emerging Adulthood01:27

Emerging Adulthood

252
Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

401
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

506
Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Higher Education Studies
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • Higher education institutions face challenges in creating age-inclusive environments.
  • Assessing age inclusivity requires evaluating both objective practices and subjective perceptions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce a theoretical framework for assessing age inclusivity in higher education.
  • Describe the Age-Friendly Inventory and Campus Climate Survey (ICCS) as a tool for this assessment.
  • Measure age-friendly campus practices, constituent perceptions, and the alignment between them.

Main Methods:

  • The ICCS was administered at a public university in the northeastern United States.
  • Administrators completed the Inventory of potential age-friendly practices.
  • Campus constituents (n=688) completed the Climate Survey assessing awareness, perceptions, and beliefs.

Main Results:

  • Administrators reported 66% of potential age-friendly practices were in place.
  • Campus constituents reported low overall perceptions of age-friendliness and varied beliefs.
  • Awareness of existing age-friendly practices among constituents was only 36%.

Conclusions:

  • The ICCS provides a comprehensive method to assess the objective, subjective, and fit aspects of age inclusivity on campuses.
  • This assessment tool can help higher education institutions identify strengths and challenges in advancing age inclusivity.
