This article defines self-perceptions of aging (SPA) as individuals' perceptions, expectations, and experiences regarding their own process of growing old(er). As such, SPA are considered a critically important element of the aging self. Furthermore, the authors present a heuristic model that positions adults' SPA within a lifespan developmental and cultural-societal context and elaborates distal and proximal antecedents, process modes, and developmental outcomes. The remainder of the article summarizes recent empirical findings and discusses future challenges and directions.
本文将自我老化感知定义为个体对自身衰老过程的感知、期望和体验。因此,自我老化感知被认为是老化自我的一个至关重要的元素。此外,作者提出了一个启发式模型,将成年人的自我老化感知置于生命周期发展和文化社会背景中,并详细阐述了远程和近端的前因、过程模式和发展结果。文章的其余部分总结了最近的实证研究结果,并讨论了未来的挑战和方向。
