Since 1988, there has been a commendable increase in concern for explicit theory development in gerontology. However, this has not been reflected in recent journal articles reporting empirical research. We summarize some central issues in the recent history of gerontological theory-building, noting both "progress" and "pitfalls." Have there been paradigmatic shifts in biogerontological, psycho-gerontological, and social-gerontological theories of aging during the past decade? We think not, though advocates of particular theoretical perspectives may disagree.
自1988年以来，老年学领域对明确的理论发展的关注有了值得称赞的增加。然而，这一点在近期报道实证研究的期刊文章中并未得到体现。我们总结了老年学理论构建近期历史中的一些核心问题，既指出了“进展”，也指出了“陷阱”。在过去十年中，生物老年学、心理老年学和社会老年学的衰老理论是否发生了范式转变？我们认为没有，尽管特定理论观点的支持者可能会有不同意见。
