In Psychology of Aging: A Concise Exploration, author Sara J. Margolin redefines how we think about getting older. Employing a bio-psycho-social perspective, Margolin introduces modern learners to the study of adulthood and aging, offering a holistic examination of its impact on our bodies, minds, relationships, and social roles. Through an innovative myth vs. fact approach, the text dispels common misconceptions using humor, compassion, and robust research. Emphasizing real-life aging processes and adaptations, learners gain insights applicable not only to future careers but also within family and personal life contexts.
Sara J. Margolin, Ph.D. received her doctoral degree in Cognitive and Sensory Processes with a Certificate in Gerontology from the University of Florida in 2007. Since then, she has been a full-time faculty member in the Department of Psychology at SUNY Brockport teaching classes in cognitive processes, sensation and perception, research methods, and the psychology of aging. Her research area emphasizes cognition and aging, specifically how reading processes may change (or in some cases be preserved) with age and the inclusion of negated sentence structure and has been published in journals such as Educational Gerontology and Experimental Aging Research. In her spare time, she loves to read, cook, and spend time camping with her husband, two sons, and three very large dogs.
"I find this text much more accessible without sacrificing content." --Ashley Ermer, PhD "Draft chapter review" "The examples used are relatable and clear, and I love that the author used personal examples. I also liked the positive and more realistic spin put on these changes that occur during adulthood." --Melissa S. Atkins "Draft chapter review"
