Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This volume represents a new name and a new focus for its predecessor, Current Perspectives on Aging and the Life Cycle (volumes 1-4). We begin our new series, now titled Advances in Life Course Research, with volume 5. Its statement of purpose is the publication of theoretical analyses, reviews, policy analyses and positions, and theory-based empirical papers on issues involving all aspects of the human life course. It adopts a broad conception of the life course, and invites and welcomes contributions from all disciplines and fields of study interested in understanding, describing, and predicting the antecedents of and consequences for the course that human lives take from birth to death, within and across time and cultures (construed in its broadest sense), regardless of methodology, theoretical orientation, or disciplinary affiliation.

The Structure of the Life Course: Standardized? Individualized? Differentiated?
Inbunden, Engelska, 2005
1 030 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Current debates in life course studies increasingly reference theories of individualization, standardization, and differentiation in the structure of the life course. This volume brings together leading scholars from a variety of fields to assess the theoretical underpinnings, the empirical evidence, and the implications of existing arguments. The contributions include comparative-historical work, demographic analysis, and detailed survey research. The topics covered include historical, cross-cultural, and racioethnic variation in the transition to adulthood, the school-to-work transition, educational careers, retirement, activity characteristics over the life span and the life course context of psychological well-being. The various contributions expand our understanding of the contemporary life course and its implications. The authors offer innovative theoretical and methodological approaches that demonstrate the utility of holistic approaches to conceptualizing the life course and understanding its implications for modern society.

Chapters within this volume incorporate several areas of research, including:.How physical and mental health trajectories are shaped by life course variations in stressors and resources.Stress associated with social role transitions and the significance of different role trajectories for stress exposure and outcomes .Life course variations in the quality and content of institutional contexts (such as school, work and family) and their significance for stress processes.Differences in types, levels, and effects of different stress-moderating resources within and across life course stages.Ways in which race, gender, and social class influence or condition stress processes over the life course.The relevance of "linked lives� within families and across generations for stress exposure and vulnerability.Historical variations in stress-related conditions and cohort differences in stress experiences.Methodological and theoretical advances in studying stress processes across the life course
