PSYCHOGERONTOLOGY COMPARISON REPORT DRAFT

Prepare a working draft of your Psychogerontology Comparison Report that is fairly close to complete and submit it in the Unit 7 assignment area.

Incorporate previous assignments and extend the significance of your research and findings as described in the directions below. The final Psychogerontology Comparison Report consists of your Unit 3 Literature Review: Optimal Aging, Unit 5 Local Older Adult Agency Search, and additional insights you gain after submitting this draft and receiving instructor feedback.

This project clarifies what is lacking in the community you serve and also allows you to learn about exemplary models available for optimal aging. While writing the report, use the Psychogerontology Comparison Report course project description and scoring guide to direct your work. Use the Distinguished column on the scoring guide to ensure optimum points are earned.

ASSIGNMENT DIRECTIONS

Integrate your Unit 3 assignment, Literature Review: Optimal Aging, into the report by completing the following:

• Analyze the primary and secondary age-related changes in psychological processes, cognitive functions, personality, and interpersonal relationships you discovered from the literature.
  • Identify what preventative services exist that promote physical and mental health, cognitive functions, socialization, and quality of life. For example, Type 2 diabetes is associated with aging, but age does not cause Type 2 diabetes. Poor diet and lack of physical activity lead to Type 2 diabetes.
  • Analyze what services address the impact of normal age-related physiological changes on the older adult’s psychosocial functioning.
  • Analyze how changing societal concepts of aging on present and future cohorts of older adults impact optimal aging and services (including technology) that promote optimal aging.
  • Analyze the major theories that link cognitive function and personality with the development and sustainment of interpersonal relationships.

Integrate your Unit 5 assignment, Local Older Adult Agency Search, by including the following:

• Compare your findings of local area resources to what you found in your literature review about optimal aging and services that support optimal aging.
  • Distinguish how the findings from your area differ or are similar to what you found in the literature.
  • Differentiate community resources in your area that support successful aging.
  • Analyze how physiological changes due to the aging process impact social interactions within families, organizations, and communities.
• Analyze what could make a local resource better.

In addition, integrate previous information you have studied into your Psychogerontology Comparison Report as follows:

• Analyze the socioeconomic status of the aging demographic and its impact on political action, public policy, and financial markets.
