YOUNGMAN, Department of Developmental Studies and Counseling, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts, 02215-1300 Preface This volume is an outgrowth of contemporary research on development over the adult lifespan, which by now has burgeoned and developed both nationally and internationally. However, for us, the impetus to be involved in this area was spawned and nurtured by our initial association with the Society for Research in Adult Development (SRAD) with its origins some 15 years ago by Michael Commons and his associates in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Through the good will and support of this society, we also became, and are still, heavily involved with the Journal ofAdult Development and the Kluwer-Plenum Monograph Series on Adult Development and Aging, of which this volume is a companion. Many of the contributions in the volume are from SRAD members, who con­ sistently adhere to a focus on positive adult development. Their chapters have been complemented by pieces from other researchers, who have adopted more mainstream approaches to adult development and/or aging. Regardless of the par­ ticular approach and/or focus of the chapter, all the work reported herein sup­ ports the relatively recent idea that development is not restricted to children and adolescents but continues throughout the adult lifespan in ways that we never envisioned some 20 years ago. Thus, the volume represents state-of-the-art theory, research, and practice on adult development, which has the potential to occupy us all for some time to come. When one writes or edits a book on adult development, it is

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPIRITUALITY AND PERSONALITY by Kimberly C. Koessel A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Counseling Psychology and Counselor Education Advisor: Joseph R. Morris, Ph.D. Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan December 2011 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPIRITUALITY AND PERSONALITY Kimberly C. Koessel, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 2011 Current literature is lacking a theoretical framework for understanding spirituality within the context of psychological functioning. Despite empirical support for the potential psychological benefits of spirituality, conceptual differences underlying definitions and measurements of spirituality have impeded theory development. Additionally, very few studies have explored spirituality from a secular perspective. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the relationship between spirituality and personality within a population of undergraduate and graduate students. This research obtains sample data through a demographic questionnaire, a measure of humanistic spirituality, and an inventory of normal personality.

  • Adult Development and Aging Human Development and Social Policy
    Adult Development and Aging Human Development and Social Policy Professor Alexandra M. Freund Email: [email protected] Office Hours: By appointment Tuesdays and Thursdays: 9:30 – 10:50 Brief Characterization of this Course: This course provides an overview of the longest phase of the life cycle – adulthood, covering the years from young to late adulthood. Life span developmental psychology assumes that development is not finished with adolescence but continues well into old age. In this class, a lifespan developmental perspective with an emphasis on psychological aspects of development will be taken to discuss various aspects of adult development and aging. In addition to different theoretical approaches, we will discuss empirical findings in various fields of adult development such as social relations, personality, cognitive functioning, emotion, and motivation. Students will learn to evaluate empirical research and draw connections to everyday phenomena. Required Readings Textbook: Cavenaugh, J. C., & Blanchard-Fields, F. (2002). Adult Development and Aging, 4th edition. Belmont, CA: Wadsworth/Thomson Learning. Articles supplementing the textbook To get a better understanding of the issues of adult development and aging, three novels are recommended as additional readings. Requirements 1. Attendance and participation in class discussion are a basic requirement. Students may not miss more than 4 classes. Beyond these 4 classes, one grade will be deducted from the final grade (e.g., for a total of 5 missed classes a “B+” becomes a “B“; for a total of six missed classes, an “A-” becomes a “B-”; for a total of seven missed classes, an “A“ becomes a “B-“, etc.). Active participation in class accounts for 20% of the grade.

  • Is THERE ADULT DEVELOPMENT DISTINCTIVE to WOMEN?
    CHAPTER 12 Is THERE ADULT DEVELOPMENT DISTINCTIVE TO WOMEN? RAVENNA HELSON, JENNIFER PALS, AND MARJORIE SOLOMON INSTITUTE OF PERSONALITY AND SOCIAL RESEARCH, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY Adult development usually refers to positive personality change after late adoles­ cence, such as increased competence, perspective, maturity, and understanding (Vaillant, 1977; White, 1966). It may be conceptualized as taking place in the process of meeting the psychosocial needs of identity, intimacy, generativity, and integrity (Erikson, 1963), or through developmental tasks such as rearing children or assum­ ing responsibilities in work (Havighurst, 1948). It can refer to the actualization of one's individual potential (Btihler, 1971; Jung, 1931/1960). Some would take adult development to be evidenced in the sequence of events that make a life story, or perhaps in the differentiation and coherence of one's life story (McAdams, 1993). Though attention tends to be focused on change in the positive direction, change may also be retrogressive (Baltes, 1987). Gains in self-control, for example, may be made at the cost of a loss in spontaneity. There is disagreement about whether features of adult development can be demonstrated in most people or in some people in some circumstances, or whether patterns of variation are so great and depend on so many factors as to render the construct of adult development of doubtful scientific use. The disagreement depends in part on diverse conceptualizations of what development consists of, on the way personality and personality change are to be measured, and on difficulties inherent in making comparisons across cultures or historical periods (Helson, 1993a; Helson & COPYRIGHT © 1997 BY ACADEMIC PRESS.

    Identity: An International Journal of Theory and Research, 9:252–271, 2009 Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN: 1528-3488 print/1532-706X online DOI: 10.1080/15283480903344554 Joining Erikson and Identity Specialists in the Quest to Characterize Adult Spiritual Identity Chris Kiesling Asbury Theological Seminary Gwen Sorell Texas Tech University Identity theorists have often assessed spiritual identity as one of many components of a person’s ego identity under the assumption that spirituality structures the self and promotes outcomes consonant with other domains of identity. In this article, we ana- lyze presuppositions implicit in this assumption. Drawing from a qualitative study of spiritually devout women and men, we probe whether existing operationalizations of Erikson’s theory accurately conceptualize the narratives of spiritually devout women and men. In places where existing operationalizations seem inadequate, we offer sev- eral directives for future theoretical construction. Following Erikson, identity theorists have long recognized spirituality as an im- portant domain of identity formation and as a contributor to adult development (Markstrom, 1999; Ray & McFadden, 2001). Most often, identity researchers have assessed spiritual identity as one of many components of a person’s ego identity under the assumption that spirituality structures the self and promotes outcomes consonant with other domains of identity (Josselson, 1996; Marcia, 1966, 1993). In this article, we analyze several presuppositions implicit in this assumption.

  • Successful Young Adult Development
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SUCCESSFUL YOUNG ADULT DEVELOPMENT A report submitted to: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Peter L. Benson and Peter C. Scales Search Institute J. David Hawkins, Sabrina Oesterle, and Karl G. Hill Social Development Research Group, University of Washington Dec. 10, 2004 INTRODUCTION Promoting the healthy development of children and adolescents requires a clear vision of successful adult development. We have identified about 50 theoretical and empirical explorations of successful young adult development. This work provided the intellectual and scientific base for this document, complemented by ongoing research initiatives on indicators of successful development currently underway at the Social Development Research Group (SDRG) at the University of Washington in Seattle and the Search Institute (SI) in Minneapolis. The Transition to Young Adulthood The transition from adolescence to adulthood (usually defined as the period from approximately age 18 to age 25) is important because it sets the stage for later adult life (Arnett, 2000; George, 1993; Hogan and Astone 1986; Shanahan, 2000). Leaving familiar roles of childhood and adolescence and taking on new responsibilities of worker, spouse, or parent can be challenging. Negotiating this transition successfully has positive consequences. Most often, transitions encourage continuity, reinforcing developmental patterns already established in childhood and adolescence (Elder and Caspi, 1988). For example, avoiding substance use and delinquency in adolescence decreases the risk for antisocial involvement in young adulthood and poor physical and mental health (Guo, Collins, Hill, and Hawkins, 2000; Guo, Chung, Hill, Hawkins, Catalano, and Abbott, 2002; Hill, White, Chung, Hawkins, and Catalano, 2000; Mason, Kosterman, Hawkins, Herrenkohl, Lengua, and McCauley, 2004; Newcomb and Bentler, 1988; Oesterle, Hill, Hawkins, Guo, Catalano, and Abbott, 2004).

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Adult Education THE MEANINGS OF TEACHING FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF EXEMPLARY AND EXPERIENCED TEACHERS A Dissertation in Adult Education by Janice E. Smith 2011 Janice E. Smith Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education May 2011 ii The dissertation of Janice E. Smith was reviewed and approved* by the following: Patricia A. Cranton Professor of Adult Education Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Edward W. Taylor Professor of Adult Education Denise G. Meister Associate Professor of Education Gina Brelsford Assistant Professor of Psychology Gary Kuhne In Charge of Graduate Programs in Adult Education *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT A qualitative narrative inquiry that explores the meaning of teaching and the development of that meaning throughout the career of exemplary and experienced teachers in kindergarten- through-twelfth-grade (K-12) public schools was conducted. Exemplary teachers were operationalized in this study as any of the 12 teachers chosen each year by the state of Pennsylvania as finalists for Teacher of the Year. The research questions that guided this narrative inquiry are: Which, if any, of Kegan’s (1982, 1994) developmental plateaus can be identified as current or prior meaning-making systems for these exemplary and experienced teachers? What are the current meanings of teaching for these exemplary and experienced teachers? If these meanings have changed, what was the process of change as the meanings of teaching changed throughout their career? Was this process of change developmental? What contextual influences have supported or hindered the teachers’ meaning-making? Literature that explores constructive-developmental theory, connects it to adult education, and advocates a context for learning with an appropriate mix of challenge and support is reviewed.
