Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” ― Brené Brown (2010, p. 6) I would like to thank the following people for assisting me throughout my journey in completing my Masters is Clinical Psychology and in particular, this research study. Although there are many individuals who have had an impact on my growth and personal development these past two to three years, the following people deserve special mention and whom I would like to extend my sincere appreciation and deepest gratitude: God and my Lord Jesus Christ and saviour who has given me strength and hope when I felt depleted. My parents, Daphne and Sean who have been pillars of strength for me and provided me with the guidance, support, unconditional love, and care in order to pursue my goal of becoming a clinical psychologist. The kindness and empathy that you both have shown me, particularly during this past year, has been invaluable and something which I will forever remember and be eternally grateful for. My brother Aidan and my soon-to-be sister in law, Sheroda, for their kindness, encouragement, and sense of humour when I needed it. My ‘cheerleaders’: Katya, Simonne, Angela, and Inge for their constant encouragement, support, and motivation. They have been my sounding boards and sources of comfort which has had a significantly positive impact on me. Ang - I’m sorry you didn’t get to see me finish. A special thank you to Katya – Dr. Masconi - for all her knowledge and support, especially in regards to her research experience and expertise. v To my fur-babies Schemer, Kaiber, Chess, Cass, and Sophie for their unconditional love and intuitive sense of ‘just knowing’ when I needed them. To Brett, Louis, the Mathews’, Pitter, and Jones’ families for their continued support and encouragement. Father Greg, my colleague and dear friend, for his patience, encouragement, support, and wonderful sense of humour. His guidance, knowledge, and time sacrificed from proofreading and assisting me in writing this research study is truly touching. Last but not least, my supervisor Prof Howcroft. Thank you for your flexibility, willingness to accommodate me in my last minute frantic panics, your understanding, and support. I am truly grateful for your knowledge, experience, and wisdom which you willingly and happily pass on. I thoroughly enjoyed having you as my research supervisor and I will particularly miss your sense of humour. vi Table of Contents Declaration

  • Basic Concepts I
    Basic Concepts I A LIFE COURSE PERSPECTIVE ON AGINGdistribute or post, copy, not Do - RonTech2000/iStockphoto.com Multigenerational families provide a vivid illustration of the life course perspective: Aging is a gradual, lifelong process we all experience, not something that happens only in later life. Proof Draft 1 Copyright ©2017 by SAGE Publications, Inc. This work may not be reproduced or distributed in any form or by any means without express written permission of the publisher. 2 AGING Learning Objectives After reading Basic Concepts I, “A Life Course Perspective on Aging,” readers will: 1. Understand aging as a lifelong experience that is multifaceted and shaped by the contexts in which individuals live. 2. Be familiar with the central theories developed to understand and explain aging. 3. Be able to identify the main biological processes thought to regulate the aging process. 4. Appreciate the ways in which social construction and historical factors influencedistribute our understandings of age, aging, and later life. or hen we think about “aging,” we often call to mind the image of an old person. But the process of aging actually begins much earlier in life. We cannot fully under- W stand what old age means unless we understandpost, it as part of the entire course of human life, and this approach is called the life course perspective (Fuller-Iglesias, Smith, & Antonucci, 2009; Settersten, 2003). Often our image of old age is misleading. For example, try to conjure a mental image of a college student. Now imagine a recent retiree, a grandmother, and a first-time father. Hold those images in mind and then considercopy, the following facts: • Each year, half a million people over age 60 are studying on college campuses.

  • The Relationship Between Ego Integrity and Death Attitudes in Older Adults
    American Journal of Applied Psychology 2013 ; 2(1) : 7-15 Published online January 20, 2013 (http://www.sciencepublishinggroup.com/j/ajap) doi: 10.11648/j.ajap.20130201.12 The relationship between ego integrity and death attitudes in older adults Daniel W. Parker Ave Maria University, San Marcos, Carazo, Nicaragua Email address: [email protected] (D. W. Parker) To cite this article: Daniel W. Parker. The Relationship Between Ego Integrity and Death Attitudes in Older Adults, American Journal of Applied Psychol- ogy. Vol. 2, No. 1, 2013, pp. 7-15. doi: 10.11648/j.ajap.20130201.12 Abstract: This study investigates how one’s ability to accept the past contributes to death attitudes within the el- derly population. 115 individuals (47 men and 68 women) participated by filling out self-report questionnaire pack- ets collected from a variety of residential settings. The Death Attitudes Profile – Revised (DAP-R) was used to assess the individuals attitude towards death and the Ability to Accept the Past scale (ACPAST) was used as a measure of ego integrity. A linear regression analysis was used to determine the predictive relationship between the two variables. The results indicate that scores on the ACPAST are significant predictors of DAP-R subscales Neutral Acceptance Fear of Death and Death Avoidance. The results did not show a significant relationship between the scores on the ACPAST and the DAP-R subscales Approach Acceptance or Escape Acceptance. Thus, the ability to accept the past was a significant predictor of Fear of Death, Death Avoidance, and Neutral Acceptance. Yet, accepting the past was not a significant predictor of Approach Acceptance or Escape Acceptance.

Older adults may especially be tasked with coming to terms with the life they have lived given time constraints and perceivably less opportunity to rectify paths not taken.

  • Flourishing in Later Life: a Positive Psychology Training for Care-Workers
    FLOURISHING IN LATER LIFE: A POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY TRAINING FOR CARE-WORKERS ZACHARY RHODENIZER B.A./B.Ed., University of Lethbridge, 2010 A Project Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF EDUCATION – COUNSELLING PSYCHOLOGY FACULTY OF EDUCATION LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA January 2014 Abstract Most careworkers would agree that continued engagement is important and necessary for residents of a long-term care facility; however, the manner in which careworkers can plan activities in order to be engaging and motivating to residents is less certain. A program based on positive psychology is presented that aims to promote meaningful, engaging, and intrinsically motivating activities that can benefit any resident living in care. The program demonstrates positive psychology and self-determination theory to careworkers and the manner in which this knowledge can be applied to older populations. The program then informs careworkers how to facilitate interventions that promote gratitude, forgiveness, hope, altruism, and apply signature strengths to meaningful pursuits. These interventions can be implemented regardless of physical limitations and can help residents to flourish in long-term care. iii Acknowledgments To my supervisor, Dr. Blythe Shepard, your patience with me and this project has been greatly appreciated. I shudder to think where I would be in this process if it were not for your guidance and direction. To Dr. Jennifer Thannhauser, your encouragement pushed me to attempt this endeavour in the first place. Knowing that you believed in my abilities helped me through the times when I did not.

  • Books on Serial Killers
    _____________________________________________________________ Researching the Multiple Murderer: A Comprehensive Bibliography of Books on Specific Serial, Mass, and Spree Killers Michael G. Aamodt & Christina Moyse Radford University True crime books are a useful source for researching serial killers. Unfortunately, many of these books do not include the name of the killer in the title, making it difficult to find them in a literature search. To make researching serial killers easier, we have created a comprehensive bibliography of true crime books on specific multiple murderers. This was done by identifying the names of nearly 1,800 serial killers and running searches of their names through such sources as WorldCat, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and crimelibrary.com. This listing was originally published in 2004 in the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology and was last updated in August, 2012. An asterisk next to a killer’s name indicates that a timeline written by Radford University students is available on the Internet at http://maamodt.asp.radford.edu/Psyc%20405/serial_killer_timelines.htm and an asterisk next to a book indicates that the book is available in the Radford University library. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Adams, John Bodkin Devlin, Patrick (1985).

  • Adult Cognitive Development from a Lifespan Developmental Perspective1
    明星大学心理学年報 2010，No.28，021－035 講演録原著21 Adult Cognitive Development from a Lifespan Developmental Perspective1 K. Warner Schaie Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington Abstract: A fairly concise lifespan perspective is presented on what some would call normal cognitive aging. The currently most useful theoretical frameworks that include statements about cognitive development from young adulthood to advanced old age are outlined. Psychologists are reminded that they must never confuse age differences that may largely represent cohort differences associated with rapidly changing environmental circumstances, with age changes that occur within individuals over their life course. A distinction is next made between normal and pathological aging, as is characterized by very different aging trajectories that distinguish individuals who follow average trajectories, those who decline early, those who develop neuro- or psycho-pathologies, and those favored few “super-aged” who remain fully functional until shortly before their death. Because changes in intellectual competence represent a central topic in the psychology of aging, examples of substantive data for such changes are then presented through adulthood. Little cognitive decline not associated with pathological processes is found prior to the decade of the 60s, but some genetically and environmentally disadvantaged individuals show decline in the late 40s or early 50s. Age difference data and differential cohort paths are also presented for different abilities over the past 70 years. Finally, I refl ect on the topic of ageism in the psychology of aging and suggest that the major infl uence for much professional stereotyping of the elderly may be found in the assumption of universal cognitive decline and movement towards negative personality traits with increasing age.

  • UNIT 8 STAGES of DEVELOPMENT* Human Development
    Nature and Principle of UNIT 8 STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT* Human Development Structure 8.0 Introduction 8.1 Objectives 8.2 Stages of Development 8.2.1 Sigmund Freud’s Theory 8.2.2 Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory 8.3 Let Us Sum Up 8.4 Glossary 8.5 Unit End Questions 8.6 Answers to Self Assessment Questions (SAQ) 8.7 References and Suggested Readings 8.8 References for Images 8.0 INTRODUCTION From the moment the human child is first conceived, to the day the individual dies, they keep changing constantly and developing. While some of the changes humans undergo are as a result of chance incidents and personal choices, the vast majority of life changes and stages the human passes through are due to certain common biological and psychological factors partly inherited and partly environmental and are shared by all people. Life span development deals with important common developmental stages that human beings pass through: birth, infancy, adolescence, adulthood, old age and finally death. As the humans grow up from stage to stage they learn to make use of their body parts, learn how to express themselves and communicate with others, how to form relationship with others, how to care for others, how to love and how to work. In this unit we will discuss two prominent theories of human development namely, Sigmund Freud’s theory of psychosexual development and Erikson’s theory of development. 8.1 OBJECTIVES After reading this unit, you will be able to: Articulate the importance of stage in human development; Know the Freud’s contribution in understanding developmental process; and Understand the eight stages of Erik Erikson’s theory of developmental process.
