21世纪中国老年心理学研究:现状与未来
The Chinese Researches in Psychology of Aging in the 21th Century:Current Status and Future

本文回顾了近40年中国老年心理学的研究成果，并从研究主题角度与美国老年心理学研究进行了比较。发现中国老年心理学主要聚焦于老年人心理健康研究，同时也在老年人家庭人际关系和社会支持领域研究有较为丰富的研究成果。但国内对老年人的认知能力、人格、情绪情感探讨较少，既缺少前沿的基础研究，也缺少对复杂能力、复杂情感等的系统研究。结合中国人口老龄化现实，本文提出了21世纪中国老年心理学的未来研究取向：基础研究和应用服务研究的双向结合，中国文化特色取向，个体-环境交互作用取向和个体差异取向。
