Division 20: Adult Development and Aging

Division 20: Adult Development and Aging focuses on understanding how adults grow, change, and adapt throughout their later years. It studies physical, emotional, cognitive, and social development from early adulthood to old age. Researchers explore aging processes, health issues, psychological well-being, and ways to improve quality of life as people age. The goal is to promote healthy aging, support aging populations, and enhance understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced during adult life and later years. This division helps inform policies, healthcare practices, and interventions tailored to adult development.
