From Cultural Psychology to GeroPsychology: Possible Contributions

Abstract

Both geropsychology and cultural psychology have been new branches of psychology that have established their distinctive roles over the last two decades. In this article, I chart out three major perspectives within cultural psychology – theory of social representations (Serge Moscovici), dialogical self theory (Hubert Hermans), and my own cultural psychology of semiotic dynamics, and suggest some directions for their joint roles in GeroPsychology.
