Abstract

In this paper it is argued that the problem of formulating a comprehensive theory of successful ageing ‐ and thereby of finding good criteria for success ‐ may be attributed to the lack of a suitable multidisciplinary framework that meets at least three basic theoretical requirements. These requirements are explicated, and some existing theories and approaches of successful ageing are discussed in the light of these requirements. An alternative theoretical framework is presented which can accommodate a number of existing insights, and which is used as the basis of a new theory of successful ageing, including theory-guided criteria for success.

迈向理解成功的老龄化:资源和目标的模式变化

本文认为，制定成功老龄化的综合理论——从而找到成功的良好标准——的问题可能归因于缺乏至少满足三个基本理论要求的合适的多学科框架。阐述了这些要求，并根据这些要求讨论了现有的一些成功老化的理论和方法。提出了另一种理论框架，它可以容纳许多现有的见解，并被用作成功老龄化新理论的基础，包括理论指导的成功标准。
