Psicología social del envejecimiento y perspectiva del transcurso de la vida: consideraciones críticas / Social psychology of aging and lifespan perspective: critical considerations

En el artículo se plantea como psicología social del envejecimiento una relación de interdependencia entre la psicología social y la psicología del desarrollo, considerándolas histórica y socioculturalmente contextuadas. La psicología social del envejecimiento se asume, entonces, como una alternativa crítica, coherente con la perspectiva contextual dialéctica del transcurso vital. Se presenta dicha perspectiva como integradora del desarrollo-envejecimiento, y se ilustra por medio de aportes de psicólogos que han contribuido a su consolidación, enriqueciéndola con planteamientos provenientes de la ecología del desarrollo humano y de una visión contextualizada de la cultura. Finalmente, se considera la necesidad de superar las visiones ahistóricas y culturalmente descontextualizadas del desarrollo-envejecimiento a lo largo de la vida, con el propósito de contribuir a la construcción de sociedades que sean, realmente, para todas las edades.

The social psychology of aging is introduced as an interdependent relationship between social psychology and developmental psychology, both viewed in historical and social-cultural context. The social psychology of aging is assumed, then, as a critical alternative consistent with the contextual and dialectical lifespan perspective. Such perspective is presented as an integrative view of human development and aging, and it is illustrate with contributions from psychologists who have helped to consolidate it. It is enriched with approaches of the ecology of human development, and a contextualized view of culture. Finally, the need to overcome ahistorical and culturally decontextualized perspectives on development and aging throughout the lifespan is considered in order to contribute to building societies for all ages.
