Across the lifespan, goals change in response to developmental changes in opportunities and demands, but they also bring about developmental changes regarding the acquisition of skills and resources. Generally, developing (selection), pursuing (optimization), and maintaining goals in the face of losses (compensation) contributes to successful development across the lifespan and to healthy aging in particular. Goals are dynamic; their content changes in sync with developmental goals. Moreover, there is a marked shift from a predominant orientation towards achieving gains in young adulthood and an increasingly stronger orientation towards maintenance and the avoidance of losses in older adulthood, reflecting increases in losses in various domains of functioning across adulthood. This shift in goal orientation appears to be adaptive in that older (but not younger) adults report higher well-being, are more persistent, and perform better when pursuing goals geared towards maintenance and loss-avoidance.

老年目标:我们年老时想要什么以及为什么它很重要



在整个生命周期中,目标会随着机会和需求的发展变化而变化,但它们也会带来技能和资源获取方面的发展变化。一般来说,在面对损失(补偿)时制定(选择)、追求(优化)和维持目标有助于整个生命周期的成功发展,尤其是健康老龄化。目标是动态的;他们的内容与发展目标同步变化。此外,从在成年早期获得收益的主导取向转向在老年时期越来越强烈地维持和避免损失的取向,这反映出成年期各个功能领域的损失增加。这种目标导向的转变似乎是适应性的,因为老年人(但不是年轻人)的幸福感更高,更持久,并且在追求旨在维持和避免损失的目标时表现更好。
