Abstract

Hooker and McAdams (2003) have expanded a structural personality model to include personality processes and the interactions among all six resulting foci. This explicit model can usefully enlarge the scope of research on aging and personality. Additional thought, however, is needed on the definition of processes and on the selection of phenomena to be studied at the level of characteristic adaptations.
