Time perspective and positive aging
Pio Enrico Ricci Bitti, Manuela Zambianchi, Joanna Bitner
pp. 437-450
Within the debate on the concept of "positive aging", the paper considers the role of time perspective as a relevant factor in promoting health and well being in old age. The chapter consists of four paragraphs. The first one focuses on the main contemporary theoretical models on positive aging that include the time dimension as a central feature or resource for aging well; the second paragraph addresses the relevance of time dimensions for adopting a healthy life style; the third paragraph considers the relevance of time perspective in promoting well-being; finally the last paragraph analyses the phenomenon of resilience as "hallmark" of successful aging discussing the role of time perspective in the "resilient agers".
