衰老是在环境中发生的。在过去五十年的研究中,解决衰老过程的过程和方向的背景作用已经成为社会和行为老年学中生命过程或寿命观点的一个基本要素(例如,P. B. Baltes,1987; Carp,1967; Dannefer,1992; Kleemeier,1959; Lawton,1976,1985; Rebok & Hoyer,1977)。当衰老的过程和结果是分析的目标时,这种对人及其环境中的资源(或限制)的引用甚至达到了社会和行为老年学研究范式的地位。然而,构成背景的因素往往是不言而喻的。人们甚至可以称之为“写作习惯”,以暗示社会和物理环境的特点时,解决老化的背景。此外,“语言游戏”(使用维特根斯坦的术语)指的是社会和物理环境,以描述和解释老化是非常常见的老年学和寿命文学。通常情况下,学者们使用这种语言游戏的意思是理所当然的。然而,随着时间的推移,写作习惯和玩语言游戏往往会假装存在一种已被证明的知识,而这种知识似乎不再值得精确地拼写出来。本章首先假定,同时提及社会环境和物质环境的理由仍然需要这样详细说明。也许这是有充分理由的
Aging occurs in context. Addressing the role of context for the course and direction of aging processes has become an essential element of lifecourse or lifespan perspectives in social and behavioral gerontology over the past five decades of research (e.g., P. B. Baltes, 1987; Carp, 1967; Dannefer, 1992; Kleemeier, 1959; Lawton, 1976, 1985; Rebok & Hoyer, 1977). When the process and outcome of aging is the target of analysis, such reference to resources (or constraints) in the person and her or his environment has even reached the status of a research paradigm in social and behavioral gerontology. However, it often remains unspoken what constitutes the context. One might even call it a “writing habit” to imply both social and physical environmental characteristics when addressing the context of aging. Furthermore, the “language game” (to use Wittgenstein’s term) of referring to both the social and the physical context in order to describe and explain aging is very common in gerontology and lifespan literature. Normally, what is meant when scholars use such a language game is taken for granted. However, writing habits and the playing out of language games tend, over time, to pretend the existence of a proven knowledge, which no longer appears to deserve exact spelling out. This chapter starts with the assumption that the rationale behind referring simultaneously to the social and physical environment still is in need of such spelling out. Perhaps there were even good reasons why this was
