socioemotional selectivity theory  

Definición

  • This entry describes a life-span theory of motivation that offers an explanatory framework and testable hypotheses about the ways in which perceived endings affect goals, preferences, and even cognitive processing. Because aging is associated with time left in life, the theory predicts reliable age differences in these domains. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Socioemotional Selectivity Theory]
