Three Models of Adult Development.
Levenson, Michael R.; Crumpler, Cheryl A.
Human Development, v39 n3 p135-49 May-Jun 1996
Compares ontogenetic models, which stress development through a series of stages; sociogenic models, which stress the influence of social context on adult behavior; and liberative models. Liberative models do not treat adult development as entirely dependent on biological or social determinism, and do stress individuals' conscious efforts at fostering behavioral change. (BC)
