Age-Period Cohort Effects
- How do you interpret the National Center for Health Statistics timeline listed in this lesson’s readings?
- Informally survey someone you know well who is a member of one of these three cohorts. Pose the following question: What were some of the key historical events during your life that you remember as being important/significant? Briefly summarize your findings.
- Many gerontologists argue that “cohort effects” and “historical period effects” (e.g., September 11, the Vietnam War, and the Great Depression) are equally important with chronological age in shaping an individual’s experience of aging.
- What are your views based upon the research and/or your experiences?
