Question

Gisela Labouvie-Vief and her colleagues emphasize that in middle age, individuals become ______ inwardly reflective and ______ context-dependent in their thinking than they were as young adults.

Answer 1

Answer:

more; less

Explanation:

Gisela Labouvie-Vief  in 1980 worked on Jean Piaget's cognitive-development theory and extended it into adulthood. This was done by offering a theory of pragmatic thought and cognitive-emotional complexity that sees adult development as an active process of constructing successively more adaptive levels of activity.

It should be understood that, the focus of her research was  on the changes in self and emotions over the adult life span.

In summary, her research made it known that people of middle age depend less on their thinking than they were as young adults.

-Become more skeptical about the truth and seem unwilling to accept an answer as final

-Understand that thinking can't always be abstract; in some instances, it must be realistic and pragmatic

-Understand that thinking is influenced by emotions
