Participatory Design with Older Adults: An Analysis of Creativity in the Design of Mobile Healthcare Applications
"... Researchers often use participatory design – involving end-users in technology ideation – as this is found to lead to more useful and relevant products. Researchers have sought to involve older adults in the design of emerging technologies like smartphones, with which older adults often have little ..."

quickly. We found evidence that critiquing existing applications prior to ideation did more harm than good, potentially due to design fixation. We recommend continuing to involve older adults in the technology design ideation phase. Author Keywords Participatory design; older adults; creativity; design
Happiness is everything, or is it? Explorations on the meaning of psychological well-being
, 1989
"... Reigning measures of psychological well-being have little theoretical grounding, despite an extensive literature on the contours of positive functioning.

Risk and protective factors for alcohol and other drug problems in adolescence and early adulthood: Implications for substance abuse prevention

Adolescence-limited and life-course-persistent antisocial behavior: Adevelopmental taxonomy

A dual taxonomy is presented to reconcile 2 incongruous facts about antisocial behavior: (a) It shows impressive continuity over age, but (b) its prevalence changes dramatically over age, increasing almost 10-fold temporarily during adolescence.

A dual taxonomy is presented to reconcile 2 incongruous facts about antisocial behavior: (a) It shows impressive continuity over age, but (b) its prevalence changes dramatically over age, increasing almost 10-fold temporarily during adolescence. This article suggests that delinquency conceals 2 distinct categories of individuals, each with a unique natural history and etiology: A small group engages in antisocial behavior of 1 sort or another at every life stage, whereas a larger group is antisocial only during adolescence. According to the theory of life-course-persistent antisocial behavior, children's neuropsychological problems interact cumulatively with their criminogenic environments across development, culminating in a pathological personality. According to the theory of adolescence-limited antisocial behavior, a contemporary maturity gap encourages teens to mimic antisocial behavior in ways that are normative and adjustive. There are marked individual differences in the stability of antisocial behavior. Many people behave antisocially, but their antisocial behavior is temporary and situational. In contrast, the antisocial behavior of some people is very stable and persistent. Temporary, situational ' antisocial behavior is quite common in the population, especially among adolescents. Persistent, stable antisocial behavior is found among a relatively small number of males whose behavior problems are also quite extreme. The central tenet of this article is that temporary versus persistent antisocial persons constitute two qualitatively distinct types of persons. In particular, I suggest that juvenile delinquency conceals two qualitatively distinct categories of individuals, each in need of its own distinct theoretical explanation. Of course, systems for classifying types of antisocial persons have been introduced before (e. g.,
