Abstract

This chapter addresses the notion of ‘active ageing’ and sets out how important the available opportunity structures are for the maintenance of physical, emotional, intellectual and social activity. Developing from this, central psychological constructs are discussed – these serve to emphasise the importance of openness to new ideas, the self-critical and, at the same time, accepting life review, the caring about young people and, finally, a co-responsible lifestyle for the quality of life and well-being in old age.
