Age as a Predictor of Faculty Productivity: Three Conceptual Approaches.

Lawrence, Janet H.; Blackburn, Robert T.

Journal of Higher Education, v59 n1 p22-38 Jan-Feb 1988

Two studies on faculty aging--one using a psychological/developmental framework and the other a sociological/socialization model--are critiqued. A life-course perspective is introduced and the questions raised by the methodology are discussed. The contributions of the life-course framework are demonstrated. (Author/MLW)
