Activities Adaptation & Aging

期刊简介：Since its inception in 1981, Activities, Adaptation & Aging (AAA) has established itself as one of the leading and oldest double anonymized peer-reviewed international journals within the field of gerontology. AAA publishes innovative, provocative, and rigorous research regarding the implications of various activities on older adults’ quality of life. The journal seeks to lead with a collection of insightful research and thought leadership to promote culture change/transformation and pragmatic innovations for healthy aging. Transforming institutional culture is needed in all settings where older adults reside. Both the field of gerontology and the places where people work, but more importantly where older adults also live, need a strong push toward normalcy. This journal stands for a new concept that each older adult ages in a place of choice and thus strives to highlight pragmatic solutions developed to enable older adults to live with purpose and dignity, resonating with the needs and preferences, voices, and choices of older adults. As a result of this new focus, the new secondary title of AAA is Purposeful and Dignified Living for Older Adults . What we publish AAA welcomes submissions that demonstrate an awareness of the journal’s body of knowledge, language requirement, topical coverage, and methodological preferences. Language Submissions to AAA should use respectful, non-ageist language (see “How to avoid ageist language in aging research: An overview and guidelines” in Activities, Adaptation & Aging ). Submissions that demonstrate the unwarranted use of ageist language (e.g., “elderly” who are ”admitted”, “discharged”, or “managed” in “institutions”) will be rejected. Topics A focus on life and living more than care Active aging / healthy aging / seamless aging / successful aging Aging in place / aging in a place of choice Assisted and independent living Community-dwelling older adults Culture change and transformation Impact of particular activities (e.g., art, educational class, charity, dance, exercise, music, etc. + “how to” guide) Life satisfaction and quality of life Long-term care / nursing home Meaning and purpose Memory care / serving people with dementia Mobility / movement and solutions Socialization and social influence and contributing to one’s community Technology-mediated activities and solutions Wellbeing New theories, frameworks, and models relevant for older adults Recent trends in aging (by invitation only – contact Editor before developing/submitting) Methodologies (focusing on completed studies, not work in progress) Case studies using single case or multiple cases Conceptual studies with appropriate conceptual methodology (see “Designing conceptual articles: Four approaches” in AMS Review) Experimental studiesinvolving pretest-posttest and posttest-only randomized and quasi experiment Methodological studies involving “how-to” guides but not “untested study protocols” (by invitation only – contact Editor before developing/submitting) Qualitative studies involving individual and focus group interviews Quantitative studies involving regression-based analysis and test of difference Systematic review studies with appropriate review methodology (see “Advancing knowledge through literature reviews: ‘What’, ‘why’, and ‘how to contribute’” in The Service Industries Journal) Read our free access editorials to learn more about current discussions in the AAA .
