Frank A. Drews, Monisha Pasupathi, and David L. Strayer

University of Utah

After reading the article, consider the following:

1. What was measured? How did the researchers measure driving errors?

2. What did they do?

a. Describe how well you think the sample of participants in this
study generalizes to other groups of people.

b. In this study, participants were told to have a conversation about
a time when “their lives were threatened.” Do you think that the
results of this study would be different if the conversation were
about something else? How so? Why?

3. How do you know one thing caused another? Evaluate the internal
validity of this study. Explain your answer.

4. To whom or what can we generalize the results?

a. Do you think that the findings from this study would generalize to
other cultures? Do you think that samples of college students in
Mexico, Italy, and Germany would generate similar results? Why or why
not?

b. Evaluate the external validity of this study. Explain your answer.

c. How well do you think the driving simulator generalizes to
real-world driving? What would you change to improve the

Rowe and Kahn (1987) defined “successful aging”

/in /by

Rowe and Kahn (1987) defined “successful aging” as

  • 1) being free from disability or disease,
  • 2) having high cognitive and physical functioning
  • 3) having meaningful relationships. What is wrong with this definition of successful aging?

Can a person with a disability age successfully? How about a person with dementia?

Based on your review of the learning resources, how would you define successful aging? Be sure to cite the evidence that supports your definition.

Toomey links successful aging with the Japanese word “ikigai,” which means “having a purpose in life.” Do you agree that purpose is essential to successful aging, or do you think that one can age successfully without it? Do you have an “ikigai?”
