Describe why adult development and aging is best examined from a multidisciplinary perspective

ANSWER:


To understand the complete aging person, one must examine the biological, cognitive, social, and emotional aspects of their lives. Furthermore, the person's culture and historical time must be taken into account as well. This multiperspective, multidisciplinary approach gives a more complete view of people and how they change over time. Focusing on one or even two of these forces would give an incomplete view of an individual.
