About Us

APA's Div. 20 (Adult Development and Aging) strives to advance the study of psychological development and change throughout the adult years. We invite membership from psychologists who provide services to older adults, conduct research on adult development and aging or are interested in learning more about or teaching lifespan development and aging. The division has a strong mentorship focus; we invite and encourage participation from students and emerging professionals who share our interests.

Div. 20 offers several publications to members, including the newsletter Adult Development and Aging News, and the Guide to Graduate Study in the Psychology of Adult Development and Aging.
