摘要：The psychology of the life span and the sociology of the life course share the
same object of scientific inquiry - the lives of women and men from birth to
death. Both are part of an interdisciplinary field focused on individual
development and life course patterns which also includes social demography and
human capital economics. However, a closer look shows that life span psychology
and life course sociology now to stand further apart than in the seventies. In
this paper we reassess how this divergence can be understood in terms of
necessary and legitimate strengths of both approaches, as well as avoidable
weaknesses which could be overcome in the future by more re-combination and
integration.
