metadata.value: This paper considers the psychological content of gerotranscendence theory by L. Tornstam. Aging is
  a complex and multilevel process. The present paper examines the paradigm of the biopsychosocial
  model that encompasses the biological, psychological and social level, and psychological characteristics
  are seen as possible moderators of both biological and social levels. Gerotranscendence theory
  is a systemic model of optimal aging that includes a set of transitions taking place at the level of the
  personality, society and cosmos. This model offers an explanation for the specifics of psychological
  reflection of realm and interaction with the world in aging. This paper suggests predictors, factors and possible outcomes of the gerotranscendence changes on most general characteristics of one’s functioning
  such as psychological well-being and health. In the paper we hypothesize two alternative models
  of the formation of gerotranscendence: normative and qualitative. We describe possible triggers for
  its formation, and show that gerotranscendence can be seen as obligatory formation of aging or as a
  qualitative change. Refs 14. Figs 3.
