    Selective, Optimization, Compensation: Alabe, Meryll Anne Cabanilla, Jemmica Mei Urgino, Mary Kayshien Lei

    The document discusses the concepts of selective optimization and compensation from the lifespan development theory proposed by Paul and Margaret Baltes. Across a person's lifespan, they face opportunities and limitations that can be navigated through three processes: selection, optimization, and compensation. Selection involves setting goals through elective selection of focus areas or loss-based selection due to limitations. Optimization uses adaptive resources to achieve goals. Compensation involves using aids or adapting to achieve goals despite limitations. An example case discusses an elderly couple where the wife wants to move to a retirement community for social opportunities and peace of mind about her health, while the husband only agrees to move to care for his wife.

    SELECTIVE, OPTIMIZATION,
    COMPENSATION
    – Paul and Margaret Baltes (1997)
    – Across a person’s lifespan, he faces certain
    opportunities and limitations that can be
    navigated by an orchestration of three
    components: SELECTION, OPTIMIZATION, and
    COMPENSATION
    SELECTION
    -Setting goals
    SELECTION
    1.Elective Selection
    2.Loss-based selection
    Elective Selection
    E.g.
    Committing on oneself to focus on one’s career
    instead of one’s hobbies until a certain
    professional level is achieved.
    Loss-based selection
    E.G.
    Committing oneself to collecting stamps
    instead of playing tennis when arthritic pain
    becomes too bad to continue with tennis
    OPTIMIZATION
    Uses adaptive resources for goal
    attainment
    COMPENSATION
    E.g.
    Hearing aids, eye glasses, canes
    Case Scenario

    Mr. Peter (83 y/o) and Mrs. Mary Jane (81 y/o)
    Parker lived in a farm on the outskirts of town.
    They have been in this town for a long time,
    enjoying the peacefulness that a rural life offered
    them. They were no longer living with their four
    children since they have their own families.
    Mrs. Parker wanted to move because she had faced some
    health concerns and, being over 80y/o, wanted to move
    for a peace of mind. She had identified a retirement
    community in their town and hoping that her life would
    be optimized by the social possibilities available in the
    community. She stated that they lived a quiet life unlike
    her friends, who were busy volunteering and involved in
    community activities. She looked forward to having the
    possibility of friendships in the retirement community as a
    way to broaden their lives but Mr. Parker did not wish to
    move at all.
    Mr. Parker was not excited about the move, and even
    after the move, he stated in a soft voice that he was
    “still in transition”. He moved only for his wife,
    because he wanted her to be taken care of, in case
    anything should happen to him. He would not want
    her to be left alone with the home and adjacent farm.
