Still, geometrical constraints limit the concentration to about 2000 suns for mirror quality errors of 5 mr. Optimization of the compensation effect holds potential for improved performance for other concentrator designs.
Baltes and Baltes 11 also defined a psychological model for the study of successful aging – the theory of selective optimization with compensation.
Baltes is well known for his aging theory of selective optimization with compensation (SOC). 2 Very briefly, selection implies focusing on areas of high priority as age-related losses in functioning put a limit to previous possibilities.
For example, the theory of selective optimization with compensation suggests that as individuals age, they try to maximize positive experiences and minimize negative experiences (e.g., family disagreements) [ 34].
Furthermore, the model of selective optimization with compensation [ 46] also offers a theoretical basis for why items from different subscales form a unidimensional construct in the QuIKS-R, as it provides an explanation of the process of adaptation in people with knee pain problems.
Similarly, in advanced cancer, coping and adaptation often necessitates clarifying and shifting life goals and goals of care while simultaneously modifying strategies for optimization with compensation from the early treatment phase through end of life.
They are instructed in applying the theory of successful aging as "selective optimization with compensation" to foster effective coping and adaptation among recently diagnosed late-stage cancer patients through end of life.
Baltes and Baltes (1990) developed a theoretical model of successful aging that proffers selective optimization with compensation over the lifespan.
Baethge et al. (2016) have shown empirically that the influence of MWL on performance quality is moderated by the way in which selection, optimization, and compensation of resources and goals are handled by nurses.
First, based on a model of successful aging over the lifespan (Baltes and Baltes 1990; Baltes 1997), the intervention offers patients ongoing coping and communication support to facilitate selective optimization with compensation that may effectively maintain and achieve evolving goals.
Primarily drawing from data from the 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development, we discuss research using the Selection, Optimization, and Compensation model of Baltes, Freund and colleagues, measures of which have been linked to a variety of positive developmental outcomes in adolescence.
