Description

Hye Soo Lee and co-authors explore in 2023 what wisdom looks like in people growing old with a disability. Wisdom can lift well being and help a person cope with hard times, and hard times in turn can grow wisdom. The study draws on interviews with people aging with hearing, vision, or mobility limits, gathered to chart their challenges and coping strategies.

The authors mine those interviews for the advice participants would hand to others in the same boat, treating that advice as a window on lived wisdom. Studying this group pays twice, they argue. The coping know how can be shared with peers and the care networks around them. And researchers can design support around strengths people already show, not only their deficits. Wisdom here is read as something sparked between a person and a situation, assessed through a task that matches real life.
