title: [Giessen test of the aging dynamics of social behavior].
abstract: The Giessen-test was applied during gerontological complex investigations to study the biological ages of predominantly professionally engaged Leipzig citizens. Four dimensions of this psycho-diagnostical procedure showed a clear age-characteristic confirming the tendencially known features of psycho-social ageing. The achieved results point again to the fact that the deficit-model of ageing processes is not justified in psycho-social relations, in particular. The experiences of this experimental series claim further that the Giessen Test should be applied with old-age people reserve only because of the methodical problems implied.
