Adulthood and Aging psychology

Young Adulthood From about 20-40 Starting a job Emotionally mature Getting married Having children Independence

Divorce About 40-50% of couples get divorced If you’ve had 1 divorce, you’re more likely to divorce again Change in values: staying together and raising a family has become less important than personal fulfillment and happiness Women’s economic independence Declining influence of family and religion Divorce laws have changed

Mid-life Crises More common in men than women Reassessing life (did they accomplish their dreams, etc . . .) Can be brought about by marital distress, extramarital affairs, change in jobs. Not everyone experiences this, some thrive in their forties.

Old Age Aging process begins the moment we are born Gradual loss of lean muscle tissue and bone mass This contributes to diminished vision and hearing Aging process can be slowed by proper nutrition and physical activity By 80 the brain will have lost 7% of its peak weight The brain loses neurons and some kinds of thinking can be slowed down However, the older brain compensates by increasing its “crystalline intelligence”, the ability to solve problems by using previously acquired knowledge or experience

Illness and death 5 stages to dealing with terminal illness: Denial Anger at fate (God, doctors, etc.) Bargaining (if I could just live until my son graduates . . . ) Depression Acceptance Individual reactions vary Advanced Directives are important

Illness and death Stages of the loss of a loved one: Shock and numbness (during funeral planning, etc.) Acute pangs of grief A period of searching (still think of the person in the present) Dreams or hallucinations of the loved one Dying of a broken heart: One study found that husbands had a 33% increase of death within the first 3 months of their wives death, most from coronary disease.
