Many things in middle adulthood are positive. For example, you have the benefits of experience and status. Because you have experience, you will perceive events that you have experienced before as less stressful. Take pretty much any event, like giving presentations at work. Public speaking is frightening for most people, but if you have done it enough, it is not so bad and may even be fun. Because you have status, meaning that you have proven yourself in your job, for example, you have more control over things like your work hours and will make more money and have other benefits. Your assignment has two parts: (1) Think of at least five other positive things about middle adulthood and list them. Then give an example of each, as above. (2) Think about how, in many ways, our society values youth over wisdom. Write an essay of at least five hundred words on what is wrong with that. In particular, answer these questions: (a) What might our society be missing out on by judging people's value by their youthful looks?; (b) What are some examples of this?; and (c) What might we do as a society to change this?

Until the 1970s, psychologists tended to treat adulthood as a single developmental stage, with few or no distinctions made between the various periods that we pass through between adolescence and death. Present-day psychologists realize, however, that physical, cognitive, and emotional responses continue to develop throughout life, with corresponding changes in our social needs and desires. Thus the three stages of early adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood each have their own physical, cognitive, and social challenges.

In this section, we will consider the development of our cognitive and physical aspects that occur during early adulthood and middle adulthood — roughly the ages between 25 and 45 and between 45 and 65, respectively. These stages represent a long period of time — longer, in fact, than any of the other developmental stages — and the bulk of our lives is spent in them. These are also the periods in which most of us make our most substantial contributions to society, by meeting two of Erik Erikson’s life challenges: we learn to give and receive love in a close, long-term relationship, and we develop an interest in guiding the development of the next generation, often by becoming parents.
