Late
EARLY ADULTHOOD
21-34
There are wide variations in the way people experience early adulthood
Erikson’s core struggle: Intimacy versus Isolation
Emerging adulthood: a distinct period from both adolescence and young adulthood
Emerging adulthood offers rich opportunities for exploring personal identity in the areas of love, work, and values
MIDDLE ADULTHOOD
35-49
A time of going outside of ourselves
This can be a time of great productivity
Erikson’s core struggle: Generativity versus Stagnation
When we reach middle age, we come to a crossroads
LATE MIDDLE AGE
50 - 64
People often think of what they want to do with the rest of their lives
There are many positive and creative dimensions of middle age
A time to consider new sources of meaning in our lives
A time to examine priorities and make new decisions
LATE ADULTHOOD
65 +
Erikson’s core struggle: Integrity versus Despair
Prevalent themes often include loss, loneliness, dependency, regrets over past events and decisions
It is essential to challenge the stereotypes of late adulthood
The attitude an older person has about aging may be more important than chronological age
