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

EARLY ADULTHOOD:EMERGING ADULTHOOD

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

You know you are middle aged if….

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
