The prevalence of individuals that have symptoms of dementia is much higher than I believed. Another misconception I had was believing elderly people were happier than younger individuals.

Generativity versus stagnation is the seventh stage and is the conflict most commonly associated with midlife. Erikson loosely defined generativity as “the concern in establishing and guiding the next generation”.

The self-theory tries to explain the core self and search to maintain one’s integrity and identity. The older adults tend to integrate and incorporate their various experiences with their vision and mission for their respective community (Berger, 2008). Also, the older people tend to feel that their attitude, personalities and beliefs have remained in a stable state over their lives even as they acknowledge that physical changes have taken place in their bodies.

  • Life Course Perspective: Understanding Human Development

    The principle of development and aging as a continual process of life is the understanding that a person’s behavior cannot be attributed to one time during a person’s life course and that all areas of a person’s life course have an impact (Schmalleger, 2012). One of the central organizing principles of the perspective is the link between human lives and social relationships with friends and family across a person’s life span.

    This resulted that emerging adult may not be as healthy as it was perceived (Fatusi & Hindin, 2010). With that, researchers had also found that majority of the bad health habits, such as inactivity, obesity and poor diet, which started in adolescence stage increased as the young people progress to emerging adult.

Cognitive development in emerging adult is relatively similar to adolescent’s though Piaget did affirm that emerging adult’s thinking are more quantitatively advanced as they carry a greater wealth of knowledge and especially so for a specific area (Santrock, 2013).

    In the 90’s, it was thought that personality traits stopped changing once we reached adulthood (McCrea & Costa, 1994). But, new research conducted has proven that statement to be false. When it comes to personality traits, it is defined as enduring patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that make a person unique and different than others (Roberts & Mroczek 2008). Roberts and Mroczek found that changes in self-confidence, warmth, self-control and emotional stability mostly occur between the ages of 20 and 40 (2008). That being said, they also found that mean-level change in personality traits also occur in middle and older aged people; meaning that personality traits can alter as time goes on.
