Midlife Crisis: Myth?

Middle-aged crisis: mythology. Please imagine asking yourself questions at the age of 40 or 50. Why am I sitting behind the table? When I was driving the BMW Z3, ​​what I was doing was running Grand Am in 1994. Then when you go home, your partner says, "Dear, I will make a promise to arrange for Dr. Sherwood." You answer "Why?" Start with symptoms and obtain expert assistance in response to symptoms.

Despite contradictory evidence, the concept of middle-aged crisis survived as a public myth about development between 40 and 50 years of life. The survival of the myth of the middle-aged crisis is an interesting phenomenon - it requires scientific explanation. The myths themselves seem to be very likely to achieve adaptive function, giving it reliability and flexibility. In a cross-sectional study of adults from the early adulthood to the old age (Heckhausen and Brim, 1997), the view that self and "recognition of other people of my age" is the view that most people have problems It reflects. And everyone thinks they are the preferred exception. Adults of all ages represent this trend and are particularly evident in functional areas (eg health, occupation, stagnation, conflict with children) in which corresponding adults are experiencing threats.

One of the most interesting puzzles of life development psychology is the myth of the middle age crisis, the mental health crisis that occurred in the middle age. In 1965, Elliott Jack proposed the meaning of death by psychoanalysis in the early Middle Ages (mid-1930s) and proposed middle-aged crisis as a normative crisis in the early adulthood. Although the concept of middle-aged crisis has attracted a lot of praise in the debate of science and public opinion, it could not get empirical support. According to an empirical survey, middle-aged development model of sustainable development, middle-aged development, maintains happiness, adaptability, adaptability; middle-aged mental health crisis is common or common I have not even discovered that it is even a development experience.
