Adult Male Development At the forefront of this research was Daniel Levinson. Extensive, longitudinal study to identify these adult male developmental stages. Selected men from a variety of different career fields. Key areas of focus: education, work, leisure, politics, and relationships with family and friends. Used their findings to determine life structure= combination of statuses, roles, activities, goals, values, beliefs, and circumstances of an individual.

Adult Male Development Were able to distinguish patterns, or generalized characteristics for all adult males. Three major eras: Early adulthood (Age 17-39) Middle adulthood (Age 40-59) Late adulthood (Age 60-75+) Alternating time periods of transition and stability.

Adult Male Development Levinson stressed the importance of the first 5 stages in adult male development. Early Adult Transition (17-22 years) - Focus on leaving home, physically and psychologically Entering the Adult World (23-27 years) Explore relationships and career opportunities Become a responsible member of society to form stable life structure. Development of ‘adult accomplishment’ dream.

Adult Male Development The Age 30 Transition (28-32 years) Reflect on the choices you have made. End of Levinson’s novice phase= time when men prepare to enter the adult world. The Settling Down Period (33-39 years) Establish oneself in society Form true commitments– both personal and professional Fulfill dreams B.O.O.M. (Becoming One Own’s Man)– separate from a mentor (someone who fosters an individual’s development).

Adult Male Development The Midlife Transition (40- 44 years) Re-examine, sometimes realizing that previous dreams are unrealistic. Adjust accordingly. Period of moderate to severe crisis (80%). Subjects went through the study at the same time. Degree of difficulty in a period depends on mastery of previous stage.

Adult Female Development Repeated life-structure study with women. Conclusions: Men and women go through same stages of adult development. Men and women deal with developmental tasks in each stage differently. However, not everyone agrees with Levinson. Irene Frieze and Esther Sales are two such individuals. Suggested three phases of adult female development.

Adult Female Development Phase 1: Leaving the Family Leave home, break from parents and develop a plan. Focus less on a career than on marriage. Phase 2: Entering the Adult World Dual roles between motherhood and a career. Job advancement opportunities lessen when women stay home with children. Break in employment is distinctly female.

Adult Female Development Phase 3: Entering the Adult World Again Women re-enter the workforce when children reach school age. Coincides with the time that males are having doubts about own careers. Prevalence of women in career positions is increasing. Over the past few years, developmental patterns of men and women are merging, data shows.

The World of Work Chapter 7, Section 2

The Labor Force Labor force= all individuals age 16 and older who are employed in paid positions or seeking paid employment. Who makes up the labor force is changing. Growing presence of women in the workforce. Rise in minority workers. Higher education level of those in workforce. Profession= a high-status occupation that requires formal skills, often through formal education. What are some examples?

The Changing Nature of Work Since 1900, we have seen a drastic shift in the fields where most people are employed. 1900: Farming 35% Manufacturing/physical labor 45 Services 20% 2000: Farming and manufacturing 27% Professional/service jobs 73%

Unemployment Unemployment= when an individual does not have a job and is actively seeking employment. Unemployment rate= percentage of civilian labor force that does not have a job, and is actively seeking one. Factors influencing unemployment: Age Gender Race Cultural background U.S. considers full employment around 95%

Analyze the Graph!

Job Satisfaction The majority of people are satisfied with their job. (some) Factors contributing to satisfaction: (choose 3 to write in your notes) Control over work Utilization of skills and talents Recognition and appreciation Positive relationships w/co-workers Safe working conditions Flexible hours Job security

Job Satisfaction (some) Factors contributing to dissatisfaction: (choose 2!) Stress Income Promotion chances Benefits Because of this satisfaction, some people switch jobs. Between the ages of 18 and 34, an individual holds roughly 9 jobs. Average amount of time at current job: 3.5 years Changing careers, as well… 5-6 careers in a lifetime.

Clarification What’s the difference between a job and a career? Career What is it?: A career is the pursuit of a lifelong ambition or the general course of progression towards lifelong goals. Job is an activity through which an individual can earn money. It is a regular activity in exchange of payment. Requires: Usually requires special training Education or Special training may or may not be required Risk taking: A career may not mean stability of work as it encourages one to take risks A job is “safe”, as stability of work and income is there. Time: Long term Short term Income: High Low

The Later Years

Changes in Older Adults Gerontology= the scientific study of the processes and phenomenon of aging. Social gerontology= study of the nonphysical aspects of the aging process. Topics of study for social gerontologists differ based on the age of the individual. Young-old= ages 65-74; focuses on adjustment to retirement. Middle-old= 75-84 Old-old= 85+ Issues facing the last two groups include declining physical and mental functioning, dependency and death.

Adjustment to Retirement The adjustment to retirement can be difficult for some seniors, but not as many as one would think. Emphasis placed on occupation throughout life. Factors affecting adjustment: Income Health Social networks (ties to family, friends and the community) Identity Individuals who do not have strong social networks and self-identities can be more prone to suicide. Higher rates in white males over 65– possibly due to their attachment to their careers.

Physical and Mental Decline As the body declines, so does an individual’s ability to complete tasks quickly. Contrary to popular belief, though, most elderly individuals retain their intellectual abilities. Intelligence, learning and memory do decline. Marked mental decline, or dementia, is most commonly seen in the form of Alzheimer’s disease. An organic condition that results in the progressive deterioration of brain cells. ~15% of the population suffers from Alzheimer’s.

Dependency Dependency= shift from being an independent adult to being dependent on others for physical or financial assistance. Changes an individual’s status in society. Changes in roles between parent and children. Retirement can provide a sense of freedom for some, though. New opportunities– classes, activities, hobbies. Active role in politics: Gray Panthers; American Association of Retired Persons. Those that are better prepared are more likely to thrive in their elderly years.
