Instruction
Question 1: The first woman shown in the video describes her life in terms of communion, or caring for others. Define communion, and provide an example. How does life at this stage show continuity across the life span? Remember her age and how one may have kids and parents getting older. The lady was 39 just fyi
Question 2: Describe the three adaptive processes identified by life span theorists (i.e., growth, maintenance, and regulation of loss) during this stage?
Question 3. Explain feelings of generativity and our understanding of generativity in middle adulthood.
Question 4. Contact your own parents, Or Aunt or a Friend or Relaive if possible, and ask about their experience during middle age (you can also do personal reflection if this applies). List three questions that you might ask to help them reflect on their lives, perhaps in new ways, and with attention to the key concepts raised in Chapter 13.
Question 5. Using Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development as a theoretical framework, describe how you imagine your activities and priorities are likely to change over the course of the next 20 to 30 years. Be sure to consider your prior experiences as predictors of your future, recognizing, of course, that the prediction isn’t perfect.
