Young Adulthood to Later Adulthood Scenarios

Socioemotional development is, by no means, limited to the young. As we enter adulthood and progress toward old age, we experience any number of changes in our sense of self and our relationships with others.To prepare for this Discussion, review this week's Learning Resources.By Day 3, post a comprehensive response to one of the following:

  • Consider what you have been exposed to in the Learning Resources about the various stages of development. What challenges does a young adult face in establishing independence?
  • Consider a midlife transition from the following list: menopause, job loss, marriage, divorce, empty nesting, nurturing children and parents (care giving). How might one of the dimensions of personality presented in the five factor models (see Section 13.3 of your textbook) affect an individual's ability to cope with this midlife transition?
  • From the socioemotional perspective, discuss the issues that an individual may confront when planning for the transition to retirement.

Include specific examples to help support your position. Be sure to use supporting documentation and cite your sources in correct APA format.
