adulthood
-the period of time in your life after your physical growth has stopped and you are fully developed.
- the state (and responsibilities) of a person who has attained maturity.
During Adulthood we pass through three major crises:
Intimacy vs. isolation
intimacy
close or warm friendship or understanding; personal relationship
a feeling of being intimate and belonging together; "their closeness grew as the night wore on"
isolation
- a state of separation between persons or groups.
-the state of lacking unity.
-the state or situation of being alone.
Generativity vs. Self-absorption
generativity
a concern for people besides self and family that usually develops during middle age; especially : a need to nurture and guide younger people and contribute to the next generation.
Self-absorption
Where the person feels that his or her life own life is only one thing that matters.
integrity vs. despair
integrity
Looks back over life as whole.
despair
someone or something that causes hopelessness
Physical change during adulthood
Early adulthood
In early adulthood is the first stage of adulthood in which the body physically changes. In this stage, a person may continue to add a bit of height and weight to her teenage frame. The body continues to undergo significant hormonal changes. These changes may make beards grow a bit thicker and the voice to become slightly deeper and richer. This is the period in which women usually have children, so it is the time in which women gain a little weight and finish their full breast development.
Middle Adulthood
Middle adulthood is the second stage of adulthood in which one of the most noticeable changes is loss of elasticity in the skin, especially in the face. This results in lines and wrinkles that are seen as one of the first signs of aging. Men usually gain weight in the abdominal region, while women gain weight in the hips and thighs. Strength and flexibility in both genders wane. Women usually experience hormonal changes during this period that result in the loss of the ability to reproduce, a process called menopause. Both genders may experience graying of the hair or the hair may thin.
Late Adulthood
Late adulthood is the final stage of physical change. The skin continues to lose elasticity as it did in middle adulthood and the result is deeper lines and wrinkles. Age spots, or brown spots on the skin, often form. Eyesight deteriorates, which causes many seniors to need glasses. Reaction time also slows.
