Topic: Mid life crisis


  
  Mid-life crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mid-life crisis is an emotional state of doubt and anxiety in which a person becomes uncomfortable with the realization that life is halfway over.
There is some question whether a "mid-life crisis" is any different from "a crisis occurring in mid-life." One study found that only 23% of participants had what they called a "mid-life crisis," but in digging deeper, only 8% of the total said the crisis was associated with realizations about aging.
The same research found that the average age at onset of a self-described "mid-life crisis" was 46.

 Mid-Life Crisis: Recent Research
The term of "mid-life crisis" was originally coined by Jaques (1965) who claimed that people encounter a crisis as they realize their own mortality and a change in time frame from "time since birth" to "time left to live" (Shek, 1996).
Specifically, the mid-life crisis is often thought to include: worries about the future, inability to enjoy leisure time, a feeling that health is deteriorating, a negative evaluation of the marital relationship, a negative evaluation of work life, and stress arising from taking care of the elderly (Shek, 1996).
In a study conducted by Daniel Shek dealing with mid-life crisis in Chinese Men and Women, Levinson's theory of the presence of a mid-life crisis in middle aged men and women is argued.
