Age crises in human life in men and women, the book Koshyakova
Age crises in human life are special short periods of transition in the developmental age to the next stage, which are characterized by special psychological changes. They are caused by the destruction of the social position of development and the origin of the other, which corresponds to a new level of personality development.
The form, duration and force of the course of age crises depends on individual characteristics of a person, social conditions, level of upbringing, the education system. Each such crisis is a change in the status of a person in relation to society, a change in personal outlook. Here, the main thing is to correctly perceive yourself new, in order to overcome psychological difficulties more easily.
Children's age crises
During the periods of children's age crises, the structure of the child's consciousness changes. Negation, capriciousness, stubbornness and increased conflict are greatly exacerbated if adults ignore the new needs of children in communication. Children's crises include: the crisis of the first year, three years, seven years and the first adolescent crisis of 11 years.
Adult age crises
Age crises in adult people are much less common than in children. They pass less pronounced. All perestroika of consciousness and new orientations in life have a hidden, but powerful influence on the further development of the personality. The first youth crisis occurs at the age of 17-20 years. A person is already considered an adult, and he tries to prove it first of all to himself. Here begins the time of the first responsibility: the army, admission to the institute, work, family experience.
The next crisis comes in the period of approaching the thirtieth anniversary. During this period, the view of life is more conscious, a desire for stability and peace appears. Most people plan at this time to do all the necessary things that make sense of the whole life. In women, age-related personality crises are much easier than for men. Increased sense of responsibility from the very youth fills all and new emotions are perceived as something necessary and pleasantly happening.
In the future, crises occur in 40-45 years and after 60. They accompany a person throughout their lives, and help individuals to find their own life position and form of relationships with the outside world.
