Middle adulthood can be a very influential time in someone’s life.

Emotional intelligence & social intelligence

Understanding why people behave the way that they do during their middle adulthood years will help social workers and other professionals to be able to relate to their clients.

Intelligence comes from having the ability to read the intimate zone, facial expressions, & the environment

Peck mentioned that due to the loss of friends, family, or spouse as well as the inability to perform certain activities, a person must be emotionally flexible and accept the changes that are occurring (Zastrow, C. & Kirst-Ashman, K.K, 2013).

As the population ages, their priorities begin to change and this includes the human relationship and seeking companions for a non-sexual relationship.

Understanding the stages a person has to face will help determine the services that will be benefical

Peck's Theory

This theory has four stages. Each of these stages help to explain the progression that an adult goes through psychologically while they grow & mature. Successful movement through these stages can equate to a healthy transition from middle adulthood to late adulthood.
