Stages of Adulthood

  • Adulthood is divided into three stages: Early (18–40 years), Middle (40–60 years), and Late (60+ years).
  • Each stage brings new social expectations, roles, and responsibilities.
  • Adulthood is a period of adjustment involving changes in attitudes, interests, and values.
