Abstract: | American males are known to find themselves in a stage similar to the turbulence and confusion of adolescence during the stage of mid-life. This stage, referred to by some as “midadolescence,” occurs between the late 30s and early 50s. Mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of mid-life males are frequently shaken to the core and have a definite impact on job satisfaction. Three major tasks are to be worked on during this time by men undergoing the aforementioned phenomenon: (a) terminating early adulthood, (b) dealing with polarities, and (c) initiating middle adulthood. |
