Detailed explanation-1: -According to Levinson’s (1996)theory, early adulthood is an ideal period for studying the concept of life structure. Early adulthood includes psycho-social development domains such as development of self, emotional development, marriage and family life, social relationships, professional life, and career organization.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to Levinson the midlife transition (40-45) was a time of reevaluating previous commitments; making dramatic changes if necessary; giving expression to previously ignored talents or aspirations; and feeling more of a sense of urgency about life and its meaning.
Detailed explanation-3: -Let’s begin with a crucial aspect of Levinson’s theory-a concept he terms the life structure. This term refers to the underlying patterns of a person’s life at a particular time, an evolving cognitive framework reflecting an individual’s views about the nature and meaning of his or her life.
