Study Notes
Physical and Cognitive Development in Early Adulthood
- Emerging Adulthood (18-25): Transition from adolescence to adulthood, with a slightly higher death rate than adolescence.
- Top-dog Phenomenon: Replays after high school, transition to larger, impersonal school structures, experiences with diverse peers.
- Obesity: Linked to increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
- Diet and Exercise: Diet-plus-exercise programs show greater weight loss than diet-only programs.
- Binge Eating Disorder (BED): Frequent binge eating without compensatory behaviors.
- Aerobic Exercise: Sustained exercise benefiting heart and lung activity, helps prevent chronic disorders.
- Substance Use: Alcoholism is long-term, repeated, uncontrolled, compulsive use. Binge drinking (5+ drinks in a row) and extreme binge drinking (10-15+ drinks in a row) are problematic.
- Smoking: Nicotine stimulates neurotransmitters (dopamine) for calming/pain reduction.
- Sexual Behavior: Males often engage in more risky sexual behavior, particularly unprotected sex, while females are more selective.
- Sexual Orientation: 3.8% of U.S. adults identify as gay.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Spread through sexual contact. Bacterial (gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia) and viral (genital herpes, genital warts, HIV) infections exist. HIV destroys the immune system, leading to AIDS.
- Violence: Date or acquaintance rape involves coercive sexual activity.
- Cognitive Development: Postformal thought is reflective, relativistic, and contextual, provisional, realistic, and emotion-influenced. Creativity peaks in adulthood (often in the 40s) and then declines.
Socioemotional Development in Early Adulthood
- Temperament: Individual behavioral style and emotional responses. Easy temperaments are more likely to be well-adjusted.
- Attachment Styles: Attachment styles influence relationships.
- Secure: Positive views of relationships, ease with closeness.
- Avoidant: Hesitant relationships, distancing.
- Anxious: Demanding closeness, mistrust, possessiveness.
- Relationship Selection: People seek those with similar attitudes, values, and lifestyles (consensual validation). Matching hypothesis: we often choose partners near our own attractiveness level.
- Intimacy vs. Isolation: Finding oneself while losing oneself in another, failure to achieve intimacy leads to isolation.
- Types of Love: Romantic (passionate/eros), affectionate (companionate), consummate (passion, intimacy, commitment).
- Divorce: Different pathways after divorce observed.
Physical and Cognitive Development in Middle Adulthood
- Overall Health: Today's 50-year-olds are often healthier than previous generations.
- Age Identity: Age identity is often younger than chronological age in middle adulthood.
- Sarcopenia: Age-related loss of muscle mass and strength.
- Sensory Changes: Vision accommodation declines in middle age.
- Metabolic Syndrome: Hypertension, obesity, and insulin resistance affect cardiovascular health.
- Sleep: Need for 8+ hours of sleep.
- Chronic Diseases: Slow onset, long duration, increase in middle age.
- Climacteric: Midlife transitional period of fertility decline.
- Menopause: Cessation of menstrual periods. Perimenopause is the transitional period.
- Erectile Dysfunction: Affects ~50% of men 40–70.
- Cognitive Abilities:
- Crystallized Intelligence: Information and verbal skills; increase in middle adulthood.
- Fluid Intelligence: Abstract reasoning; may decline in middle adulthood.
- Information Processing Speed: Declines in middle adulthood, slower reaction times.
- Working Memory: Capacity becomes more limited.
- Religion and Spirituality: Religion is organized beliefs and practices. Religiousness involves affiliation and practices. Spirituality is beyond oneself, benefiting others and society
