“…Even though we did not specifically address the accuracy of people's aging perceptions, it is important to note that many studies have found considerable similarity between retrospective and concurrent perceptions of personality change (Harker & Soloman, 1996;Helson & Wink, 1992;Ryff, 1982;Stewart et al, 2001;Zucker et al, 2002). For example, Zucker et al (2002) found substantial overlap between concurrent and retrospective reports of feelings of identity certainty, confident power, generativity, and concern about aging (the domains examined in the present study).…”

This study explored the applicability of previous research (obtained with groups of college-educated women) about the subjective experience of aging in midlife to men and less-educated people. Two-hundred fifty-nine men and women who graduated from a public high school in 1955-1957 retrospectively assessed their feelings of identity certainty, confident power, generativity, and concern about aging for their 60s, 40s, and 20s. Participants reported higher levels of identity certainty, confident power, and concern about aging at each age, and a leveling off of generativity in their 60s. There were some gender and social class differences. Although men and women recalled the same trajectory of these feelings, men reported higher levels of identity certainty and confident power across age. Non-college-educated men recalled the highest levels of concern about aging across age. We discuss how these findings add to our understanding of the experience of aging in these domains.

“…The fact that Affiliation showed an unexpected trend-level relationship with the average child index for fathers may be influenced in part by the increase on Affiliation shown by many fathers between young adulthood and mature middle age (Wink & Helson, 1993). Theories of differences in parental personality emphasize the period when children are young, though some predict a lessening of gender differences in the parents' later adulthood (e.g., Gutmann, 1987), as was found in the Mills Study (Harker & Solomon, 1996;Wink & Helson, 1993).…”

This longitudinal study of several aspects of parenting examines how children "turn out" as adults. Ratings of adjustment (educational and occupational attainment as well as social and emotional maturity) in young adult children (aged 25-37) were made on the basis of information from 64 mothers who were participants in a longitudinal study of women's lives. As hypothesized, mothers who were demanding yet responsive, sensitive, and psychologically mature at ages 27 and 43 had children with higher overall adult adjustment scores. Other factors correlated with adjustment included the mother's long-term commitment to being a wife and mother, and the cohesiveness of the home environment. In their 50s, characteristics of parents associated with adult child adjustment were different for men and women (competence in women and forcefulness and individuality in men). Divorce was not a negative factor, and mothers' paid work (after age 27) was positive at a trend level.

“…Koncepcja własnej osoby podlega dalszym modyfikacjom pod wpływem zadań rozwojowych i doświadczeń związanych z odgrywaniem nowych ról społecznych, a także postępującej zmiany rozwojowej w zakresie możliwości poznawczych, którymi dysponuje jednostka na różnych etapach dorosłego życia. W okresie wczesnej dorosłości kobiety i mężczyźni często zmieniają hierarchię celów i wartości (Harker, Solomon, 1996), które stanowią podstawę bardziej realistycznego w porównaniu z adolescencją, światopoglądu. Tożsamość młodych dorosłych kształtuje się przede wszystkim w kontekście dwóch obszarów doświadczeń: związanych z aktywnością zawodową oraz relacji społecznych, szczególnie w kontaktach intymnych.…”

The article attempts to define the relationship between cognitive competences and identity styles in different periods of life: adolescence, early, middle and late adulthood. It also examines whether there are differences between the age groups in the dominant style of identity and in cognitive competences (formal and post-formal thinking). The 495 participants: 192 adolescents, 131 young adults, 91 adults and 81 seniors were tested in a baseline study using the Test of Formal Thinking (Horneman, Longeot) and the Identity Styles Questionnaire: ISI-3 (Berzonsky). In an additional pilot study, 281 participants: 166 adolescents, 87 young adults and 28 seniors were tested by means of the "Everyday problems" method (Sebby, Papini). The results show that early and middle adults in comparison with adolescents revealed a higher level of formal reasoning. In all age groups, the Informational Style of identity prevailed, followed by the Normative and Diffused styles, but with age the level of Commitment and the intensity of the Informational and Normative Style of identity changed. Among adolescents, there was a negative correlation between TOF scores and Commitment and Normative Style, while a positive but low correlation was found between the level of formal thinking and the level of Commitment in the senior group. The analysis of the results of the additional study in which the links between the identity styles and the level of post-formal reasoning were tested indicates that there is a stronger correlation compared to the measurement of the relationship between the identity styles and the level of formal thinking in each age group.
