1. First theme (20s)
2. Second theme (early 30s)
3. Fourth theme (40s)
4. Fifth theme (50s)

During the fifth theme (50s), Gould finds a realization of mortality with a concern for one's state of health. During the first theme (20s), Gould finds individuals wanting to get away from their parents. During the second theme (30s), Gould finds young adults working to accept who they are and to accept their growing children as being unique and separate. During the fourth theme (40s), Gould finds resignation and the belief that possibilities are limited.
