Describe Daniel Levinson's age 30 transition.
What will be an ideal response?
During what Levinson calls the age 30 transition, adults assess their life structure and adjust course. If an individual has emphasized career over family, that course adjustment may involve finding a partner or having children. If an individual has been a caregiver, the course adjustment may involve becoming more individualistic and developing interests outside the home. Those who do not have satisfying accomplishments either at work or home may experience a particular challenge, or even a crisis, at this time. Men tend to settle down in the mid- to late 30s, while women at this stage are more likely to remain unsettled as they take on new career or family commitments.
