Tyrone's wife is about to turn 40 years old. He is concerned that she may experience a 'midlife crisis' after this birthday and has encouraged their family and friends to avoid mentioning anything related to aging or death when talking to his wife. Is this approach likely to be effective in averting her 'midlife crisis?'
A. Yes, because only people who are continually reminded of their age and approaching mortality experience a 'midlife crisis.' B. Yes, because she will realize how supportive her social network is which will serve as a buffer and prevent her from experiencing a 'midlife crisis.' C. No, because most people do not experience a 'midlife crisis' and there is no evidence that talking about it affects the likelihood of occurrence. D. No, because she is too old and regardless of what anyone says she is guaranteed to experience a 'midlife crisis' before her 45th birthday.
