Returning Home

Growing numbers of middle-aged Americans whose children have grown up and gone off, or those who assumed they would soon have an empty nest, are leaving the porch light on for offspring who are returning home to stay well into their 20s and 30s. . . It's like Parenthood II. Rising housing costs and beginning pay rates that have not gone up as fast as those of more experienced workers have been identified as two major causes of this trend. But recent research suggests an even more important explanation: Young Americans are in fact having difficulty growing up, many are spoiled by their parents' affluence and unwilling to go out on their own and settle for less.

The Ideal

Objective: To identify what is important to middle-aged Latino men and their personal goals and values as foundations for a future precision lifestyle medicine intervention that is rooted in Self-Determination Theory.Design: We used a phenomenological, thematic approach to analyze data from 20 semi-structured, individual interviews with Latino men aged 35-60 years.Setting: Community-based settings between November 2017 and May 2018 in South Florida.Participants: Latino or Hispanic men who were aged 35-60 years. The mean age of the men was 49.8 years.Results: Two key themes emerged: a) the characteristics that these men say define what it means to be a man; and b) the characteristics that these men say define what is important to them. “What defines a man” includes three primary subthemes: a) the attributes, characteristics and behaviors that participants understood to be ideals that a man should embody and the roles he should fulfill; b) lessons learned growing up about what it means to be a man; and c) how Latino men relate to the ideal of machismo. “What defines me” includes the subthemes: a) comparing themselves with the ideal of machismo; b) caring for family and others; and c) supporting and modeling positive behavior for their children.Conclusions: We found key candidate mechanisms that may be novel yet critical foundations on which to build a precision lifestyle medicine intervention for Latino men. We identified actionable psycho­social factors that map onto motivational constructs that can shape behaviors that are essential for weight control and be a useful foundation for improving the health of middle-aged Latino men.

Developmental Theories

The analysis of developmental theories of well-being in middle adulthood, concerning women is presented in the paper. The research is based on  Ryff`s (1996) conception relating <em>psychological well-being</em> to eudemonic lifestyle as most confirmed. Empirical results reveal how middle aged women`s attitudes toward parents impact on their psychological well-being through 4 basic adult attachment types. Special focus is made on correlations of emotional autonomy from parents, guilt and well-being. The guilt of responsibility is enhanced in middle age, being a mechanism motivating a woman to realize the eudemonic lifestyle (self-realization through care, first of all for aging parents and growing up children).

Economic Discrimination

The young and the old are inherently vulnerable to the workings of power in a society dominated by the middle-aged. This situation is an outcome of the gradual exclusion of the two ends of the life cycle from productive roles, despite their increasing biological capacities. Consequences of age-based exclusion include economic discrimination, age stereo-typing, and territorial segregation.
