  2. Section 1: Early and Middle Adulthood Three Stages of Adult Male Development-Daniel Levinson • Early Adulthood– ages 17-39, involves entering the adult world, choosing a career, establishing oneself in society, and making and re-evaluating commitments. Divorces are common at age 30. • Middle Adulthood– ages 40-59, involves self-examination, reformulation of life goals, perhaps a midlife crisis, realization of one’s own mortality • Late Adulthood – 60 to 75+, involves transitions
