Abstract:
The construct of the midlife crisis is examined on definitional, developmental, psychoanalytic, and existential dimensions, and the literature reviewed. The DSM-III—R criteria for Adjustment Disorder appear to subsume the midlife crisis paradigm, and only a small percentage of people high in neuroticism are prone to developmental crises. It is argued that the crisis model is a contemporary social construct that has outlived its usefulness.

Abstract:
Midlife crisis occurs when people begin to lose confidence and have feelings of anxiety or disappointment about life in middle age. It is a transition that takes place as people grow older while struggling with the passing of their youth. This study examines the psychological and emotional impacts of midlife crises and the coping strategies employed by participants. The study was conducted among 348 participants from a city in southwestern Nigeria. Primary data was retrieved through questionnaire administration, while the study was explained using the retrospective denial theory. Stress topped the psychological and emotional impacts of midlife crisis among the participants (61.2%), followed by anxiety (59.9%), and low self-esteem was the least (3.4%). In order to cope with a midlife crisis, the majority of study participants (86.1%) used prayer as the most effective coping strategy, followed by forgetting the past and moving on (79.2%), and accepting their fate (47.5%) as the least effective. The study concludes that almost all the participants in the study have experienced midlife crisis. The feeling that life has not turned out to be topped as the cause of midlife crisis, with excessive thoughts about childhood being the least. With regards to the psychological and emotional impacts of midlife crisis on participants, stress was the highest, followed by anxiety, and low self-esteem was the least, while prayer topped the list of coping strategies employed by participants in the study. We recommend that people who experience midlife crises seek the help of therapists who can help them sort out feelings about past events, manage current stress, and plan their future.

Abstract:
The incidence of midlife crises and the negative consequences on the well-being of middle-aged women is on the increase while their ability to cope differs. This study examines the socio-demographic factors that influence women’s adjustment to the midlife crisis in selected local government areas of Oyo state, Nigeria. Also, it elucidates the support systems in dealing with psychosocial issues associated with a midlife crisis. The study was anchored on Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory and Levinson’s Stage-crisis view. The descriptive research design was adopted, and multistage and purposive sampling techniques were used to select the local governments and the participants for the study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire administered to 165 women. Hypotheses were tested using descriptive statistics and One-way ANOVA. The findings reveal that the onset of midlife crisis among women was significant among women aged 45 to 54 at 55.76%. Income status has a significant impact on women during the midlife crisis as participants with higher income (above #200,000) adjusted better. Participants who received support from the immediate family significantly adjusted better than those who received support from other support systems F (3,161) = 12.417, p < .01]. This study established that the age of onset of a midlife crisis, higher regular income, and adequate system of support from the immediate family were significant factors for women’s adjustment during a midlife crisis. This study recommends the creation of awareness of the reality of the midlife crisis and the implementation of policies and programs as well as the provision of adequate support systems for women.

Abstract:
The universality of the midlife crisis has cost so many middle-aged men, with so many men rebooting and restarting their lives in the scramble for a fresh personal purpose. The researcher’s inquisitiveness about the experiences of middle-aged men in an identified community in Masvingo, Zimbabwe ignited the study. However, little research has been carried out in this nation concerning the subject under study. The study aimed to understand the psychological and social experiences of middle-aged men and how midlife crises can facilitate marital instabilities and a drastic change in social life. A narrative biography was obtained from the seven men in-depth interviewed. The purposively selected participants were between the ages of 35 and 45. Confirmation of the different studies that have been carried out in the West, many middle-aged men experience a lot of psychological challenges, including depression, stress, insomnia, and others. The study discovered that the escalation of divorce rates is rooted in the challenges associated with the midlife crisis. Many middle-aged men are not aware of marriage counseling, with quite a number less or not knowledgeable about the existence of psychological services. The study exposed the need for educational campaigns and midlife crisis awareness to the populace. Keywords: Crisis; death; middle age; midlife crisis; scramble; well-being.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is studying the social brain in the context of neuroscience to unveil their intricate relationship between social environment and neuroscience responses by formulating an effective social neuroscience midlife crisis apparatus to help creating predictability of this phenomenal by preventing it from the earlier stage. The research design was taking a three fundamental levels. The foundational level to collect data from 32 middle aged homogeneous sampling of midlife crisis sufferers through qualitative content analysis design for social and neuroscience thematic by conducting an in depth interview. The verification level to guarantee the validity of the data collected through the selected tests for reaching the re-tested reliability data. The confirmatory level to administer the data through the quantitative survey methods by using self-portrayed midlife crisis experience and self-reported midlife crisis definition to investigate the causal relationship of social and neuroscience to reach an outcome, thereafter the outcome is compared with verified qualitative social neuroscience midlife crisis. Data were analysed by SPSS/Version 25 for principal components analysis. Results from N=32 focus group shows 3 social construct components with 10 neuro-response delineating to 45 unit of meaning of social neuroscience factors. The literature and focus study of total 79 combined factors under Tucker's congruence coefficient interpretation shows the desirable 44 social neuroscience factors in 3 components emerged as independent identity factors. Six midlife crisis expert of different field respondents’ validation by content validity index (CVI=0,906 value) has confirmed that the content is suitable to be used as the measurement for social-neuroscience midlife crisis. Pilot study N=34 analysis by content validity ratio (CVR=0.529 to 1) where 38 social neuroscience factors is retained and tested for internal consistency by communalities=0.5 results that all 38 items are relevant. Data comparison confirmatory by triangle test analysis in which Pearson correlation coefficient (r= > 0.75) shows a positive strong relationship between two sets of variables. The results conclude that there are 3 components, namely biological life faded moment, interior misery intensity and personal hibernating symptom with 38 social neuroscience factors in the predictability apparatus that influence midlife crisis and should be used as predicting and developing therapeutic intervention facility to conquer the midlife crisis. Contribution of Social neuroscience midlife crisis apparatus is an effective scaled system for early prediction and prevention to diminish midlife crisis rate of occurrence, ultimately the details unit of meaning crisis predictability factors scale to assure the accurate intervention devising instrument to social support services.

Abstract:
The subject of this research is the correlation between the positive experience of going through the midlife normative crisis and the mechanisms of development of the value-semantic sphere. The goal of this article lies in description of the results of empirical study dedicated to tracing the dependence of positive experience of going through midlife normative crisis on such mechanisms of the development of value-semantic sphere as self-cognition, self-fulfillment, self-determination, and self-transcendence. The article employs the method of comparison that allows concluding on the peculiarities of value-semantic sphere in the groups of respondents with or without experience of going through midlife crisis; method of measurement for determining the numerical values of the measured quantity &ndash; the level of manifestation of certain values, mechanisms, parameters, etc; cross-sectional method is used for obtaining empirical data. The validity of the acquired results is ensured by the standardized psychological tools for collecting information, as well as by reference to the methods of mathematical statistics. The conclusion is drawn that positive experience of going through the normative midlife crisis is associated with the higher level of manifestation of such mechanisms of the development of value-semantic sphere as self-cognition, self-fulfillment, self-determination, and self-transcendence. It is established that value-semantic benchmarks in the groups of respondents with positive experience of going through the age crisis depends on the spiritual satisfaction and achievements; while negative experience is rather associated with self-centered values. The novelty of this research lies in establishing correlation between the positive experience of going through the normative midlife crisis and the mechanisms of the development of value-semantic sphere. The obtained results can be used by practicing psychologists and acmeologists dealing with the professional growth and personal becoming, family crises, and developmental crises.

Abstract:
Objectives This study aimed to test the mediating effect of mindfulness and stress coping strategies (problemsolving- centered, social support seeking, avoidance-centered) on the relationship between midlife crisis and mental health in middle-aged adults (45 to 64 years old). Methods For this, a survey was conducted on 444 adult men and women from July 1 to August 31, 2022, and 427 people who responded faithfully were analyzed. The measurement tools used were midlife crisis, mindfulness, stress coping strategies, and brief mental health. To analyze the results, the correlation between major variables was analyzed, and through confirmatory factor analysis, we checked whether the measurement variables appropriately explained the latent variables and verified the suitability of the research model through path analysis. The mediation effect was verified through AMOS. Results The results of the research show that midlife crisis has a negative impact on mental health. Mindfulness was found to mediate significantly between midlife crisis and mental health. As for stress coping strategies, only avoidance-centered coping was found to mediate between midlife crisis and mental health significantly. Conclusions The bigger the midlife crisis, the lower the level of mindfulness, which worsens mental health. The higher the level of midlife crisis, the higher the level of avoidance-centered stress coping, which leads to poor mental health. Therefore, through a mindfulness-based program that strengthens avoidance-centered coping strategies, it is possible to effectively help improve the mental health of middle-aged adults who are experiencing a sense of crisis.

Abstract:
This paper discusses midlife crisis as a driving force behind the thought and action of the protagonist of Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day. The whole novel contains a diary written by the English butler Stevens who relates his history of servitude at Darlington Hall and concludes with some revelations about the true nature of his past. Since the butler’s account gives hints of his concern for the extent of his achievement in life, his reassessing act of delving into the past can be taken as an attempt to resolve his midlife crisis. Being the seventh stage of Erik Erikson’s developmental psychology, a midlife crisis is primarily characterized by the binary “generativity versus stagnation” and the subject’s struggle to decide on the meaning of life. Occurring between 40 and 65, midlife crisis is stimulated by the reconsideration of social demands such as career and marriage. Applying this psychoanalytic approach to Stevens’ experience of midlife crisis, the present research investigates the place of Lord Darlington and Miss Kenton, the former Stevens’ employer and the latter his only love object, as embodiments of the social demands of career and marriage that the butler reviews in his midlife stage. Ultimately, this research discusses the butler’s success in resolving his midlife crisis through considering the individuation process, namely self-awareness, self-actualization, and the caring power, which the protagonist goes through.

Abstract:
Objectives This study examined the moderating effect of self-acceptance in the relationship between covert narcissism and midlife crisis, and verified the three-way moderating effect to determine whether mentalization moderates this. Methods A total of 409 adults aged 40 to 59 participated in the study. For data analysis, correlation analysis was performed using SPSS29.0 and PROCESS Macro 4.2, and the moderating effect and three-way moderating effect were verified. Results First, covert narcissism and self-acceptance, and self-acceptance and midlife crisis showed a significant negative correlation in each relationship. Mentalization showed a significant negative correlation with covert narcissism and midlife crisis, and a significant positive correlation with self-acceptance. Second, in the impact of covert narcissism on midlife crisis, self-acceptance was found to have a moderating effect in the relationship between the two variables. Third, The moderating effect of self-acceptance varied depending on the level of mentalization, and the three-way interaction was significant, thereby verifying the moderated control model. Conclusions This suggests that in the process where covert narcissism leads to a midlife crisis, even if mentalization and self-acceptance are low, interventions that increase self-acceptance may be effective in reducing the midlife crisis.

Abstract:
The development of a midlife crisis in women is accompanied by forming mental states that affect the quality of life and determine the possibilities of transformation of midlife crisis into a new stage of self-development. Study sample were 168 women, aged 30 to 44 years. We used projective techniques, questionnaires, content analysis as study methods. The deviation indicator from autogenous norm of M. Lusher test in women with the crisis symptoms has a rather strong positive correlation with the «negative conditions» index (r=0,4; p&lt;0,001). We have identified the parameters of mental states (antipathy, anxiety, tension, asintonia, fatigue) thatmay contribute to the formation of negative mental states in general, hampering personal and social changes in the midlife crisis. The article defines the dominant motivations meaningful for development and transformation of midlife crisis in women. The results complement the scientific understanding of mental states and age characteristics from a gender perspective.

Abstract:
Authors writing on the subject of the male midlife crisis offer reference signs of increased personal disorganization which are attributed to a crisis. Three of the more commonly referenced problem areas are alcoholism, divorce, and suicide. Analysis of the known data indicates there is no quantitative basis for these contentions. The incidence of heavy drinking, divorce, and suicide go down at midlife rather than increase.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article tells the history of the midlife crisis, for the first time. Today, the idea of midlife crisis conjures up images of male indulgence and irresponsibility, but it was first successfully promoted as a feminist concept that applied to men and women equally and described the dissolution of gender roles at the onset of middle age. Although the term was coined by the psychologist Elliott Jaques in the 1950s, it only came into general use two decades later with journalist Gail Sheehy's bestselling Passages (1976), as a concept that relied on older understandings of middle age as a welcome ‘release’ from motherhood and domesticity. The feminist origins of the midlife crisis suggest, first, that journalistic publishing can be more significant for the history of an idea than specialists’ theories, even if those precede it. Secondly and more importantly, it sheds new light on Susan Sontag's classic analysis of the ‘double standard of aging’ by making visible how women used the notion of midlife change to undermine gender hierarchies.

Abstract:
Midlife crisis in men is seen as a process of intensive and subjectively difficult transition of the self dealing with a reinterpretation of time perspective, the confrontation with death as a future personal event, the re-evaluation of life values and goals, and planning the second half of life. Midlife crisis arises on the relationships between the changing sociopsychological situation and internal predispositions. This study was conducted in Poland, using a sample of 144 men (aged 35–45 years). Measures were the Midlife Crisis Questionnaire, the Time Orientation Scale, the Adjective Check List, the modified version of the Ways of Coping Checklist, and the Value Crisis Questionnaire. The findings indicated that the midlife crisis consists of three relatively independent dimensions, extracted by factor analysis, namely, (i) intensity of symptoms focused on changes in the self-concept, (ii) psychological maturity, and (iii) acceptance of time passing and death. Necessary and sufficient conditions of the crisis appeared to be (1) value crisis, understood as difficulties in hierarchization, integration, and realization of values, (2) emotion-focused coping versus problem-focused coping, (3) past versus future time orientation and lack of goals for the future, (4) sense of time pressure, (5) some conscientiousness, introversion, and openness to experience.

Abstract:
In 1965, the psychoanalyst and social scientist Elliott Jaques introduced a term, the ‘midlife crisis’, that continues to structure Western understandings and experiences of middle age. Following Jaques's work, the midlife crisis became a popular means of describing how—and why—men and women around the age of 40 became disillusioned with work, disenchanted with relationships and detached from family responsibilities. Post-war sociological and psychological studies of middle age regarded the midlife crisis as a manifestation of either biological or psychological change, as a moment in the life course when—perhaps for the first time—people felt themselves to be declining towards death. Although the midlife crisis has often been dismissed as a myth or satirized in novels and films, the concept has persisted not only in stereotypical depictions of rebellion and infidelity at midlife, but also in research that has sought to explain the particular social, physical and emotional challenges of middle age. In the spirit of the pioneering research of John Wilkins, John Bernal and Peter Medawar, each of whom in different ways emphasized the complex interrelations between science and society, I want to argue that the emergence of the midlife crisis—as concept and experience—during the middle decades of the twentieth century was not coincidental. Rather it was the product of historically specific demographic changes and political aspirations—at least in the Western world—to keep alive the American dream of economic progress and material prosperity.
