Thriving in Adulthood: Insights from the Study of Adult Psychology

Claura Jasmine

As individuals grow and mature, they undergo significant changes in their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. Adult psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on the study of these changes and the unique challenges and experiences that adults face throughout their lives. One of the key areas of focus in adult psychology is the concept of development. While early childhood is often the primary focus of developmental psychology, adult psychologists recognize that development is a lifelong process that continues well into adulthood. This includes both physical changes, such as changes in vision or hearing, as well as cognitive changes, such as declines in processing speed or working memory capacity. Another important area of study in adult psychology is the nature of adult relationships. While social relationships are important throughout the lifespan, the nature and complexity of these relationships change as individual’s age. For example, adults may experience changes in their marital or romantic relationships as they age, or they may become increasingly focused on building social networks that support their personal and professional growth.
