Interview: Middle Adulthood
interview someone who is in middle adulthood (see the age range according to our textbook) using the three questions provided and two questions you create. Submit the transcription and reflection of the interview. The transcript must have redacted names, workplaces, etc. The reflection must include how you might work with a client in similar situations and the treatment focus. Turn in typed transcription and at least two pages for the reflection portion—no references required.
Plan for this interview to schedule and submit this assignment on time. It is recommended that you use Zoom for the transcription function to aid in the transcription process. There are other methods of digital transcription if you would rather interview in person.
Question Choices (choose three; write two; total five questions):
· Reflecting on your experiences, what are some of the most significant changes or transitions you have encountered thus far in your midlife journey, and how have they impacted your sense of identity and well-being?
· How do you perceive the balance between personal growth and societal expectations at this stage of your life? Have you encountered any particular challenges or opportunities while navigating these expectations?
· Can you describe any notable shifts in your priorities, values, or goals compared to earlier stages of your life? How have these changes influenced your decision-making process and overall outlook on life?
· How do you find yourself reevaluating or reassessing your relationships—with family members and peers—as you navigate midlife? How do you maintain or renegotiate these connections to foster a sense of support and belonging?
· Reflecting on your career trajectory and professional aspirations, how have your experiences and aspirations evolved? Are there any insights or lessons learned that you would like to share with others who may be navigating similar vocational challenges?
· Considering the broader societal context, what are your perspectives on aging and the stereotypes associated with midlife and beyond? How do you challenge or embrace these perceptions, and what strategies do you employ to maintain a sense of vitality and purpose as you age?
