本文探讨了婴儿潮时期出生的女性群体成人发展过程的几个关键特征。通过关注这一群体中的女性，并将她们的经验与老年群体的经验进行比较以及对男性的研究，作者证明了需要考虑历史、性别和个人发展交叉点的衰老模型。研究了中年普遍特征的概念（中年危机、生育力、衰老）以及女性特有的概念（空巢、更年期）。也许最重要的是，某些通常不被认为对女性中年特别重要的特征（中年回顾、身份、自信力）被证明是核心。强调需要进一步研究男性和不同女性群体中的这些相同过程。（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2016 APA，保留所有权利）
This article examines several key features of the course of adult development in the cohort of women born during the baby boom. By focusing on the women in this group and comparing their experience with that of older cohorts and research on men, the authors demonstrate the need for models of aging that take account of the intersections of history, gender, and individual development. Concepts proposed as universal features of middle age (midlife crisis, generativity, aging), as well as those proposed as specific to women (empty nest, menopause) are examined. Perhaps most important, certain features not commonly viewed as particularly important in women's middle aging (midlife review, identity, confident power) are shown to be central. The need for further research examining these same processes among men and different groups of women is underscored.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
