Funzioni cognitive e benessere psicofisico in midlife: i risultati di uno studio conoscitivo preliminare

  • Eugenia Treglia

The aim of this research was to determine whether a transitional phase exists between the condition of ‘young adult’ and that of ‘mature adult’, during which the so-called midlife crisis might occur. This phase could have negative consequences for both the emotional-affective aspects of relational behaviour and intellectual efficiency in work-related tasks, including partial losses in cognitive performance in tasks that are central to professional roles. The objective is to support the development of specific lifelong learning programs that take these factors into account. The results do not show significant differences between subgroups in any personality factor or structure related to age. Regarding cognitive functioning, the findings suggest the possibility of increased intelligence even in adulthood, along with the stability of certain personality traits over time and an openness to continuing education and cultural activities.
