Answer to Question 1

Ans: D, E

In the settling-down phase (age 3040), the adult invests energy into the areas of life that are most personally important. The areas of investment are primarily family, work, and community. The individual strives to gain respect, status, and a sense of authority. Breaking away from family occurs in the early adult transition. Making initial career choices and trying new lifestyles occurs in the entering-the-adult-world stage. Maximizing self-approval occurs in the pay-off years.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C

Havighurst's theory of development suggests that success in achieving developmental tasks leads to success with tasks in later stages of life.
