Answer:

Culmination phase

Step-by-step explanation:

David Levinson was known to be the one who developed his own theory of adult life structure. Simply called life cycles. It is a term use to describe an individual's life's journey as it does occurs in a sequential order with specific 'seasons' or transitions from one stage to the next. These transitions often or can possibly keep spanning for several years.

Levinson's Adult Development Theory: Seven Stages includes;

1. Early Adult Transition (17-22)

2. Entering the Adult World (22-28)

3. Age 30 Transition (28-33)

4. Settling Down (33-40)

5. Mid-Life Transition (40-45)

6. Entering Middle Adulthood (45-50)

7. Late Adulthood (60+)

culmination phase

In this phase, there is a sense of stability returns if adults have succeeded in creating a life structure that gives them room run or manage the demands of the new developmental challenges with more confidence and less distress. The Culminating life structure for early adulthood is between the ages 33 to 40. This phase is brings about a period of "settling down." An individual makes a good effort to realize youthful dreams. During this phase, men make deeper commitments to family, work, and other important aspects of their lives.
