title: The Men's Adult Life Experiences Inventory: an instrument for assessing developmental concerns of middle age.
abstract: This article describes the development and testing of a new 97-item self-report instrument assessing the frequency and intensity of 11 developmentally related domains of concerns of middle-aged men. These include relationships (child, parents, wife, friends), job, health, sex, leisure, death, pressures of time, and self-reflection. The psychometric properties of the instrument, as well as potential uses, are discussed.
