    Turning points in midlife

  • Original language description

    The present study investigates the turning points of life (TUP) in four cultural samples: Cameroon, the Czech Republic, China Hong Kong, and Germany. We worked with a sample of 647 turning points in life stories of elderly persons, 60–85 years old. Participants included 163 men and women from the Czech Republic, 161 from Cameroon, 157 from Hong Kong China, and 166 from Germany. Results: For all four cultural samples, we identified nine main thematic areas to which the turning points were related. Midlife was identified as the most frequent stage of life at which a turning point takes place. The results also suggest that men and women differed in the topic of TUP. A process of affective balancing emerged from the data in TUP narratives (from a negative experience to a positive frame of TUP) that seems to be a universal mechanism across cultures.n
