rw -h iijf i As We Live Meture person Acts His Ag. , . One often hears it said, "He is a very mature person" or, "He . Very immntii j - IIIWI uu these labels mean? ' Most people consider , "ma ture" to mean that person is acting his age. If he is an adult, he acts like an adult, not like a nhllri nr (mii. , ut, Hurlock , ager. On the j other hand, the person who be- haves like one younger than i himself is labelled immature. Roughly speaking, this inter j pretation of maturity is correct, j A mature persons does act-his j ge. But back of this is the 1 fundamental problem of adjust I ment. He can act his age be ! cause he is well adjusted to what j our society expects of a person j of his age. . .. j Not all people are mature in ! every area of their behavior. In j fact, an all-round mature per ! son is a rare specimen. Most ! people are both mature and im- !' mature. In some of their be havior they act their age, while in other respects, equally im- portent, they act childishly. ; Why, you may ask, do they ! not grow up all over? Why don't ! they reach adult level in their emotional b e h a v i o r, f or ex '?' ample, as they do in their social ; behavior or in their physical ; growth? - The answer is that they have ; not learned to do so. This may i be because they never had an : opportunity to learn to be ma j ture in certain areas of their ! behavior. Or, as sometimes hap- pens, they may have tried to be j mature but. some obstacle they : could not overcome stood in ; their way. I Whatever, the cause, the fact . remains that they are not all j around mature people. This, in ; turn, means that they make ! poorer adjustments to adult life j than they could otherwise make. , Only when a person approaches j the ideal of well-rounded ma j turity can he hope to be really j successful and happy. This mat j ter will be discussed in columns I during the next few weeks. ! LETTERS FROM HEADERS Cynics: "Just what is 'cynic?' What makes, people cynical?" v (A) A cynic is one who shows disillusionment i about people nd their behavior. He finds that they very often do not act ac cording to what they profess to believe. Most people who are cynical become so during their idealistic teens. They expect people to act in one way, es pecially if they accept them on the basis of what they say they believe. Then they are disiUu- act in almost direct contradic sioned when these same people tion to their professed ideals. Some people get over their cyn icism as they grow older; some never do. Tssn-aga Jobst "When I was a girl, my friends never felt thsy should have Jobs while they were still in school. My daughter tells me that all the girls now want to get baby sitting or other jobs. Why?". (A) The teen-age girl of today Is faced with many more de- By (IIZABITH HURLOCK, PH.D. mands to keep up to the stan dards of dress and recreation set by her classmates than were the girls of your day. To meet these demands, she needs more money. Few families are in a position to give her what she thinks she. needs, so she tries to earn the extra money by working. t -Unreasonable H u s b ends: . 'So often you advise. Talk it over with your husband,' But what do yofe do if a hus band won't talk U over?" - . (A) I advise the wife to state her side of the matter and give her husband a chance .to state his. If he refuses to do so, that is that. However, I do not think' a wife should stop .there. If she is convinced that she is Justi fied in acting in accordance with the opinion she expressed, then the should do so. The hus band has a chance to protest! If he protests after she has acted, it is too late to do anything about it. Copyright, 1954, General Features Corp.)
