This is also indicative of the very real affect of social norms and values in life devbelopemtn and the way that they can conflict and obstruct the search for identity and actualization.
These findings from the interview also coincide with studies of life development in the elderly. As a study by Wynne and Groves (1995) states,
Life satisfaction is a critical dimension to well senior citizens because it is directly attributable to their quality of life. The senior years are concerned with the development and enhancement of one's physical, spiritual, and mental well being. It is in one's later years that an individual has the necessary time to focus on these content areas. (Wynne and Groves, 1995, p. 448)
This short interview was not extensive or in-depth enough to explore in detail the various aspects that were instrumental and influential in this particular individual's life development.
In this case there is a need explore further areas of the life span development of the individual. A particular area of investigation that could be fruitful is the exploration of the way that self-identity and self-actualization become an important part of life development and the ageing process and, concomitantly, the way that society and peer pressure hampers later life development and personal growth.

But this ability to
