A lecture by psychologist Tatyana Novikova on how perceptions of adulthood are formed and how actual age differs from psychological age. Participants will analyze the characteristics of different life stages, criteria for maturity, and ways to better understand their own state through the lens of psychology and self-discovery. The topic of growing up is becoming increasingly complex in the modern world: the familiar boundaries between childhood and adulthood are changing, and the concept of adulthood is no longer solely dependent on the number of years lived. In the meeting, psychologist Tatyana Novikova will discuss how a person perceives their age and what factors influence the feeling of inner maturity. During the lecture, participants will learn about different stages of personality development and become acquainted with Erikson's periodization - one of the well-known psychological concepts describing human life stages. The conversation will help clarify what characteristics are typical for different age stages and why psychological states may differ from chronological age.
