Abstract: This investigation examined mid-life males' morale and concern about physical condition, psychological themes related to aging, career issues, family relationships, and interpersonal relationships. The main purpose of the study was to determine if there were age-related differences between men in morale and concern about these five life domains. Men between the ages of 34 and 51 were studied in age groupings suggested by previous research. It was hypothesized that there would be no differences in morale between men in age groupings 34-39, 40-45, and 46-51. It was also hypothesized that there would be no differences in concern about physical condition, psychological themes related to aging, career issues, family relationships, and interpersonal relationships between men in the selected age groups. The sample for the study was composed of 150 married men from a large corporation in Greensboro, North Carolina. Fifty men were selected from the three age groupings by a stratified random procedure. Data were collected by personal interviews administered by trained interviewers.
