Middle age is called the “Sandwich” generation because the adult is “sandwiched” between one’s children
starting their adult life and one’s parents who are aging. It can be a stressful time in anyone’s life. Go to
website, http://www.sensemassage.co.uk/en/resources/stress/online-stress-test (Links to an external site.), and
take the Holmes and Rahe Stress Test and calculate your score. Then take the test “as if” a middle-aged
person. Report the difference between your scores. Determine whether the major stressors, now and in middle
age, are age-related, history-related or non-normative in nature.
