Abstract

Objectives This study wanted to understand the effect of middle-aged women s mid-life crisis on psychological well-being and to find out the control effect of individuality-relatedness.
 Methods To verify this, an online survey was conducted and 493 copies of the responses were analyzed using a structured self-report questionnaire for middle-aged women aged 40 to 65 living across the country.
 Results To summarize the results of this study. First, the higher the level of crisis in middle-aged women, the lower the psychological well-being. And the level of individuality-relatedness, the higher the psychological well-being. Second, it was found that individuality-relatedness has a moderating effect in the influence of middle-aged women s sense of crisis on psychological well-being. Third, as a result of verifying the difference in the moderating effect of each group according to the level of individuality-relatedness, the relational partial development group showed the highest psychological well-being when the sense of crisis was low. It was found that the individuality-relatedness development group maintained a high level of psychological well-being regardless of the high and low sense of crisis in middle age.
 Conclusions This suggests the importance of even development of individuality-relatedness among middle-aged women. In addition, it suggests the need to explore the contents of the sense of crisis in middle-aged women during counseling and education, and to provide a differentiated counseling approach according to the level of development of individuality-relatedness.
