Research into factors associated with marriage (or partnering), divorce and parenthood, including gender and cultural differences and the effect of such events upon the individual.
Theories of Development in Early and Middle Adulthood, Including the Evidence for Crises and Transitions
This is a relatively easy section in terms of the actual content - there's not much in the way of difficult theory. That said, don't be tempted to blag on this one. You are still going to have to have some well revised detail under your belt!
The problem is, unlike say the evolution section, there's not much standard material that can be used in any essay. (Erikson, Levinson and Holmes & Rahe will always be pretty useful though)
The problem is normally that people like the earlier sections, but don't concentrate enough on the latter two. As with everything else - you have to cover
everything in the subsection.
