The purpose of this research was to examine the relation between anxieties and psychological mid-life crises, which middle-aged Japanese male workers might experience and have to cope with. The hypothesis was that (1) there is a correlation between mid-life crisis and mental illness in Japanese male workers, (2) the mid-life crises they have to face would be caused by their environmental or economical issues. The questionnaire survey was administered to 207 employees, aged 33-59 years, by mail. Path analyses were used to examine the relationships. The major findings are as follows; (1) there is a relationship between mid-life crisis and mental illness, (2) in the age group 40-49, mental crisis is caused by labor and financial anxiety, passing through physical and mental capacities, (3) in the age group 50-59, mental crisis is caused by financial and familial anxiety passing through physical and mental capacities.
