Do adults need role models?

It is thought that children need positive role models as part of their development and a source of inspiration and influence. But I was wondering if this is of any benefit to adults for whom intelligence and independence defines their age.

What do psychologist think? Should adults have role-models, or do they take up that role?

    it depends on the adult ---wisdom does not come with age, sometimes age arrives without wisdom,

    perhaps, mentors is a better choice of words...... mentors fulfill the role of role model plus provide guidance etc
