including childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, and it breaks each phase into individual stages of development (Berger,2014). This perspective suggests that development is multidirectional, metacontextual, and all stages of development are important and play a crucial role in the individuals cognitive health (Berger,2014). The stages of development are categorized as infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, emerging adulthood, adulthood, and late adulthood. For the purpose of this paper
debate Tanner uses The Network on Transitions to Adulthood, a network of researchers that argues there is an extended adolescence stalling-off adulthood. Tanner discusses these two sides of the age debate, while remaining neutral on the issue, in order to increase our society’s awareness of the impact of these critical years on the rest of our life. As an applied developmental psychologist, Tanner explains this stage from adolescence to adulthood has been the theme of her work. She worked as an
great longing . A common area for exploration in emerging adulthood is romantic relationships. The average American youth experiences their first romantic relationship during adolescence, prior to entering emerging adulthood. Oftentimes, these relationships in early adolescence last for only a few months but increase in length as they enter into later adolescence and early adulthood. Although relationships last longer in emerging adulthood, emerging adults still move in and out of relationships (Smith
Understanding Substance Use in Emerging Adulthood: A Literature Review Emerging adulthood is defined as a development stage of life, starting approximately at age 18, or the end of high school, and spanning until 25, when adult roles are “officially” adopted (White et al., 2006). Emerging adulthood is a relatively new stage of development, which was developed by Jeffrey Arnett in 2000. Arnett explained that there are “gap years” where youths begin to identify new roles in life, which separate
the most part. These years in a persons life have often been referred to as emerging adulthood. Emerging adults have reached a step up from childhood but are not yet ready to fully take on adult responsibilities. This part of life is open to many new experiences which can be very good for the morality of this upcoming generation of adults. People find themselves changing majors in college or taking different classes to explore their interests and find out where they best belong in their future
The occurrence and interrelation of illegal behaviors and substance use among emerging adults is a complex problem. There has been numerous studies relating to adolescent delinquency and this article explores those patterns of delinquency even further. Specifically, the article examined the ways in which physical abuse experienced during childhood, and peer relationships during adolescence might influence emerging adults patterns of illegal behavior and substance use. The methodology used by the
independency and responsibility. When some of those students get to Liberty, having a curfew might inhibit students from forming the necessary maturity for a complete independent life. The Christian author of “Getting a Life: The Challenge of Emerging Adulthood,” Christian Smith states, “These years
In-between the transition from adolescence to adulthood, a period called emerging adulthood occurs between 18 to 25 years of age. During this period the emerging adult explores identity, opportunities and independence. This is a period of instability for the emerging adult in various fronts such as work, love and education (Santrock, 2014). Being a time period of changes and identity formation, a wide spectrum of problems affects adolescence and emerging adults. The biopsychosocial approach emphasizes
