Emerging adulthood

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

Emerging Adulthood is a phase of a human’s lifetime between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood. The age range for this group is approximately 18-25 years old. Emerging adults are not fully ready to take on adult responsibilities, but are expected to step up from childhood. This allows for new experiences, enrolling into college, understanding one’s own sexual identity, and to seek out what future they want for themself. Most emerging adults will move out from their parents home to get their own

Adulthood is when an individual is past the stage of being considered to be a teenager or “young adult”. In America, adulthood starts at the age of 18, but in certain circumstances it has limited access. The fact that many adolescents have relied on another individual for about eighteen years, it will take more than two years for one to transit into their 20’s when it comes down to getting their life together. Many expectations are expected for people in their 20’s, but one person’s expectations

Dufilho, Dr. Joanne Psychology 230 Test 5 Test 5 There are many different cultural factors that have led to the emergence of emerging adulthood (the transition to adulthood has become so delayed and prolonged that it has spawned a new transitional period extending from late teens to the mid- to late-twenties). First, entry-level positions in many fields require more education than they did in the past, prompting young adults to seek higher education in record numbers and thus delaying financial

Emerging adulthood is beneficial to young adults and should be more supported by others because it would give young adults more time to have identity exploration, it helps give young adults more self-focus towards their career, and it helps to understand the responsibilities of the real world. Initially, emerging adulthood is helpful because young adults have more time to find their identity. In the article

However, these young adults that experience “emerging adulthood” tend to be part of a higher socioeconomic status and are “privileged enough” to put off the responsibilities of adulthood; on the other hand, people who have a lower socioeconomic status tend to grow up faster and have more responsibilities. Arnett’s “emerging adulthood” argument’s biggest weakness is that it demonstrates that “emerging adulthood” is not universal. Since this period is only acceptable for the “well

The impact of cohort effects were very evident in the stories that my interviewees shared with me, but I think that cultural and low socioeconomic status influenced the trajectory of their emerging adulthood. I chose to interview my mother and my grandfather, and I noticed that they had many similarities; both my mother and my grandfather grew up in very rural pueblos in Mexico and also in poverty. I think that because they were both born into poverty and shared the same culture they also shared

Identity and Emerging Adulthood The life pursuits and subjective judgments of many contemporary young people indicate that the transition to adult roles has become so delayed and prolonged that it has spawned a new transitional period extending from the late teens to the mid-to late-twenties, called emerging adulthood. During the college years, young people often refine their approach to forming their own identity. In these years, young people have left adolescence, but most have not yet assumed

In sociology, emerging adulthood is the period in time of an person’s life where they are between adolescence and adulthood. This term was proposed by Jeffrey Arnett, a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Clark University, in an article called American Psychologist. In the article he describes emerging adults as young individuals who do not have their own children, don’t own a home, or do not have a sufficient source of income to become completely independent (Arnett, 2000).
