Charateristics of Emerging Adulthood
This marked by Demographic Instability, Subjective Snese of In Between, Identity Exploration, Self Focus, and Optimism.
Jeffrey Arnett's Theory of Emerging Adulthood-efines ages 18 to 25 as a unique stage focused on identity exploration, frequent changes, personal growth, feeling "in-between" adolescence and adulthood, and optimism about the future.
Theories Associated with Emerging & Early Adulthood
Daniel Levinson's Life Structure Theory- suggests that adult life involves building and adjusting "life structures" like work and relationships. In early adulthood, the focus is on making key life decisions to create a stable foundation.
Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Theory-Erikson's "intimacy vs. isolation" stage in early adulthood focuses on forming close relationships, with success leading to strong bonds and failure resulting in loneliness.
Lev Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory- thisprimarily focused on children's cognitive development, also apply to emerging adulthood as individuals learn and grow through relationships and experiences.
Conclusions
Emerging and early adulthood is a crucial phase of exploration, growth, and change, typically spanning from late teens to mid-20s. During this time, individuals focus on identity formation, establish intimate relationships, and make important life decisions. Characterized by a sense of optimism despite instability, this period lays the foundation for future paths in adulthood. Understanding the unique challenges and opportunities of this stage can help support young adults as they transition into independent and engaged members of society.
Fun Fact: many young adults are part of the "boomerang generation," moving back in with their parents after college due to high housing costs or job instability.
