Emerging adulthood: A theory of development from the late teens through the twenties.

In the citing paper

“Identity formation is often viewed as a key developmental task for adolescence and emerging adulthood, and a prerequisite for healthy adult functioning (Arnett, 2000; Erikson, 1968; 1950; Marcia, 1966; Meeus, 2011).”

“potentially due to increases in commitment to partner, cohabitation, and sharing of finances (Arnett, 2000).”

In the citing paper

“this study examines EAs (18–25 years), which is a theoretically and empirically distinct developmental time period (Arnett, 2000)”

In the citing paper

“Past research has demonstrated that each life stage exhibits its own unique trajectories, goals, and influences19,45–47, and activities can therefore differ from being of no impact, to being adaptive or maladaptive depending on which developmental period one examines46,48.”

“This period is characterised by change and exploration as they make enduring choices in love, work, and worldviews, which merits further scholarly attention.”

In the citing paper

“Arnett (2000) argued that 'emerging adulthood' is a distinct period in the life course of young people aged 18 to 25.”

“These changes have resulted in a novel developmental stage, termed “emerging adulthood”, that starts in the late teens and expands through the 20s [1].”

“Unfortunately, less than 30% of the affected students receive minimally adequate treatment [1, 5, 12].”

“This is despite knowledge that sexual and romantic exploration are fundamental and valuable aspects of emerging adulthood (Arnett 2000) and are part of ' the college experience ' that many students seek (Wade 2017).”

In the citing paper

“LGBQ+ students have a good reason to envision college as a valuable space for identity development as it coincides with emerging adulthood, a period of intense identity exploration by young adults aged 18 -25 (Arnett 2000).”

In the citing paper

“While the process of emerging adulthood is not exclusive to those who attend college, in the last few decades, college has come to be seen as an incubator for this identity exploration in two ways (Arnett 2000).”

In the citing paper

“These feelings of bonding and support may in-turn promote important developmental needs for the college student such as the development of increased autonomy, competence, and confidence (Arnett, 2000;Hill et al., 2023).”

In the citing paper

“consistent with recent findings suggesting that frequent parent-initiated contact may be indicative of hyper-involvement (Wieland & Kucirka, 2020) and could impede the development of student autonomy and independence, important developmental tasks for emerging adults (Arnett, 2000).”

“Moreover, these age groups may be particularly vulnerable to the effects of media multitasking because important aspects of cognitive, academic and socioemotional skills continue to develop during this period (Arnett, 2000;Crone & Dahl, 2012;Steinberg, 2005).”

In the citing paper

“Arnett proposed emerging adulthood as a phase of life between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, with distinctive demographic, social, and subjective psychological features (6, 7).”

In the citing paper

“This life- history stage applies to individuals aged between 18 and 25 years, the period during which they become more economically independent by training and/or education.”
