Emerging adulthood. Emerging adulthood is a phase of the life span between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, proposed by Jeffrey Arnett in a 2000 article in the American Psychologist.[1] Emerging adulthood also encompasses late adolescence and early adulthood.
It primarily applies to young adults in developed countries who do not have children, do not live in their own home, or do not have sufficient income to become fully independent in their early to late 20s. Jeffrey Arnett says emerging adulthood is the period between 18 and 25 years of age where adolescents become more independent and explore various life possibilities.
Emerging adulthood is a new demographic, is contentiously changing, and some[2] believe that twenty-somethings have always struggled with "identity exploration, instability, self-focus, and feeling in-between".[3] Emerging Adulthood im kulturellen Kontext - E-Theses.
