About

Emerging adulthood is a theoretical concept in developmental psychology and sociology that designates the period from the late teens through the twenties as a distinct phase of the lifespan. It investigates the unique experiences and challenges of individuals in post-industrial societies marked by identity exploration, instability, self-focus, feeling in-between, and an extended transition to assuming traditional adult roles, highlighting a significant transformation in contemporary pathways to adulthood.
