Overview

In recent decades, the lives of people in their late teens and twenties have changed so dramatically that a new stage of life has developed. In his provocative and influential work, Jeffrey Jensen Arnett proposed the period of emerging adulthood as distinct from both the adolescence that precedes it and the more established adulthood that comes in its wake. On the 20th anniversary of the publication of his groundbreaking book, this third edition of Emerging Adulthood fully updates and expands Arnett's findings and adds a new chapter on cultural and international variations. Merging stories from the lives of diverse emerging adults with decades of research, Arnett covers a wide range of topics, including love and sex, relationships with parents, experiences at college and work, and views of what it means to become an adult.
