Journeys through Emerging Adulthood takes the reader on a tour of
contemporary transitions to adulthood, reporting on the latest
cross-national and cross-cultural research into young adulthood and
separating fact from fiction about this important life phase. Alan
Reifman shows how today's youth are taking more time to enter
traditional adult roles, and explores the benefits and
disadvantages of this gradual emergence into adulthood. This
essential textbook navigates the research that reveals the
substantial variety in young people's paths to adulthood. It covers
the spectrum of the young adult experience, examining the influence
that parents have on their grown children's progress and identity
as adults, and considering the impact of traditional milestones
such as higher education, establishing a career, forming romantic
relationships and becoming a parent. It examines key topics
including mental health in emerging adults and the likelihood of
substance abuse, and how young adults might reach out into the
community through volunteerism, religious involvement and political
activism. Each section includes examples and studies conducted in a
range of countries, exploring how the journey to adulthood can vary
according to cultural context as well as individual circumstance.
The book affirms that while there is great variety in how one
transitions to adulthood, there is no correct path, and most people
fare well - or even thrive - in adulthood. Featuring end-of-chapter
summaries, quizzes and activities, Journeys Through Emerging
Adulthood provides an accessible yet comprehensive overview of this
significant life stage, connecting fundamental psychological
theories with modern social phenomena. Reifman's text is essential
reading for both undergraduate and graduate students of psychology,
human development and sociology, as well as students and
researchers of any discipline interested in the path to adulthood.
