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 work, Jeffrey Jensen Arnett has
identified the period of emerging adulthood as distinct from both
the adolescence that precedes it and the young adulthood that comes
in its wake. Arnett's new paradigm has received a surge of
scholarly attention due to his book that launched the field,
Emerging Adulthood. On the 10th Anniversary of the publication of
his groundbreaking work, the second edition of Emerging Adulthood
fully updates and expands Arnett's findings and includes brand new
chapters on media use, social class issues, and the distinctive
problems of this life stage. In spite of the challenges they face,
Arnett explains that emerging adults are particularly skilled at
maintaining contradictory emotions-they are confident while being
wary, and optimistic in the face of large degrees of uncertainty.
Merging stories from the lives of emerging adults themselves 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 be an adult. He
also refutes many of the negative stereotypes about emerging adults
today, finding that they are not "lazy" but remarkably hard-working
in most cases, and not "selfish" but rather concerned with making a
contribution to improving the world. As the nature of American
youth and the meaning of adulthood further evolve, Emerging
Adulthood will continue to be essential reading for understanding
the face of modern America.
