In recent decades, the lives of individuals in their late teens and twenties have undergone a profound transformation, marking the emergence of a new stage of life. In his groundbreaking work, Jeffrey Jensen Arnett has identified this period as distinct from adolescence and young adulthood, giving it its own identity as emerging adulthood. Arnett’s paradigm has garnered significant scholarly attention worldwide, thanks to his influential book, Emerging Adulthood, which launched the field. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of this groundbreaking publication, this third edition of Emerging Adulthood has been thoroughly updated and expanded, incorporating a new chapter on cultural and international variations. Through a blend of personal stories and extensive research spanning decades, Arnett explores a wide range of topics, including love and sex, relationships with parents, college experiences, and perspectives on adulthood. As the nature of American youth and the definition of adulthood continue to evolve, Emerging Adulthood remains an essential resource for understanding the evolving face of modern America.
