Document Summary
14 emotional and social development in early adulthood. Emerging adulthood: the transition to adult roles has become so delayed and prolonged that it has spawned a new transitional period extending from the late teens to the mid- to late-twenties. U. s. emerging adults who are religious tend to be better adjusted. Higher self-esteem, less likely to abuse substances, and antisocial acts. Psychological conflict of early adulthood: reflected in the young person"s thoughts and feelings about making a permanent commitment to an intimate partner. Among college students, identity achievement was positively correlated with fidelity. In friendships / work ties, those who"ve achieved intimacy are tolerant and accepting of different backgrounds and values. People with sense of isolation hesitate to form close ties because they"re afraid to lose their own identity. Tend to compete rather than cooperate and easily threatened when others get too close. Generativity: caring for the next generation and helping to improve society.
