Emerging adulthood is a period of development that encompasses young adults between the ages of 18 and 25, who are transitioning from adolescence to full adulthood. This stage is marked by exploration, identity formation, independence, and significant shifts in life roles and responsibilities. Research in this area focuses on understanding the unique challenges and opportunities faced by emerging adults as they navigate education, work, relationships, and personal growth. Key topics of interest include the impact of social media, changing family dynamics, mental health issues, and cultural influences on this age group. Researchers in this field seek to better understand the developmental processes and experiences of emerging adults in order to support their healthy transitions into adulthood.
