Emerging adulthood is a developmental stage proposed by psychologist Jeffrey Arnett, which typically occurs between the ages of 18 and 25. This stage is characterized by individuals transitioning from adolescence to adulthood, exploring their identity, making important life decisions, and gaining independence. Emerging adults often grapple with issues such as career choices, relationships, and financial independence. This research area focuses on understanding the challenges and opportunities faced by individuals during this unique stage of development.
