EMERGING ADULTHOOD (Arnett, 2000)<br />
<strong>Emerging</strong> <strong>adulthood</strong> is proposed as a new conception <strong>of</strong><br />
development, a distinct period demographically, neither adolescence<br />
nor young <strong>adulthood</strong>, subjectively, <strong>and</strong> in terms <strong>of</strong> identity<br />
explorations with a focus on age 18-25*.<br />
It exists only in that culture, such as post industrial, allowing young<br />
people a prolonged period <strong>of</strong> independent role exploration<br />
during the late teens <strong>and</strong> twenties.<br />
(Arnett, 2000)<br />
<strong>Emerging</strong> <strong>adulthood</strong> is the only period <strong>of</strong> life in which<br />
nothing is normative demographically (Rindfuss, 1991; Wallace, 1995).<br />
