In many Western societies, it is common for adolescents to graduate high school, go to college, and still live at home with their parents. They have not yet assumed full adult responsibilities and independence. Psychologists have identified this period of time as a. adulthood. b. early adulthood. c. emerging adulthood. d. late adolescence. e. role confusion.

Arnett proposes a theory of emerging adulthood that suggests that a new life stage has emerged between adolescence and young adulthood over the past half-century in industrialized countries. He proposes that there are five distinguished features of emerging adulthood: identity exploration, instability, self-focus, feeling in-between adolescence and adulthood, and a sense of broad possibilities for the future. Other features of emerging adulthood, according to Arnett, include: emerging adults are still in the process of obtaining an education, are unmarried, and are childless. What do you think of Arnett's ideas?
