Emerging Adulthood01:27

Emerging Adulthood

Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during this...

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the recognition that people have...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adulthood

Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development outlines a series of stages through which individuals progress across the lifespan. Each stage involves a psychosocial conflict that significantly influences personal growth and well-being. Three key stages — intimacy versus isolation, generativity versus stagnation, and integrity versus despair — highlight the developmental challenges faced in adulthood.

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition01:24

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are themselves.
Three Developmental Domains01:29

Three Developmental Domains

Human development is typically examined across three main domains: physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional. These domains represent the significant areas of change and continuity throughout the lifespan, from infancy to late adulthood.
Physical Development
Physical processes, also known as maturation, encompass the biological changes that occur across an individual's life. These changes begin with genetic inheritance and continue through various stages, including growth in height and weight,...

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Public Health
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Existing research on adolescent to adult transition is limited to healthcare settings.
  • Few studies holistically investigate this process, incorporating young adult and caregiver viewpoints.
  • This study addresses the gap by exploring the transition from multiple stakeholder perspectives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the transition from adolescence to adulthood from the perspectives of young adults, caregivers, social services providers, and healthcare providers.
  • To identify key challenges and potential solutions for a more sustainable and equitable transition process.
  • To inform future research and interventions for improving this developmental stage.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Transition Design, a novel qualitative methodology.
  • Employed visual mind-mapping exercises on the Miro platform for problem identification and future model creation.
  • Applied thematic analysis to coded data from 25 participants (7 young adults, 5 caregivers, 4 social services providers, 9 healthcare providers).

Main Results:

  • All participants identified mental health and resource access as key concerns.
  • Young adults prioritized societal and structural changes.
  • Caregivers focused on advocacy, social services providers on community resources, and healthcare providers on the health sector.

Conclusions:

  • The transition from adolescence to adulthood is complex, involving broad societal domains.
  • Diverse stakeholder perspectives are crucial for understanding and improving this process.
  • Findings can inform future research and interventions both within and outside the healthcare system.
