Review of risk and protective factors of substance use and problem use in emerging adulthood. (2012, background): “…(usually defined as the period from age 18 to age 26) an important developmental period characterized by peak prevalence of substance use problems and problems related to use, it also sets the stage for later adult development (Arnett, 2005; George, 1993; Hogan & Astone, 1986; Shanahan, 2000).”
Turning Point for a Turning Point (2016, background): “Côté (2014), for example, contends that Arnett’s optimistic portrayal of emerging adults does not generalize across socioeconomic gradients.”
Personal identity processes from adolescence through the late 20s : age trends, functionality, and depressive symptoms (2013, background): “Previous research indicated that this period in life is also characterized by a high degree of demographic instability and risk behaviours which can be considered symptomatic for extensive identity explorations of some individuals (Arnett, 2005).”
Social and Psychological Influences on Emerging Adult Drinking Behavior (2004, positive): “ This stage of life is defined as the period from the end of secondary school through the attainment of adult status (Arnett 2005), covering approximately ages 18 to 25, although it can extend longer.”
Identity Development, Personality, and Well‐Being in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood (2012, background): “Although many of the behaviors reported would be considered risky, a number of them might be considered functional in addressing the developmental tasks of emerging adulthood (e.g., widening one’s perspective on the world; Arnett, 2005, 2007).”
Emerging Adulthood as a Critical Stage in the Life Course (2018, background): “In addition, adult support and mentorship are important factors that help promote resilience (Miller GE 2015; Masten et al. 2005; Arnett 2005).”
Emerging Adulthood in Europe: A Response to Bynner (2006, background): “…structures of compulsory schooling and residence within the family, young adults and beyond have institutional structures of long-term employment, marriage, and parenthood, but emerging adulthood is a time that is exceptionally unstructured by institutions (Arnett 2005, 2006 forthcoming).”
Emerging Adulthood: Understanding the New Way of Coming of Age. (2006, background): “The diversity of emerging adults is in part a reflection of their freedom, that is, the lack of social control and the lack of strict norms for what they should be doing with their lives during these years (Arnett, 2005).”
The WHO World Mental Health Surveys International College Student Project: Prevalence and Distribution of Mental Disorders (2018, positive): “…use disorders, bipolar disorder, and thought disorders typically emerge in the early to-mid 20s, and the typical college lifestyle—irregular sleep, increased interpersonal stress, experimental substance use—may confer increased risk of disorder onset (Arnett, 2005; Sussman & Arnett, 2014).”
Gendered Dimensions of Smoking Among College Students (2006, background): “This may be explained in part because of the optimistic bias—that is, a belief that the negative consequences of drug use will not happen to them (Arnett, 2005; Weinstein, 1989).”
Identity in Emerging Adulthood (2013, background): “…an informational style is associated with self-direction, autonomy, and agency, whereas a normative style is associated with perceiving one’s decisions and behavior as being externally determined (Schwartz, Côte, & Arnett, 2005; Soenens, Berzonsky, Vansteenkiste, Beyers, & Goossens, 2005).”
Young Adulthood Is the Crucible of Personality Development (2016, background): “Specifically, the field of emerging adulthood focuses on development between the ages of 18 and 29 (Arnett, 2000, 2005, 2006; Côté, 2006).”
The Role of Perceived Parental Knowledge on Emerging Adults’ Risk Behaviors (2008, background): “…that complying with societal norms (e.g., refraining from binge drinking or drug use) is essential in the process of becoming an adult (Nelson et al., in press); yet, during emerging adulthood there is a heightened participation in risk behaviors (Arnett 2005, 2006; Schulenberg and Zarrett 2006).”
Emerging Adulthood: What Is It, and What Is It Good For? (2007, background): “Furthermore, emerging adulthood is the peak age period for many behaviors most societies try to discourage, such as binge drinking, illegal drug use, and risky sexual behavior (Arnett, 2000, 2005; Schulenberg & Zarrett, 2006).”
