Friendship and Romantic Relationship Qualities in Emerging Adulthood: Differential Associations with Identity Development and Achieved Adulthood Criteria (2009, background): “Similarly, individuals who perceive themselves to be adults are less self-focused, more family focused, and more certain of the characteristics they desire in a romantic partner compared to those who do not perceive themselves to be adults ( Nelson and Barry 2005 ).”
Black hawk down?: Establishing helicopter parenting as a distinct construct from other forms of parental control during emerging adulthood (2012, methodology): “Indeed, emerging adults report that in order to become an adult one needs to accept responsibility for the consequences of one’s own actions, begin to make decisions independent of parents, and become financially independent from parents (Arnett, 1998; Nelson & Barry, 2005).”
“I Believe It Is Wrong But I Still Do It”: A Comparison of Religious Young Men Who Do Versus Do Not Use Pornography (2010, background): “…that identity development is a defining feature of emerging adulthood (e.g., Arnett, 2001, 2004), with research showing that emerging adults rank the resolution of identity-related issues as a defining marker of reaching adulthood (e.g., Arnett, 1997; Nelson & Barry, 2005; Nelson et al., 2007).”

Perspectives of LGBTQ emerging adults on the depiction and impact of LGBTQ media representation (2017, background): “This population is distinct from both adolescents and established adults, and is characterized by increasing but incomplete independence in multiple domains (e.g. decision-making, social, and financial), as well as increased romantic and/or sexual intimacy (Nelson and Barry 2005).”
Sensation-Seeking, Risk-Taking, and Problematic Financial Behaviors of College Students (2010, background): “Emerging adults have been found to engage in more risk-taking behaviors ( Nelson and Barry 2005; Todesco 2005) which may also be related to poor financial decision making.”
The Impact of Maternal Relationship Quality on Emerging Adults’ Prosocial Tendencies: Indirect Effects via Regulation of Prosocial Values (2008, background): “…greater consideration for others’’ as a necessary criterion for adulthood (e.g., Arnett 2003; Mayseless and Scharf 2003), and it appears that the attainment of these other-oriented attributes are indeed indicative of having made the self-perceived transition to adulthood (Nelson and Barry 2005).”
