Ethnic and Racial Identity During Adolescence and Into Young Adulthood: An Integrated Conceptualization
Although ethnic and racial identity (ERI) are central to the normative development of youth of color, there have been few efforts to bring scholars together to discuss the theoretical complexities of these constructs and provide a synthesis of existing work. The Ethnic and Racial Identity in the 21st Century Study Group was assembled for this purpose. This article provides an overview of the interface of ERI with developmental and contextual issues across development, with an emphasis on adolescence and young adulthood. It proposes a metaconstruct to capture experiences that reflect both individuals' ethnic background and their racialized experiences in a specific sociohistorical context. Finally, it presents milestones in the development of ERI across developmental periods.

Developmental influences on adult intelligence : the Seattle longitudinal study
This book lays out the reasons why we should study cognitive development in adulthood, and presents the history, latest data, and results from the Seattle Longitudinal Study (SLS), which now extends to over forty-five years. The SLS is organized around five questions: does intelligence change uniformly throughout adulthood, or are there different life-course-ability patterns? At what age and at what magnitude can decrement in ability be reliably detected? What are the patterns and magnitude of generational differences? What accounts for individual differences in age-related change in adulthood? Can the intellectual decline that increases with age be reversed by educational intervention? Based on work on the SLS, this book presents a conceptual model. The model represents this book's author's view on the factors that influence cognitive development throughout the human lifespan, and provides a rationale for the various influences that have been investigated — genetic factors, early and current family environment, life styles, the experience of chronic disease, and various personality attributes. The data in this volume include the 1998 longitudinal cycle of the SLS. In light of both new data and revised analyses, psychometric and neuropsychological assessments have been linked in long-term data to aid in the early identification of risk for dementia in later life. The book also presents new data and concludes on the impact of personality on cognition. It includes correlation matrices and web-access information for select data sets.

Understanding Eating Behavior during the Transition from Adolescence to Young Adulthood: A Literature Review and Perspective on Future Research Directions
Introduction: Eating behavior often becomes unhealthier during the transition from adolescence to young adulthood, but not much is known about the factors that drive this change. We assess the available evidence on this topic through a literature review and pay special attention to the research designs employed in the studies available as well as the modifiability of the factors investigated in previous research. Method: We systematically conducted a scoping review by searching literature published in or after 2000 in three databases that described one or more factors associated with eating behavior or changes in eating behavior during the transition from adolescence to adulthood in the general population. Our search identified eighteen articles meeting these inclusion criteria. The socio-ecological DONE (Determinants of Nutrition and Eating) framework, a recently developed dynamic framework of factors shaping dietary behavior, was used to structure and categorize the factors identified. Results: Most factors identified in the literature were individual-level factors (67%) such as food beliefs, time constraints, and taste preferences; on the other hand, interpersonal-level factors (e.g., social support), environmental-level factors (e.g., product characteristics) and policy-level factors (e.g., market regulations) have been reported on less extensively. Furthermore, most factors discussed in the literature have been classified in the DONE framework as not easily modifiable. Moreover, previous studies largely used static research designs and focused primarily on one specific population (US freshmen). Discussion: This systematic scoping review identified several gaps in the available literature that hinder insight into the drivers of eating behavior (change) during the transition from adolescence to young adulthood. There is an urgent need for research on broader populations, employing dynamic repeated-measures designs, and taking modifiability of factors into account.

Emerging adults\ in Deutschland: Differentielle Unterschiede in Bezug auf Identität, Beruf und Partnerschaft und deren Zusammenhänge mit internalisierenden Symptomen
\"Emerging adults\" in Germany: Differences in Identity, Work and Partnership and their Associations with Internalizing Symptoms Young adults are an increasingly common clientele in outpatient and inpatient psychotherapy facilities, many of them with internalizing disorders such as anxiety and depression. Objective: The present study examines associations between identity, workand relationshiprelated variables and internalizing symptoms in a sample of young adults with different professional and relationship status. Methods: In a cross-sectional study with 3,267 young adults (M = 23.61 years, SD = 2.94, 59 % female), sociodemographic characteristics, health-related variables, and workand relationship-related variables are analyzed. Genderand professional group-specific differences are examined using MANOVAs. Associations with internalizing symptoms are analyzed through multiple regression models. Results: The sample shows a high diversity in professional status, with occupation-specific differences in many of the variables examined. Compared to men, women report more somatic complaints, higher levels of internalizing symptoms, and greater work impairment. Overall, the professional domain is perceived as more burdensome than the relationship domain; however, self-efficacy regarding the problems of reconciling work and relationships is relatively high. Work-related stress, ruminative exploration in the domains of work and relationships, dependency in relationships, and work-family conflicts predict depressive symptoms (all p < 0.001). Discussion: Difficulties in realizing one's own identity, as well as work and relationships-related challenges, are associated with internalizing symptoms in young adults. In a clinical context, it is therefore useful to consider for this age group developmentally relevant, age-specific variables in the sense of developmental psychopathology.

The twentysomething treatment : a revolutionary remedy for an uncertain age
\"There is a young adult mental health crisis in America. So many twentysomethings are struggling-especially with anxiety, depression, and substance use-yet, as a culture, we are not sure what to think or do about it. Perhaps, it is said, young adults are snowflakes who melt when life turns up the heat. Or maybe, some argue, they're triggered for no reason at all. Yet, even as we trivialize twentysomething struggles, we are quick to pathologize them and to hand out diagnoses and medications. Medication is sometimes, but not always, the best medicine. For twenty-five years, Meg Jay has worked as a clinical psychologist who specializes in twentysomethings, and here she argues that most don't have disorders that must be treated: they have problems that can be solved. In these pages, she offers a revolutionary remedy that upends the medicalization of twentysomething life and advocates instead for skills over pills\"-- Provided by publisher.

Conceptions of Adulthood Among Chinese Emerging Adults
With the influence of globalization, Chinese young adults’ transition to adulthood today are cultivated by both traditional Chinese values (e.g., collectivism, Confucian philosophy), as well as Western values (e.g., individualism, independence). The present study aimed to characterize emerging adults’ perception of adulthood in China today in terms of (1) the criteria for adulthood Chinese emerging adults considered important; (2) the relationships between subjective importance of adulthood status and status as a student or non-student; (3) gender; and (4)
hukou
status (rural vs urban). Chinese emerging adults aged 17–30 (
N
= 7099; 69% college students; 54% female; 57% with rural
hukou
status) completed a cross-sectional survey between October and November 2021. We found that most Chinese emerging adults felt ambivalent about their adulthood status. The findings suggest that cultural and geographical differences exist between emerging Chinese and Western young adults in their perceptions of entering adulthood. Concerning the self-perceived adulthood status and the subjective importance of criteria, several differences were found among Chinese emerging adults based on gender (male vs female),
hukou
status (rural vs urban), and educational status (student vs non-student). With increasing age, being men or having rural
hukou
, Chinese emerging adults may be more likely to adhering to traditional markers of adulthood. Overall, this study not only sheds light on conceptions of adulthood among Chinese emerging adults, but also provides implication for understanding emerging adults’ lived experience and subjective perception of this life stage.
