This essential textbook navigates the research that reveals the substantial variety in young peoples paths to adulthood.

It examines key topics including mental health in emerging adults and the likelihood of substance abuse  and how young adults might reach out into the community through volunteerism  religious involvement and political activism. Each section includes examples and studies conducted in a range of countries  exploring how the journey to adulthood can vary according to cultural context as well as individual circumstance. The book affirms that while there is great variety in how one transitions to adulthood  there is no correct path  and most people fare well  or even thrive  in adulthood. Featuring end-of-chapter summaries  quizzes and activities  Journeys Through Emerging Adulthood provides an accessible yet comprehensive overview of this significant life stage  connecting fundamental psychological theories with modern social phenomena.
