Study Guide of development transitions and adulthood (Child Development (psci 111D))

  1. What are the key tasks and challenges during the transition from adolescence to adulthood? ● Identity formation: Young adults explore various roles, values, and beliefs to establish a sense of self. ● Independence: This includes developing autonomy, making important life decisions, and taking responsibility for one's actions. ● Education and career choices: Making choices regarding education and career paths that align with personal interests and goals. ● Establishing intimate relationships: Forming and maintaining romantic partnerships and developing skills for healthy relationships. ● Financial independence: Taking steps toward financial stability and managing personal finances.
  2. What physical, cognitive, and socioemotional changes occur in adulthood? ● Physical changes: Adulthood is marked by the completion of physical growth, with individuals reaching their peak physical abilities and experiencing gradual declines due to aging. ● Cognitive changes: Cognitive abilities, such as problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking, continue to develop and mature throughout adulthood. ● Socioemotional changes: Adults experience changes in social roles, increased responsibilities, and evolving relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. Emotional maturity and regulation also continue to develop.
  3. What are the major life events and transitions in adulthood? ● Marriage: The legal and social union between two individuals, often marking the formation of a new family unit. ● Parenthood: The experience of having and raising children, involving significant adjustments in lifestyle, responsibilities, and priorities. ● Career development: Progressing in a chosen profession, advancing in one's career, or making career changes to align with personal goals. ● Aging and retirement: Navigating the physical and psychological changes associated with growing older, including retirement and adjustments to new life stages.
  4. What is emerging adulthood, and what are the different pathways individuals may take?

● Emerging adulthood: A period between adolescence and adulthood, characterized by exploration, identity formation, and transition to full independence. ● Pathways: Individuals may follow various trajectories, such as pursuing higher education, entering the workforce early, taking gap years, or experiencing delays in achieving adulthood milestones due to socioeconomic factors or personal circumstances.
