Kaup valmöguleikar
Á undanförnum áratugum hefur líf fólks á aldrinum frá því seint á unglingsárum og fram yfir tvítugt breyst svo mikið að nýtt æviskeið hefur orðið til. Í framsæknu verki sínu skilgreinir Jeffrey Jensen Arnett tímabil mótunaráranna sem sérstakt æviskeið, ólíkt bæði unglingsárunum á undan og fullorðinsárunum sem taka við. Hin nýja kenning Arnetts hefur vakið gríðarlega athygli fræðimanna um allan heim, ekki síst fyrir tilstilli bókarinnar Emerging Adulthood, sem lagði grunninn að þessu fræðasviði.
Í tilefni af því að 20 ár eru liðin frá útgáfu þessa tímamótaverks hefur þriðja útgáfa Emerging Adulthood verið uppfærð og aukin til muna. Þar eru niðurstöður Arnetts endurskoðaðar og nýjum kafla um menningarlegan og alþjóðlegan breytileika bætt við. Arnett fléttar saman frásögnum úr lífi fjölbreytts hóps fólks á mótunarárunum og áratuga rannsóknum. Hann fjallar um fjölmörg viðfangsefni, meðal annars ást og kynlíf, samskipti við foreldra, reynslu af háskólanámi og atvinnulífi og hugmyndir um hvað felst í því að vera fullorðinn.
In recent decades, the lives of people in their late teens and twenties have changed so dramatically that a new stage of life has developed. In his provocative work, Jeffrey Jensen Arnett has identified the period of emerging adulthood as distinct from both the adolescence that precedes it and the young adulthood that comes in its wake. Arnett's new paradigm has received enormous worldwide scholarly attention due to his book that launched the field, Emerging Adulthood.On the 20th anniversary of the publication of his groundbreaking work, this third edition of Emerging Adulthood fully updates and expands Arnett's findings, and adds a new chapter on cultural and international variations.
Merging stories from the lives of diverse emerging adults with decades of research, Arnett covers a wide range of topics, including love and sex, relationships with parents, experiences at college and work, and views of what it means to be an adult. As the nature of American youth and the meaning of adulthood further evolve, Emerging Adulthood will continue to be essential reading for understanding the face of modern America.
