“…Developmental psychology has viewed transitions as being predominantly age-and stage-related and as following a broadly normative pattern (Crafter et al, 2019). The assumption is that transition to and engagement in corresponding (social) roles trigger psychological changes that are related to psychosocial maturation and thus lead to a modification of thinking, being, or feeling (Crafter et al, 2019;Piotrowski, Brzezińska, & Luyckx, 2018;Rankin & Kenyon, 2008).…”

“…Previous research suggests that the experience of role transitions can influence identity development and re-examination (e.g., in terms of thinking about religion, or feeling a connection to cultural groups) in diverse domains (Fadjukoff, Kokko, & Pulkkinen, 2007;Kroger & Green, 1996;Luyckx, Schwartz, Goossens, & Pollock, 2008;Piotrowski et al, 2018;Syed, Azmitia, & Phinney, 2007). Kroger and Green (1996), for instance, showed that events pertaining to role transitions correlated with identity development and stage changes in various identity domains, also in ideological domains such as politics.…”

Ethnic identity is defined in terms of the interaction between exploration of and commitment to a given cultural background. The present study investigated the effect of individual background, role transitions, and the social environment on the development of ethnic identity in a sample of German adults aged 21-73 years (N = 2,940). Additionally, identity transitions and the moderating effect of disequilibrating life events on identity over time were examined (N = 827). Overall, results are consistent with findings for other identity domains: Respondents could be assigned to one of four identity stages, ranging from unexamined to achieved identity. Particularly, the individual background and the extent of community involvement affected ethnic identity formation in adulthood. Longitudinal analyses revealed that only one-third of respondents had remained in the same identity stage; most individuals had transitioned forward or backward. Changes in ethnic identity were not moderated by disequilibrating life events. Statement of contributionIdentity development has been acknowledged as a central task of adolescence (Erikson, 1968;Marcia, 1994). Most research work on identity development has focussed on this phase of life. However, identity formation is not necessarily complete by the end of adolescence; rather, it can occur throughout the life span (Cramer, 2004;Fadjukoff & Kroger, 2016;Kroger, 2007). The few studies to date that have examined identity development across adulthood, focussed on the domains occupational career, intimate relationships, religious beliefs, ideology, or lifestyle. Even fewer have investigated identity development patterns longitudinally. In this regard, the present author was unable to identify any research to date on the domain of ethnic identity development, as measured by the components exploration and commitment (Erikson, 1994;Marcia, 1994;Phinney, 2003). Exploration has been described, for example, as gathering information about roles and values of one's cultural background, integrating new information, or re-evaluating existing commitment. Commitment refers to positive affirmation of roles and values of and a sense of belonging to one's culture or ethnic group (Phinney, 2003).

“…The sociocultural changes in the last decades have created conditions for the establishment of a new specific developmental stage -emerging adulthood (Arnett, 2001(Arnett, , 2004, occurring predominantly in young people continuing to study at the university (Côte, 2014). These sociocultural changes have delayed and complicated taking on adult social roles, such as a full-time job, partner, marriage, parenthood, and, on the other hand, have led to remaining financially and residentially dependent on parents for longer time, as full independence is not achieved in other life areas (Arnett, 2001;Piotrowski et al, 2018). This delay is not only characteristic for the United States and Western countries, but also for the rest of Europe, the Czech Republic (Macek et al, 2007) and Slovakia (Šprocha, 2018;Kohútová & Dědová, 2019) among others.…”

Personality seems to be a stable predictor of satisfaction with life and meaning in life. The effects of emerging adulthood are currently under-explored. The aim of the present study is to explore whether the characteristics of emerging adulthood explain additional variance in satisfaction with life and meaning in life that is not explained by the Big Five factors. The sample involved 244 Slovak university students (13.1% men), who completed the Satisfaction with Life Scale, Meaning in Life Questionnaire, Big Five Inventory-2 and the Questionnaire of Emerging Adulthood characteristics. The results of linear hierarchical regression analyses, controlling for age and gender, showed that emerging adulthood characteristics added 6.4% of the explained variance in satisfaction with life, 28.1% of the explained variance in presence of meaning and 17.1% of the explained variance in search for meaning. The current study shows that the emerging adulthood characteristics are important for satisfaction with life and meaning in life.

“…Jednotlivci postupne preberajú sociálne úlohy dospelého človeka. Hoci podľa viacerých autorov (Arnett, 2000;Roupa, 2016) mladí ľudia nepovažujú preberanie bežných dospelých pozícií (manžel, rodič) za významné pre definovanie seba ako dospelého, prevzatie dospelej úlohy napomáha vnímaniu seba samého ako viac dospelého (Piotrowski, Brzezińska, Luyckx, 2018). Identifikácia so sociálnou úlohou dospelého je kľúčová pri formovaní identity napriek tomu, že je mladými v období vynárajúcej sa dospelosti považovaná za irelevantnú.…”

The review study focuses on developmental period of emerging adulthood, defined by J. J. Arnett at the beginning of the 21 st century. It is a period of psychosocial moratorium between 18 and 29 years of age, characterised by specific changes in the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Identity building is becoming a main task of the period under review. It is looked at from the perspective of study, work and romantic relationships. Compared to previous generations, there has been an age shift in accepting adult social roles, and the time necessary for identity formation associated with the feelings of instability has increased. The higher demands of this period require a more in-depth exploration, understanding of its characteristics and providing help to young people on their way to adulthood.
