“…This is known as identity -a term that is, at times, used interchangeably with self-concept (Schachter & Rich, 2011). Questions of identity are heightened during adolescence (Hill et al, 2013), likely due to the demands of physical maturation, and the need to make real-world decisions about where an individual is headed in life.…”

As social media use is rising among adolescents, the issue of whether this use leads to positive or negative outcomes warrants greater understanding. This article critically reviews the literature related to this important topic. Specifically, we examine how social media use affects social connectedness in terms of three elements of adolescent development: sense of belonging, psychosocial wellbeing, and identity development and processes. Mixed findings are reported regarding the role that social media plays in fostering social connectedness, which suggests that young people may experience both positive and negative psychological outcomes. As a result, this article argues that online tools create a paradox for social connectedness. On one hand, they elevate the ease in which individuals may form and create online groups and communities, but on the other, they can create a source of alienation and ostracism. This article contributes to ongoing discourse in the area of educational and developmental psychology, and has implications for researchers and practitioners working with adolescents.

“…The development of identity that begins during adolescence reaches a peak during emerging adulthood. Identity development is a dynamic process of self-determination and self-understanding, which are crucial to the ability to "direct, give meaning to, and present the self" [5]. Its importance derives from its effect on the ways in which a person acts and responds in the personal and social contexts.…”

“…Individuals undergo the process of separation and individuation in a social context, in which they reflect on others and on what they are experiencing. Furthermore, the observation of how others reflect on them affects their internal cognition processes [5], [23]. The number of possibilities supposedly available to the individual increases significantly, as does the level of uncertainty, because things are not as stable and steady as in the past.…”

Abstract-At the stage of emerging adulthood, young adults on the autism spectrum need specific interventions to help them realize their potential. The "Avnei Derech" preparatory program was designed to respond to that need, by means of an individually tailored plan for each participant. In light of the innovative nature of the model, the team engages in continuous review and reformulation of their work, focusing on the goal of promoting the participants' developmental tasks. For this purpose, it is necessary first to understand the general characteristics of emerging adulthood and of autism, and especially, of autistic young adults with high-function autism. Former studies shed light on the characteristics of autism characteristics, but did not examine their impact on the developmental tasks of emerging adulthood. In this research, we focused on the task of exploration during emerging adulthood and the different aspects of delay in this process associated with autism. We conducted three case studies, which demonstrate the general structure of the "Avnei Derech" preparatory program. The main purpose of the study was to define and conceptualize the means of exploration required by people with autism in order to become acquainted with oneself and the environment, as part of identity formation and the development of self-advocacy skills.Index Terms-Autism, identity and self-advocacy, intervention program, young adulthood.

“…In PE research, identity has been almost wholly ignored; however, Schachter and Rich (2011) have argued that identity is a vitally important concept for education researchers and practitioners. Following them, we define identity as:…”

Accounting for Context beyond Domain: An Authentic Practice-based Framework for Advancing Personal Epistemology Research

This article presents a practice-based framework for personal epistemology (PE) research that advances recent efforts to broaden personal epistemology research. The framework accounts International Journal of Learning and Development ISSN 2164-4063 2017 http://ijld.macrothink.org 74 for empirical experiences and also contributes to on-going theoretical efforts to expand personal epistemology research. Building on the "practice turn" that other fields have taken and learned from, the purpose of this article is four-fold. First, it offers a conceptual framework that addresses theoretical and empirical limitations of personal epistemology as it is currently studied. Second, it advances PE research by highlighting the importance of heretofore ignored facets of PE, namely communities of practice, context, epistemic practices, and identity. Third, it advances PE research by adding to on-going conversations about the interrelatedness of dimensions of personal epistemologies. Fourth, it lays out a research agenda for personal epistemology research and concomitant methodological considerations, which have not yet received significant attention from PE researchers.
