“…For example, in the Netherlands, researchers proposed three versions of the questionnaire for local different ethnic groups ( Hill et al, 2015 ). But in Greece ( Leontopoulou et al, 2016 ; Galanaki and Sideridis, 2019 ), Spain ( Fierro and Moreno, 2007 ; Sánchez-Queija et al, 2020 ), and Russia ( Klement’eva, 2023 ; Yerofeyeva, 2023 ) researchers independently conducted the psychometric analysis of IDEA and got different versions. The results of measurement invariance were contradictory: different models were obtained in culturally similar Spain and Mexico ( Fierro and Moreno, 2007 ), but the same version was obtained in culturally different Italy and Japan ( Crocetti et al, 2015 ).…”

Emerging adulthood is the youth trajectory characterized by self-focus, identity exploration, feeling between adolescence and adulthood, instability, and experimentation. This trajectory was first identified in industrialized individualistic countries with gender equality and technological progress. To measure transition to adulthood, the Inventory of the Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood (IDEA) was created. Although emerging adulthood is considered universal, adaptations of the questionnaire across the 12 countries show different patterns, and its cross-cultural invariance has been underinvestigated. This study tests IDEA in three collectivistic countries – Armenia, China, and Russia. The sample consisted of 868 students (total male – 152, total female – 716) aged 18 to 29 years old. We tested the questionnaire separately in the three countries to check that this model fits, but we failed to prove it. After that we used a factor-analytic approach to find a common version for the three countries. We got a five-factor correlated model in accordance with the theory, but it was reduced from 31 items to 21, and three items moved to other factors. Finally, we provided measurement invariance and reached configural level. To test the narrower facets of factors we used multi-group alignment and found that variances in six parameters differ, mainly in Instability. Despite the difference in the questionnaire items, we proposed a common model for three countries that we called questionnaire IDEA-collectivistic countries (IDEA-CC).

<p>As people grow up, coping strategies shift towards more adaptive styles, but little is known about coping processes in relation to psychological attributes of the new transitional period of “emerging adulthood” (ages 18-25). Applying the cultural-historical theory developed by L.S. Vygotsky and the ideas of J. Arnett’s neo-Eriksonian cultural theory of development, we have investigated the parameters of emerging adulthood (identity exploration and self-focus; negativity and instability; personal freedom; experimentation and possibilities; feeling in-between; and other-focus) as peculiar features of social situation of development related to coping strategies among Russian students. The sample consisted of data obtained from 510 students, aged 18 to 25 (40,1% male), studying at universities in cities of Moscow and Tula, Russia. The study presents the measurements of emerging adulthood (IDEA-R) and coping strategies (WCQ) using methods adapted to the Russian research pool. The findings suggest that prolongation of the transitional period to adulthood is associated with an increase in avoidant and emotion-focused coping strategies. We have found that the degree of anxiety caused by transitional instability and self-focus of young adults could work as predictors of attempts to overcome difficulties. Among themare problem denial, inflated expectations, suppression of emotions and self-blaming.The degree of openness to experimenting with life, optimism about the future, identity exploration, and other-focus worked as predictors of problem-solving, positive rethinking of the challenging situation, and seeking social support. We noticed that age and gender factors reduce the degree of dependence of coping strategies on psychological attributes of emerging adulthood. The study materials contribute to the understanding of the processes the age-related psychological development of modern youth deals with.</p>

<p>The results of a study aimed at studying the ideas of growing up and the future in adolescents, boys and girls, are shown. The main purpose of the study was to identify the connection between life events that are significant for young people and their ideas about growing up, which is shown through the image of growing up in a feature film. The hypothesis was based on the assumption that the significance of life events in ideas about the future of boys/girls differs depending on the ideas of growing up based on the assessment of an artistic image. In total, the sample consisted of 1394 adolescents and young people aged 14 to 23 years (M=17; SD=2). Statistically significant differences were revealed in the ideas about the future of adolescents, boys and girls, with different types of ideas about growing up, revealed through an artistic image. Respondents who differ in the type of ideas about growing up show differences in the perspective of the future in relation to events related to "other people", "ideal objects" and the time period of the "open present". It was also found that there are differences in the significance of life events related to education, professional activity and communication among young people with different types of ideas about growing up based on an artistic image. These results may be useful for understanding the differences in the motivation of young people and for developing support and orientation programs in the process of growing up.</p>
