Abstract

Although there is extensive research on the adulthood criteria endorsed by emerging adults, there is very limited evidence on the comparison between emerging adults and their parents regarding this issue. Moreover, in these comparison studies, only quantitative methodology was used. Therefore, the present study uses a mixed-method design to investigate similarities and differences in the prevalence of the endorsed adulthood criteria between emerging adults and their parents, between male and female emerging adults, and between fathers and mothers. Participants were 251 emerging adult students, aged 18.0 to 25.9 (M = 19.9; 50.2% females), and 341 parents of these emerging adults, aged 33.6 to 61.9 (M = 50.4; 58.4% mothers). They completed the Markers of Adulthood Scale and named the three criteria that they considered most important for a person to be considered an adult. An inductive-deductive coding scheme was used. The analyses exhibited a high consensus between emerging adults and their parents in the endorsement of adulthood criteria. Only criteria related to Independence and to the Self were reported more frequently by emerging adults than their parents. A strong agreement between genders in both age groups was also found. The contribution of this study is twofold. First, it supports the idea that in Greece adulthood is a construct that is largely shared by emerging adults and their parents. Second, it illustrates how a mixed-method design can complement quantitative studies and extend their findings.

希腊青少年及其父母认可的成年标准比较:混合方法研究
尽管对新兴成人认可的成年标准进行了广泛的研究,但有关新兴成人与其父母在这一问题上的比较的证据却非常有限。此外,在这些比较研究中,只使用了定量方法。因此,本研究采用混合方法设计,调查新兴成人与其父母之间、新兴成人男性与女性之间、新兴成人父亲与母亲之间认可的成年标准流行率的异同。参与者包括 251 名新成人学生,年龄在 18.0 至 25.9 之间(男 = 19.9;50.2% 为女性),以及这些新成人的 341 名父母,年龄在 33.6 至 61.9 之间(男 = 50.4;58.4% 为母亲)。他们填写了 "成人标志量表"(Markers of Adulthood Scale),并列出了他们认为成人最重要的三个标准。我们采用了归纳-演绎编码方案。分析表明,新成人和他们的父母在认可成人标准方面达成了高度共识。只有与 "独立 "和 "自我 "相关的标准,新兴成人的报告频率高于其父母。研究还发现,两个年龄组的性别之间也有很强的一致性。这项研究有两方面的贡献。首先,它支持了这样一种观点,即在希腊,成年是一个新兴成人和他们的父母在很大程度上共享的概念。其次,它说明了混合方法设计如何补充定量研究并扩展研究结果。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Genetic Psychology is devoted to research and theory in the field of developmental psychology. It encompasses a life-span approach, so in addition to manuscripts devoted to infancy, childhood, and adolescence, articles on adulthood and aging are also published. We accept submissions in the area of educational psychology as long as they are developmental in nature. Submissions in cross cultural psychology are accepted, but they must add to our understanding of human development in a comparative global context. Applied, descriptive, and qualitative articles are occasionally accepted, as are replications and refinements submitted as brief reports. The review process for all submissions to The Journal of Genetic Psychology consists of double blind review.
