In a sample of 562 college student peer dyads ( M age = 20.47, SD = 1.26; 65.7% female; 68.8% White), this study investigates how college student engagement (both their own and their peer’s) in online alcohol-facilitative communication is associated with frequency of past year drinking. Data were drawn from a study conducted in 2016–2018 in the Southeastern United States. Actor-partner interdependence models suggest that college students who engaged in more alcohol-facilitative communication, and whose peer engaged in more alcohol-facilitative communication, drank more frequently and more heavily than those students who engaged in less alcohol-facilitative communication (even when controlling for their peer's offline drinking). Moreover, college student engagement in online alcohol-facilitative communication was a stronger predictor of their own drinking than their peer's engagement. The hypothesized interaction between self- and peer-reported alcohol-facilitative communication did not emerge overall, though exploratory analyses of specific subdimensions of alcohol-facilitative communication suggested a potential ceiling effect.

Extracurricular clubs stand out as transformative and accommodating hubs in the academic experience of university students, thereby offering opportunities for personal growth, community building, and effective academic engagement. This research investigates the profound influence of academic club participation on Moroccan university students, with a specific focus on experiences within clubs such as the Bookworms and Public Speaking Clubs at Ibn Zohr University. Employing a qualitative longitudinal approach, including qualitative case studies and longitudinal analysis, the research reveals three main themes: empowerment through inclusivity, increased academic engagement and excellence, and a sense of agency and achievement. Findings indicate that club participation fosters a sense of belonging, enhances academic motivation, and develops essential soft skills, leadership orientations and community engagement. The study calls for institutional support and integration of clubs into the curriculum to promote educational research and practice within Moroccan universities.

Emerging adulthood (EA) is a time of possibilities, self-exploration, and personal growth. However, EA college students experience a high prevalence of mental illness and low engagement in mental health treatment. It is vital to find sustainable ways to increase life satisfaction despite mental distress. This study examined the mediating effects of social support and self-compassion on mental distress and life satisfaction among 200 EA college students. The parallel mediation revealed that self-compassion and social support significantly reduced the negative impact of mental distress on life satisfaction. A follow-up regression identified the self-compassion subscales common humanity (β = .17, p<. 01), and reversed scored self-judgement (β = .13, p<. 05), along with social support from friends (β = .17, p<. 01), and family (β = .32, p<. 01), as predictors of life satisfaction. For EA students experiencing anxiety, depression, and loneliness, self-kindness and accepting that life struggles are a common human experience, coupled with support from family and friends, can improve mental health and life satisfaction.

The current study aimed to 1) identify patterns of ethnic-racial and coping socialization among Black emerging adults, and 2) investigate profile differences in demographics and family relationship quality (e.g., communication and closeness). Six-hundred and three Black emerging adults (Mage = 18.63, 78% Female) at a Minority Serving Institution completed an online survey. We used latent profile analysis (LPA) with three ethnic-racial socialization and two coping socialization indicators. Four profiles emerged: High Socialization, Awareness without Response, Colorblind Coping, and Low Socialization. African American emerging adults were more likely to be in the High Socialization group than other profiles. Those in the High Socialization profile (high ethnic-racial socialization and racial coping socialization) were likely to report parental closeness more than others. Differences in family communication are discussed. The findings reveal that coping support and race-related socialization messages matter throughout emerging adulthood.

International mobility experiences such as student exchange can promote identity development and cultural awareness. However, little research has assessed such processes using a master narrative framework. This study explored undergraduate student perspectives on how changing cultural contexts and the associated cultural master narratives influence identity development during university exchange experiences. Twenty interviews were conducted with Australian and U.S. exchange students aged 21-22 years. Thematic analysis identified a process model of master narrative awareness and associated responses incorporating three key elements: contexts of awareness, identity responses, and experiences of self-transformation. A fourth theme highlighted the influence of individual identities as interaction effects in these processes. The findings show that exposure to diverse master narratives during student exchange enhances students’ awareness of their own and other master narratives, which supports identity development. The study provides new insights into the ways intercultural experiences shape master narrative awareness and identity in emerging adults.

Emerging adulthood (ages 18–25 years) is a period of increased vulnerability for mental health challenges. A potential protective factor is self-compassion, which is thought to promote better mental health through healthier emotion regulation capacities. However, longitudinal research on the associations among self-compassion, emotion regulation, and mental health is lacking. To address these gaps, a multi-wave within-person approach was used in this study. Participants included emerging adults ( N = 1125, Mage = 17.96 years) studying at a Canadian university. Random-intercept cross-lagged modelling demonstrated that within-person increases in common humanity predicted fewer depressive symptoms. Conversely, within-person increases in emotion regulation difficulties predicted more depressive symptoms over time, and vice versa. A mediation path from self-kindness to depressive symptoms via common humanity was also evident. Findings underscore the need for a more comprehensive examination of the dynamic interplay among self-compassion, emotion regulation, and mental health concerns while considering the multifaceted nature of self-compassion.

Not often implemented with emerging adults (18 – 25 years), permanent supportive housing (PSH) is an intervention which aims to support transitions from chronic housing insecurity. Ontological security theory (OST) -- a sense of being whole and alive on a continuous spectrum – serves as a lens to understand this transition. Through longitudinal surveys using semi-structured interview questions, emerging adults living in PSH ( N = 28) in western Colorado described their relationship to the concept of ‘home’ through an OST lens. We found that time in one place as well as emerging adults being able to ponder ‘what’s next’ served as key elements to defining home as well as trust in other residents and staff, consistent policies, a positive sense of safety, and control also impacted residents’ experiences. These findings offer insight into how PSH service providers may support residents and promote OST during unique developmental phases of emerging adulthood.

The purpose of this study was to examine the link between parent-emerging adult relationship quality and emerging adult physical health outcomes. In addition, mediators and moderators of these links were explored. The sample consisted of 869 college students (ages 18–25 years) who completed online anonymous surveys. Results indicated that high levels of parent-emerging adult openness were significantly related to low levels of emerging adult health problems. In addition, parental involvement was negatively and significantly related to emerging adult body mass index and health problems. Mediation analyses conducted through structural equation modeling demonstrated that parent-emerging adult relationship quality was indirectly (but not directly) related to youth health outcomes via emerging adult internalizing symptoms (but not via emotion regulation). Moreover, there was no evidence for significant gender differences, therefore the overall pattern of findings were similar for women and men. Implications for interventions focusing on parent-emerging adult relationships and emotion regulation were discussed.

This qualitative study explored Black college students’ perceptions of developing their postsecondary motivation and aspirations via in-depth qualitative interviews ( N = 14). Use of the grounded theory method produced a three-stage developmental process for nurturing a college-going identity that aligned with the initial phases of the plant life growth cycle. The initial phase for participants occurred during their childhood, with parents planting seeds of college-going aspirations for their children. The second phase of cultivating the soil for postsecondary ambitions occurred during high school, where participants’ self-motivation was bolstered within their familial and educational environments. The third phase also occurred in high school with germinating seedlings that produced concrete college-going plans by delineating potential fields of study and completing college applications. Intervening conditions promoted optimal (i.e., resource access) or adverse (i.e., COVID-19 pandemic) growth environments. Implications include delineating pathways to postsecondary success for Black emerging adults.

Caring for a parent during emerging adulthood may be a disruptive and non-normative experience. Despite the growing prevalence of emerging adult (EA) caregivers, there remains limited research. We explored the experiences of EAs caring for parents living with advanced disease. Interviews were conducted with 12 EA daughters and analyzed using constructivist grounded theory. The core category was identified as negotiating accelerated adulthood, a dynamic interplay between feeling more of an adult than before and the paradoxical feeling of I’m not where I should be. Prior to the core category, participants’ caregiving role is assumed. Availability of support influenced participants’ process of negotiating accelerated adulthood. Findings highlight the uniqueness and developmental impact of this experience. Results suggest an interplay of different factors with how the role is assumed, appraised, and experienced by EA daughters. Greater awareness of these experiences may inform the development of tailored interventions and strategies for EA caregivers.
在新兴成人期照顾父母可能是一种破坏性和非规范性的经历。尽管新兴成人（EA）照顾者的人数越来越多，但相关研究仍然有限。我们探讨了新兴成人照顾身患晚期疾病的父母的经历。我们对 12 名 EA 女儿进行了访谈，并采用建构主义基础理论进行了分析。核心类别被确定为 "协商加速成年"，这是一种感觉自己比以前更像一个成年人与 "我还没有达到我应该达到的境界 "的矛盾感觉之间的动态互动。在核心类别之前，假设了参与者的照顾角色。支持的可获得性影响了参与者协商加速成年的过程。研究结果强调了这种经历的独特性和对发展的影响。研究结果表明，不同因素之间存在相互作用，影响着 EA 女童如何承担、评价和体验这一角色。提高对这些经历的认识可以为制定针对东亚照顾者的干预措施和策略提供信息。
