Purpose While Emerging Adults (EAs) report the highest rates of psychopathology, age-related barriers to access and use of mental health resources (MHR) leave many EAs to struggle. Contextualized within the COVID-19 pandemic, the present study explores factors related to EAs’ perceptions of access, use, and sufficiency of MHR. Method Four hundred twenty-three EAs enrolled in post-secondary education at the onset of the pandemic were recruited for an online survey. An age-related COVID questionnaire and multiple empirically validated measures were used to assess mental health status and MHR use throughout the pandemic. Results Those who reported Reduced or Eliminated Access to MHR during the pandemic were likely to have experienced at least one Change in Residence. Reduced or Eliminated Access to MHR and higher levels of depression accounted for the greatest variance in MHR Sufficiency. Conclusion This study underscores the importance of efforts to expand access to MHR amongst EAs.

In this paper, we expand on the concept of life crafting and discuss how a life crafting intervention may be useful for emerging adults to help them live a more meaningful and authentic life. Combining self-determination, meaning-making, and life crafting theories, we propose an intervention that involves five components: values exploration, intrinsic interests, contribution to others, a coherent life narrative, and self-concordant goal-setting. First, we discuss the two conceptualisations of life crafting in the literature to date. Second, we explore the eudaimonic philosophy of self-determination theory and how this serves to guide the intervention. Finally, we propose our life crafting intervention and discuss how the components may be delivered to emerging adults to foster more meaning, authenticity, and psychological need satisfaction. Similarities and differences with other programs of research are discussed, as well as the unique contribution of this life crafting intervention.

This study sought to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Emotion Efficacy Scale – 2 (EES2) among 763 emerging adults. To examine the factor structure of the Turkish version of the EES2, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted. EFA revealed a one-factor solution. After implementing some modifications, CFA of the one-factor structure demonstrated adequate model fit indices and good internal consistencies. Two items were removed from the scale due to a low factor loading and a low item total correlation coefficient. Correlational analyses supported the criterion validity of the Turkish EES2 with relations to emotion regulation difficulties, acceptance and action, and valued action in expected directions. Furthermore, test-retest reliability indicated good reliability of the scale. Overall, the results revealed that the 8-item Turkish EES2 is a promising measurement tool that can be used by researchers and mental health practitioners.

While latest research has accepted the importance of mindfulness in mental health, its role in interpersonal well-being receives less attention, including the necessary measurement tools. This study aimed to translate the Relationship Mindfulness Measure (RMM) into Turkish and explore its psychometric properties with unmarried Turkish emerging adults. A total of 191 university students (age range 18–29, M = 22.90, SD = 2.78) in committed romantic relationships participated in this study. The convergent validity analysis revealed a positive relation of RMM with trait mindfulness ( r = .47, p < .001) and a negative relation with negative affect ( r = −.21, p = .05). Internal and test-retest reliability of RMM was acceptable ( α = .78, r = .67). The unidimensional factor structure of 5-item RMM was supported, and no common method variance was observed. Overall, findings indicated that Turkish RMM is a valid and reliable measure to assess emerging adults’ relationship mindfulness.

In the current qualitative study we explored care leavers’ perceptions of the influence of their out-of-home placement experiences in shaping their lives during the transition to adulthood. Forty-seven care leavers aged 18 to 29, who had been in residential care facilities or foster care, participated in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis revealed two major themes – (1) participants’ perception of care as an environment that fostered self-improvement and the development of skills including interpersonal skills, and (2) care as a place of belonging and regaining of trust and self-worth – and five sub-themes. In the discussion we address the role of out-of-home placements in relation to life course theory and the developmental tasks of emerging adulthood. Implications for practice include the importance of engaging youth who are in care with future-oriented activities that enhance their readiness for young adulthood.

Emerging adulthood is a period of human development ripe for personal identity exploration and a college campus can be a conducive environment for this to take place. Historically, many transition-age adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have been denied access to college, but with the rise in inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) programs across the country, that is changing. This study uses a combination of semi-structured interviews and photo elicitation discussions with 11 emerging adults enrolled in a southeastern IPSE program to better understand how these individuals understand and express their personal identity as well as the contextual factors contributing to their experiences with personal identity. Using thematic analysis, we uncovered seven salient themes across the data, including a theme related to the complicated nature of the participants’ disability identity.
成年期是人类发展的一个阶段，是探索个人身份的成熟期，而大学校园则是实现这一目标的有利环境。从历史上看，许多处于过渡年龄段的智力和发育障碍（IDD）成年人一直被剥夺了上大学的机会，但随着全纳中学后教育（IPSE）项目在全国范围内的兴起，这种情况正在发生改变。本研究采用半结构式访谈和照片激发讨论相结合的方法，采访了 11 名就读于东南部 IPSE 项目的新兴成年人，以更好地了解这些人如何理解和表达他们的个人身份，以及促成他们个人身份体验的背景因素。通过主题分析，我们在数据中发现了七个突出主题，其中一个主题与参与者残疾身份的复杂性有关。

People-place dynamics matter for well-being and for 69% of emerging adults in the US, the university is a pivotal place at a pivotal time. Research suggests that low childhood neighborhood affordances contribute to internalizing symptoms, but we know less about the impact of the university context. This study asked: how does university place attachment impact internalizing symptoms beyond the effects of childhood neighborhood affordances? Two-hundred and seventy-five university students self-reported on perceived childhood neighborhood affordances, university attachment, and current internalizing symptoms. Higher university attachment coincided with higher perceived neighborhood affordances and lower depression and social anxiety symptoms while controlling for demographic factors and parent-child relationship quality. Further, there was an indirect effect of neighborhood affordances via university attachment on social anxiety, but not depressive symptoms. Findings suggest that university place attachment contributes meaningfully to internalizing symptoms in emerging adulthood and that childhood neighborhood affordances may impact attachment to novel life-spaces.

Though young adult coresidence (in which individuals aged 18–35 reside within the family home) is stigmatized in mass media, research has not explored how such depictions relate to understandings of development. We used qualitative content analysis to explore how contemporary Canadian and American films depicted coresiding young adults and their similarly aged, residentially independent siblings with respect to various markers of adulthood. We found that coresiding characters were largely portrayed as developmentally immature both socially (e.g., full-time work) and characterologically (e.g., relational competence). In contrast, residentially independent siblings were overwhelmingly cast as developmentally on time. We argue that these depictions and contrasts reinforce a stigmatized coresider trope, framing the traits and actions of coresiders in terms of atypical development and attributing this living arrangement to individual faults. Implications for social attitudes and the wellbeing of emerging adults are discussed.

Exposure to stressors is known to lead to psychological impairment over time. However, the proximal relation between stressors and distress remains unclear, particularly among emerging adults with existing mental health concerns. Using daily diary methods, we explored the associations between five subtypes of daily stressors and negative affect among 160 post-secondary students with recent nonsuicidal self-injury engagement. We also examined whether this relation was moderated by coping strategies. We found a robust relation between daily stressors and negative affect, such that in most same-day and next-day models, relative increases in daily stressors led to increased negative affect. In contrast, we found that heightened negative affect only predicted daily stressor occurrence in same-day models. Problem-focused and socially-supported coping moderated the effect between social mistreatment and distress. Findings emphasize the need to adopt stress mitigation strategies in post-secondary contexts, as stressors may contribute to ongoing distress among students with mental health concerns.

In recent years a fear of missing out (FOMO) on short-term monetary gains through speculative trading has been highlighted as a driving force of financial behaviors. Additionally, increasing evidence has likened speculative trading to gambling. The current study sought to determine whether financial FOMO is linked to stock market and cryptocurrency trading activities and problem gambling severity in both traditional gambling and financial trading domains, among a sample of 258 college students. Results of binomial regression and hurdle model analyses found that financial FOMO was linked to participation in stock market and cryptocurrency trading. Financial FOMO was also associated with problem gambling severity in traditional gambling and the presence of gambling problems in the stock market trading domain. Our results suggest that financial FOMO may be a salient risk factor of problem gambling in traditional gambling domains and, to a smaller degree, in the speculative trading domain among young adults.
