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.

Adverse childhood Experiences (ACEs) are considered a major public health crisis. Protective and Compensatory Experiences (PACEs) may help to ameliorate the effects of ACEs on young adult well-being. This study examined the moderating role of childhood PACEs on the effects of ACEs on depression, anxiety, substance use, and emotion regulation (ER) difficulties in a sample of 550 (73% female, m age = 20 yrs.) undergraduate students. ACEs were associated with greater symptoms of anxiety and depression, substance use, and ER difficulties whereas PACEs were associated with fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety, substance use, and ER difficulties. Protective and compensatory experiences significantly moderated the relationship between ACEs and depression, such that greater PACEs weakened the relationship between ACES and depression. Protective and compensatory experiences did not significantly moderate relationships between ACEs and anxiety, substance use, or ER difficulties. These findings suggest PACEs promote adjustment in young adults and can buffer the deleterious effects of ACEs.

Ethnic-racial identity (ERI) has been reported as mediator and moderator of the relation between discrimination and psychological well-being. However, it remains unclear how different forms of discrimination (i.e., overt and subtle) predict well-being over time, and whether ERI exploration and commitment mediate or moderate this association. This preregistered study explored the associations of overt and subtle discrimination with well-being (i.e., depression, substance use, life satisfaction) in a sample of 323 ethnic-racial minoritized college students ( M age W1 = 18.03, 62.7% female) from longitudinal data collected in the US. Cross-lagged panel models across three waves indicated no associations of overt discrimination, but participants experiencing more subtle discrimination during their transition to college reported more depressive symptoms after four months. Ethnic-racial identity did not function as mediator or moderator. Findings indicate the need for a more nuanced understanding of the role of ERI during emerging adulthood.
据报道，民族-种族认同（ERI）是歧视与心理健康之间关系的中介和调节因素。然而，目前仍不清楚不同形式的歧视（即明显的和隐蔽的歧视）如何随着时间的推移预测幸福感，以及 ERI 探索和承诺是否调解或调节了这种关联。这项预先登记的研究从美国收集的纵向数据中选取了323名少数民族大学生（中位年龄W1 = 18.03，62.7%为女性）作为样本，探讨了公开和隐蔽歧视与幸福感（即抑郁、药物使用、生活满意度）之间的关联。跨越三个波次的交叉滞后面板模型显示，明显的歧视与此无关，但在升入大学期间遭受更微妙歧视的参与者在四个月后报告了更多的抑郁症状。民族-种族身份没有起到中介或调节作用。研究结果表明，有必要更细致地了解 ERI 在新兴成年期的作用。

Cumulative transitions in diverse life domains during emerging adulthood appear to promote both problems and fulfillment. This study aimed to shed light on the coexistence of these contradictory observations by examining the associations between cumulative transitions in four life domains (education, work, romantic, and residential) and adjustment problems (depressive symptoms and problematic alcohol use) and well-being. Participants ( n = 255; 62 % women) were assessed annually between ages 18 to 25. Results of regression analyses partially confirmed both perspectives: cumulative transitions in the four life domains combined were curvilinearly associated with depressive symptoms (i.e., too few and too many transitions were associated with higher symptoms) and linearly and positively associated with well-being. Domain-specific effects were also observed. These results paint a more nuanced picture of how transitions are associated with adjustment in emerging adults, revealing how under- and over-exploration of the life domains predict individual adjustment.
