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.

The phrase “just talking” is ubiquitously used by emerging adults to describe amorous interactions. Despite the prevalence of this phrase in public discourse, little is known about what just talking means and whether it is simply popular slang for longstanding relationship patterns or marks a shift in romantic and sexual norms and behavior. We surveyed undergraduate students at a mid-sized university about just talking, then conducted focus groups to better contextualize the phenomenon. Participant responses were coded inductively and interpreted in the historical context of American courtship, contemporary social norms on campus, the developmental tasks of emerging adulthood, and shifting patterns of everyday interaction brought about by smartphone technology. We propose that just talking is a veiled courtship behavior that denies the intimacy it builds thereby meeting emerging adults’ needs for emotional intimacy in a social environment where speaking frankly about emotional connections and seeking stable romantic partnerships are stigmatized.

Developing a coherent sense of self and establishing a long-term relationship are two developmental tasks during emerging adulthood. Guided by psychosocial developmental theory, this study explores the associations between relational identity processes (commitment, in-depth exploration, reconsideration of commitments) and relationship outcomes (satisfaction and stability) using a large sample of Spanish emerging adults in a romantic relationship. Results revealed that commitment as part of relational identity is associated with higher relationship satisfaction and stability, while reconsideration of commitments is associated with lower relationship satisfaction and stability. Gender acted as a moderator between in-depth exploration and relationship outcomes, with males reporting more positive associations compared to females. This study expands identity theory by demonstrating how relational identity is crucial when understanding relationship outcomes in emerging adulthood.

Studies on the relationship between perceived parental support (PPS) and subjective well-being (SWB) were mostly conducted in individualistic countries or cohort of adolescents. This study aims to provide empirical evidence for the relationship between PPS and SWB in emerging adults in Indonesia, which is considered to have a predominantly collectivistic culture. Specifically, the present study identifies the types of PPS (attachment, social integration, opportunity for nurturance, reassurance or worth, reliable alliance, and guidance) that play a significant contribution to emerging adults’ SWB. A total of 315 emerging adults ( M age = 21.18, SD = 1.39, 72.06% female, 81.90% college students, and 18.10% college graduates) participated in this study. The structural equation model showed that PPS is significantly related to SWB. In addition, guidance is the only type of PPS that has a statistically significant association with SWB. Potential explanations in respect to Indonesian collectivistic culture are discussed.

Amidst a decline in exclusionary school discipline, the current study asks how a more holistic set of school discipline practices are associated with emerging adult well-being. We use original survey data from over 700 college-educated emerging adults to show that this sample can be categorized into three groups with unique school disciplinary histories—those who received minimal discipline, those who received primarily school-managed discipline, and those who received intensive discipline. These groups were distinguishable not just on the severity or exclusionary nature of discipline but also the involvement of parents, police, or support staff (e.g., counselors). After accounting for selection into these groups, we find that emerging adults with histories of both school-managed and intensive discipline reported lower well-being than their minimally-disciplined counterparts. Such findings demonstrate the reach of school discipline even to this relatively privileged sample and the need to think about discipline and its potential consequences more expansively.

The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on emerging adults’ life and development. The present study explores the socio-emotional development during the corona pandemic from the perspective of German students themselves. Episodic semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 students and analysed with thematic coding. The main developmental challenges included missed opportunities and experiencing uncertainty, while family support and an optimistic attitude facilitated socioemotional growth. Social developmental gains included increased social support from family and friends and the formation of a generational social identity. Regarding emotional development, self-reflection and self-confidence were enhanced. Findings can be integrated in the Positive Youth Development Theory, as the socio-emotional gains match the 5 C’s (competence, confidence, connection, caring, character). Results have relevant practical implications concerning how to foster positive youth development during uncertain times.

The COVID-19 pandemic provoked a spike in racial discrimination and hate crimes against Asians in the U.S. Although research substantiates the harmful impact of discrimination on health and mental health, limited research has examined how it influences civic engagement among Asian American young adults. Using cross-sectional data from the Midwestern U.S., this study investigated how the experience of anti-Asian racism was associated with civic engagement among Filipino Americans ( n = 260; M age = 22) and Korean Americans ( n = 340; M age = 21) during the pandemic. Results showed that Filipino American women reported more COVID-19 related racial discrimination than Filipino American men. Women, regardless of ethnicity, exhibited more civic engagement than men. Various forms of COVID-19 discrimination were associated with more civic engagement in both groups, except that assault was associated with less civic engagement among Korean Americans. The study results underscore the importance of providing tailored resources for targeted Asian American subgroups to promote continued civic engagement.

We examined the association between critical social media literacy (critical consumption and prosumption) and several indicators of flourishing mental health (i.e., resilience, coping ability, life satisfaction) as well as mental health issues (i.e., depressive symptoms, anxiety, loneliness), with a focus on the mediating role of social support. Using data from 338 emerging adults ( Mage = 23.28, SD = 2.38), we conducted a path analysis to examine the relationship between critical social media literacy, social support, flourishing, and mental health outcomes. Our results showed that greater critical social media literacy was associated with greater social support, which in turn was associated with greater levels of flourishing outcomes and lower levels of mental health issues. These findings suggest that critical social media literacy may serve as a key tool in developing effective social support systems and promoting a flourishing lifestyle among emerging adults. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
