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.

There is an ongoing debate about the importance of university attendance, age, life transitions and other demographic factors on experiencing the emerging adulthood. The present study aims to explore the effect of demographics (age, college attendance, subjective economic status, financial independence, living conditions, relationship status or having a child) on the emerging adulthood. Slovak adults ( N = 800), between 18 to 29 years old, reported their demographics and completed the Inventory of dimensions of emerging adulthood. The results showed slight differences between those who attended university and those who did not - mainly in experimentation, however, both groups experienced the features of emerging adulthood. Age makes a greater difference, which might be connected to parenthood, relationship status and living conditions.

In Canada, during the pandemic, young adults (18–29 year-olds) represented one of the least-vaccinated age groups against COVID-19. These low vaccination rates, and high infection rates, left young people vulnerable to severe infections and created a risk for transmission to immunocompromised populations. Given young adults’ unique characteristics, to encourage vaccination among this demographic, public health and government officials must adopt an audience-centred approach to communication. We sought to understand if the vaccine messages from 8 Canadian federal government Instagram accounts met the needs of young adults based two frameworks: Guiding Principles for Crisis Communication (compassion and empathy, conversational tone, transparency, clarity, call to action and correction of misinformation), and the 5C Model for Vaccine Hesitancy (confidence, complacency, constraints, collective responsibility, and risk calculation). Across 159 posts that mentioned COVID-19 vaccines, there was limited incorporation of best practices, suggesting the government’s communication strategy did not meet the needs of young people.

Mental health worldwide is extremely important to address; unfortunately, many aspects of mental health are not visibly known or treated in the world. Moreover, some developmental groups are more affected than others; in fact, emerging adulthood is a crucial developmental phase that is prone to depression. With most mental health conditions beginning before the age of 24 and depression as the leading cause of disability globally, this study sought to identify emerging adults’ understanding of depression, a common disease among this population. A qualitative study was used to understand depression during emerging adulthood in Togo. There were 35 participants recruited for this study. With the growing younger population in Sub-Saharan Africa projected to double in a decade and the dearth of studies in the mental health field on the continent, this study serves as a foundation for research into emerging adults’ mental health. Like most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, the inexistence of a stand-alone mental health program, the shortage of qualified mental health professionals, and insufficient civil society education on mental health problems remain the fundamental barriers to accessible care in Togo. As the study indicated, there are many ways to provide new opportunities for emerging adults to self-educate about mental health. By increasing our understanding of depression among emerging adults, the findings of this research study offer valuable data as a foundation not only for future studies, but also for mental health policy development and targeted programming for emerging adults in Sub-Saharan Africa and Togo in particular.

The current study examined parental autonomy support in relation to the quality of youths’ interpersonal emotion regulation (IER) experiences with parents. 194 emerging adult college students ( M age = 19.6 years; 52.1% women) recounted a recent instance of receiving IER from a parent. Youth reported on their parent’s IER behaviors (emotional responsiveness and cognitive support), the perceived effectiveness of the IER, who initiated it, and how autonomy supportive their parent typically was. As expected, parental autonomy support moderated the relation between IER and its perceived effectiveness, such that at higher levels of support, parental emotional responsiveness and cognitive support related to higher perceived IER effectiveness. Likewise, in conditions of low autonomy support, youth perceived unsolicited IER to be less effective than did youth who sought the support. Autonomy support likely plays a meaningful role in the effectiveness of various IER processes, thus furthering our understanding of emerging adults’ socioemotional development.

This article presents the evolution and recent research tendencies of emerging adulthood. For this, a bibliometric analysis was conducted of documents published in the Web of Science ( N = 5,372). The notion of emerging adulthood arose in the 1990s, and the number of documents on this topic has systematically grown since the first decade of the 2000s. Growth in this area has also been accompanied by diversification. This diversity is reflected by the number of categories that the Web of Science tags in association with each author’s country of affiliation. Following are the three large thematic clusters within this area: emerging adulthood; adolescence; and young adult. The present study was limited to documents catalogued in the Web of Science, and consideration should be given to the idiomatic biases of this indexer. A further limitation of this study is that the search for “emerging adulthood” excluded related terminology, such as “emerging adult” “young adult” and “adolescent.”
本文介绍了新兴成人期的演变和最新研究趋势。为此，我们对科学网（Web of Science）上发表的文献（N = 5372）进行了文献计量分析。新兴成人期的概念产生于 20 世纪 90 年代，自 21 世纪第一个十年以来，有关这一主题的文献数量有了系统性的增长。这一领域的增长也伴随着多样化。这种多样性体现在科学网（Web of Science）根据每位作者所属国家标记的类别数量上。以下是该领域的三大主题集群：新兴成人期、青少年期和青年期。本研究仅限于《科学网》中编目的文献，因此应考虑到该索引器的习语偏差。本研究的另一个局限性是，对 "新兴成人 "的搜索排除了相关术语，如 "新兴成人"、"年轻成人 "和 "青少年"。

One of the most critical developmental tasks during the university years is to develop close romantic relationships. The quality of the relationship established is as important as the existence of these relationships. In this study, a model that examines the mediating role of openness in the association of autonomy need satisfaction and perceived romantic relationship quality among emerging adults was tested. The study group consisted of 510 university students. A personal information form, the Fulfillment Scale of the Needs in Romantic Relationships, the Relationship Maintenance Strategies Scale, and the Perceived Romantic Relationship Quality Scale were used to collect data. The initial analyses showed that there were positive and significant correlations between autonomy needs satisfaction, openness, and perceived relationship quality. In addition, the emerging adults whose autonomy needs were met were more open in their close relationships and, as a result, had a higher level of perceived romantic relationship quality.

As attending college became a normative life experience in the U.S., society developed a cultural narrative about what a “good” college experience looks like. But, for racially minoritized college students, this master narrative often excludes their experiences. Integrating narrative and ethnic-racial identity, the current study investigates how a sample of 11 Black and Latinx students ( M age = 19.73) narrate their lives in college and make meaning of their racial experiences. Participants were prompted to construct their college story as if it were a book with chapters and describe the connections between those chapters. We analyzed students’ college stories and found that they used either chronological or thematic coherence to structure their narratives; this distinction in structure was related to the content of their stories. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of using a racialized college story narrative to understand ethnic-racial identity for minoritized college students.

Ethnic-Racial Identity (ERI) development research has been critical in further understanding youths’ psychological adjustment. The Ethnic Identity Scale (EIS) has been used extensively in this field of research to measure ERI. However, it has not been assessed for full measurement invariance, which is essential to ensure its effectiveness in measuring ERI differences across different ethnic-racial and gender groups. Thus, the current study sought to establish full factorial measurement invariance of the EIS between emerging adult college students across ethnic-racial groups (i.e., Asian American, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, and non-Hispanic White/European American) and genders (i.e., male and female). Participants included 7165 students ( M age = 19.71 years, SD = 1.50) from 31 colleges and universities across various U.S. regions. Results established full factorial measurement invariance for the EIS across groups. Additionally, we examined construct validity by establishing that associations between ERI and psychological adjustment were consistent across groups. Implications and limitations are discussed.

Qualitative work suggests that young people’s motives for playing drinking games (DGs) extend beyond those assessed in the Motives for Playing Drinking Games (MPDG) measure. Using a mixed-methods approach, we tested whether the 7-factor model of the MPDG would emerge among university students from Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina, and whether their open-ended responses regarding their reasons for playing would map onto the MPDG subscales. Students ( N = 895; ages = 18–30 yrs) completed the MPDG-33 measure and an open-ended-question regarding their reasons for playing DGs. We found support for the 7-factor model of the MPDG among students across sites. Open-ended responses revealed that students were motivated to play for a variety of reasons, some of which overlapped with the MPDG subscales while others did not. We present a conceptual model that considers motives specific to alcohol consumption in the context of a DG and reasons/possible motives for playing a DG given its specific features.
