Emerging adults with chronic medical conditions must navigate repeated decisions about disclosure as they begin to manage their condition more independently. In this mixed-methods study, college students with chronic medical conditions ( N = 25) provided a narrative of a disclosure decision-making experience and completed measures of life satisfaction, subjective well-being, and illness acceptance. Qualitative analysis investigated contexts for disclosure decisions and overall attitudes toward disclosure expressed. Decisions regarding disclosure occurred with university personnel, friends and peers, and at work. Three disclosure attitudes were identified: proactive, open, and reactive. Exploratory quantitative analysis revealed that college students with reactive attitudes toward disclosure reported lower life satisfaction, well-being, and illness acceptance than peers with open or proactive attitudes. Results demonstrate the unique contexts of disclosure faced by emerging adults with chronic conditions and suggest distinct approaches to disclosure are associated with well-being in different ways. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Genderqueer and non-binary (GQNB) people are increasingly recognized within the gender-diverse community, yet how they navigate the sociocultural constructions of GQNB identity remains underexamined. This article examines the constructions of GQNB identity at the intersection of racial-ethnic identity among 19 racially diverse GQNB college students at an elite, predominantly white, Midwestern university. Participants completed a one-on-one semi-structured interview regarding their experiences with the expectations others hold about their identities. Using thematic analysis, we identified five related themes that characterize participants’ identity-relevant expectations: (a) Racial/Ethnic Stereotypes, (b) Queer Normativity, (c) Privilege & Power, (d) Binary Rigidity, (e) Educating Others. We then analyzed how participants negotiate these expectations using the master narrative framework to interlace personal and societal identity narratives. Rigidity regarding how to be GQNB demonstrates the transactional nature of identity as individuals internalize and resist sociocultural norms. Implications for the broader literature on gender identity and its development are discussed.

Most research on resilience has been conducted in North America and Western Europe, limiting our understanding of the processes of overcoming trauma in other cultural settings. This study explored the process of resilience through in-depth interviews with 19 emerging adults in Kosovo, a collectivist and post-conflict society. The study also included an examination of resilience among LGBTQ+ young adults in Kosovo. We used the resilience portfolio model as a framework, which in addition to being one of the few theoretical models previously applied to Kosovo resilience research, is also designed to be adaptable for different cultural contexts. The three domains of the resilience portfolio model, meaning making, regulatory, and interpersonal strengths, manifested in numerous ways in this sample. Participants described relying on some psychosocial strengths that are commonly identified in resilience research in other settings, such as social support and future orientation, as well as some factors, such as dignity, that have been less studied and may reflect more unique aspects of Kosovar culture. LGBTQ+ participants mentioned peer support as important, especially as many received limited support from family members. The process of coming out and activism were also highlighted as key strengths for LGBTQ+ participants. The results highlight the need to consider cultural settings in resilience research. Moreover, the study underscores the importance of supporting LGBTQ+ communities in Kosovo by recognizing their challenges, traumas, and capabilities.

For emerging adults enrolled in higher education institutions, their sense of belonging to the university largely influences their development. However, not all students experience university belonging in the same way. There is a dearth of work identifying how students make meaning of their everyday experiences and how those experiences affect their daily university belonging. Our article draws on a mixed-methods study of students’ sense of university belonging to investigate how daily experiences within university contexts shape and influence their university belonging. We found five categories of daily experiences (e.g., non-academic interpersonal interactions, community-building events, academics, campus resources, emotions and stress) which affected students’ university belonging. The results suggest that signals of university belonging exist in all facets of university life, helping us further understand the reasons behind students’ university belonging fluctuations.

Personality driven by Behavioral Inhibition/Activation Systems (BIS/BAS) can significantly influence self-esteem. Humans form self-esteem during social interactions; thus, social relationships may be a critical mediator. This study aims to systematically explore the role of social relationships in these relations among emerging adults. The essential social relationships of emerging adults, including mother-child, father-child, and peer relationships, were examined. Participants ( N = 967, M age = 19.16, 420 females) completed self-reported measures for BIS/BAS, social relationships, and self-esteem. The results demonstrate the mediating effect of social relationships: BIS was negatively related to all social relationships, which were further related to lower self-esteem; BAS was positively related to mother-child and peer relationships, which were further related to higher self-esteem. Moreover, the mother-child relationship emerged as a mediator linking BIS/BAS and father-child and peer relationships in the two models, indicating the unique contribution of mother-child interactions in Chinese emerging adults.

This study investigated the impact of parental sensitivity on emerging adults' psychological well-being. Using a moderated mediation model, it explored how adjustment (prosocial and aggressive behavior) mediates the association between perceived parental sensitivity and psychological well-being of emerging adults. Additionally, residential mobility was examined as a moderator in the relationship between parental sensitivity and adjustment. A sample of 445 emerging adults ( M age = 21.46, SDage = 2.33) reported the number of their past moves and rated their parents’ sensitivity, their adjustment, and their psychological well-being. Results revealed that high maternal sensitivity positively predicted psychological well-being through increased prosocial behavior. This indirect relationship was significant only among individuals with lower levels of residential mobility. This pattern was not observed with paternal sensitivity, and the model yielded insignificant results for aggressive behavior. These findings highlight the significance of early maternal sensitivity in influencing the adjustment and psychological well-being of emerging adults.

This research investigates the relation between climate anxiety, threat perceptions for future generations, and childbearing motivations in childless emerging adults. Using a sample of 1211 Swiss college students aged 18–25, the study explores if threat perceptions mediate the relationship between climate anxiety and childbearing motivations. Results from structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that climate anxiety significantly predicted greater perceptions of threat, which in turn related to less positive childbearing motivations and more negative childbearing motivations. Specifically, the relationship between climate anxiety and childbearing motivations was partly to fully explained by threat perceptions, suggesting that worries about the future environment could be an important factor in emerging adults’ complex reproductive considerations. No gender moderation was found. These findings underscore the need for policy interventions that provide psychological support and targeted educational resources to assist young adults in navigating the complex interplay between climate anxiety, threat perceptions, and their decisions regarding childbearing.

Suicide is a leading cause of death for undergraduate students, with there being a crucial need to understand sources of suicide prevention for this population. While the benefits of compassion toward others appear to align with the psychological targets of recovery from suicidal ideation, little is known about the potential role of compassion for others in undergraduate students’ recovery process. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experience and impact of compassion toward others, as it relates to undergraduate students’ recovery from suicidal thinking. We interviewed six undergraduate students about their experiences of compassion toward others and its impact on recovery. Using data analyses methods from interpretative phenomenological analysis, six superordinate themes emerged, including: sense of meaning and purpose, reciprocity, positive self-concept, non-judgement and acceptance, social connection, and the cost of compassion. Implications for counseling, limitations, and future directions for research are discussed.

The rise of social media coupled with declining trust in major social institutions (e.g., business, government) has arguably intensified the challenges young people face in developing their beliefs and identity. Our exploratory study used in-depth, semi-structured interviews with nineteen young adults (14 female, 5 male, 17 aged 18–23, and 2 aged 24–30) to explore how young adults navigate the diverging viewpoints and competing truth claims encountered from friends, family, and social media. A cluster analysis of interview responses revealed three groups: Relativistic Explorers, marked by high openness to views without judging them; Differentiated Committers, who displayed strong commitments to specific views or values; and Precipitated Explorers, who shared a common history of social and/or familial rejection, and thus an involuntary launch into belief exploration. Results underscore both the developmental challenges facing young adults in our modern, media-saturated society and some of the strategies they adopt to navigate the current epistemic landscape.

Emerging adulthood is associated with change and distress. The System for Adult Growth and Emergence – Foundations (SAGE-F) treatment program, a six-week outpatient DBT intensive, was developed to improve emotional functioning for such individuals. Utilizing a single-group design, the current study aims to re-examine ( n = 48) and expand ( n = 83) initial therapeutic findings of SAGE-F. Participants were administered an assessment battery at pre-treatment, upon immediate completion of SAGE-F, six-weeks after baseline, and at three months following program completion. Results were comparable to the pilot study: the completion of SAGE-F, when compared to baseline, is associated with reductions in mood dysregulation and self-harm, and improvements in functioning capacities, with gains sustained for at least three months. Further, program completion was associated with improved DBT skill use, with individuals demonstrating more insight of skill dysfunction rather than skill growth. Results continue to support that SAGE-F provides both immediate and long-term benefits.
