Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emerging adulthood, a phase characterized by exploration and instability, is more prevalent in industrialized countries where young people often delay entering into traditional adult roles to pursue education and career opportunities. This phase does not specifically correspond to Erikson's stage of ego integrity versus despair, which is associated with late adulthood, nor is it limited to those with limited economic resources and little education. It also extends beyond the late teen years, typically from about 18 to the mid-to-late 20s.
