{"product_id":"the-oxford-handbook-of-emerging-adulthood-9780199795574","title":"The Oxford Handbook of Emerging Adulthood","description":"In recent decades, the lives of people in their late teens and twenties have changed so dramatically that a new stage of life has developed. In an original paper published in 2000, Jeffrey Jensen Arnett identified this period, coining it emerging adulthood, and he distinguished it from both\u003cbr\u003ethe adolescence that precedes it and the young adulthood that comes in its wake. His new paradigm received a surge of scholarly attention after his first book on the topic launched the field, and both a flourishing society and journal developed to further expand this area of research. Studies and\u003cbr\u003epublications on emerging adulthood now abound, and the leading research has yet to be organized into a single handbook that covers the field. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Emerging Adulthood\u003c\/em\u003e is the first and only comprehensive compilation spanning the field of emerging adulthood. Expertly edited by Arnett, this Handbook is comprised of cutting-edge chapters written by leading scholars in developmental psychology. Topics include theoretical\u003cbr\u003eperspectives and structural influences in the field; cognitive development during emerging adulthood; family, friendship, and romantic relationships; sexual identity and orientation; education and work; leisure and media use; mental health; religious and political beliefs; positive development; and\u003cbr\u003esubstance abuse and crime, to name a few. Sure to be the definitive resource for researchers, scholars, and students studying emerging adulthood, this Handbook will pave the way for new scholarship in this expanding area of inquiry and serve as an excellent resource for the wider field of\u003cbr\u003edevelopmental psychology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Jensen Arnett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.20w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199795574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeffrey Jensen Arnett, PhD, \u003c\/strong\u003eis a Research Professor in the Department of Psychology at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts.
