Early Adulthood

By Academic Wizard Blog

Early Adulthood

Discussion Board Question:

During the span of adulthood, individuals experience various roles that impact their life-course and trajectory of development. These various life roles help to explain the psychosocial dynamics of the stage through their meaning, when and how they present themselves, and what they mean to the individual experiencing that shift in a life role.

According to Newman and Newman (2018), “Adulthood can be seen as a series of increasingly differentiated and complex roles that the individual plays for substantial lengths of time. The salient roles of adulthood, such as worker, spouse, friend, parent, teacher, mentor, volunteer, or community leader, give structure to adult identity and meaning to life” (). In order to understand adulthood, Social Role Theory is the lens used to encompass the stage’s complexities and influences.

Reflecting on the major components of the theory, what are the key roles that a person is likely to enact in early adulthood? How might these roles enhance each other? Conflict with each other?
What are the sources of happiness and fulfillment that are central to this life-stage? Describe some consequences of getting drawn into a work role that does not promote fulfillment.
Think about the period of early adulthood as a time for establishing a lifestyle that is in harmony with the goals, values, and commitments that were formed in later adolescence. What are some reasons that young adults might experience uncertainty and a need to change? Evaluate the costs and benefits of making major lifestyle changes during this stage.
