Abstract: Researchers suggest that in industrialised countries, the late teens to mid-twenties can be thought of as a period of emerging adulthood.1 This is a time when people start to become more self-sufficient, explore their identity and consider and test different possibilities for their futures, before fully committing to adult roles and responsibilities, or making enduring choices. It is also a time of psychosocial maturation, when people change and mature in the way they make decisions and relate to themselves and others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
