Document Summary
Chapter 14: psychosocial development in emerging and young adulthood. Recentering: the process that underlies the shift to an adult identity (the primary task of this tage) Stage 1 - still embedded in family of origin but expected to be self-reliant & self- directed. Stage 2 - connected to family, but moving toward serious commitments and gaining resources to support them. Stage 3 - independence from family of origin, with increased commitment to career, partner, and possibly children. One measure of success in becoming autonomous is the ability to remain connected with parents. Parent and children seem to get along best when normative life course is followed. Young adults must make commitments to others or face isolation and self-absorption. Resolution of this stage results in virtue of love . In the u. s. 90% of adults will marry at some point in their adult life. Age of marriage has risen in most industrialized countries.
