Emerging adulthood the period from the late teens to the mid- to late 20s, when individuals are not adolescents but not yet full adults. Role transition: assuming new responsibilities and duties when a person moves from one phase of development (adolescence) to another (adulthood) These can differ from one culture or subculture to the next.
