Document Summary
Feel the need to totally recenter our lives. Emerging into adulthood- not a universal life stage. For exploring- trying out options before committing to adult roles. Ability to think and reason in top form. It means to accept responsibility, support yourself and make your own independent decisions about life. Takes decades (defined by variability, longevity, the need for education and ethic that stresses personal freedom) Spain, italy and greece- norms are against cohabitation and will attend university close to home. Scandinavia- economy is better so independence is a societal goal. Being married is not important for having children. Fun fact- commitment, money and independence level all influence relationship choices. Usa- young people leaving home (18 years old) but can also findit difficult to leave home. Leaving home- a rite of passage first step to freedom (independence) Parent child relationships- report less conflict after their children leave home. Physically leaving the house has nothing to do with becoming disconnected from parents.
