Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Arnett proposed a new developmental stage called "emerging adulthood" for the years between age 18 and 25. This stage represents a period of transition between adolescence and adulthood, characterized by exploration, instability, self-focus, and a sense of feeling "in-between." The term "extended adolescence" (choice A) may also be used to describe this stage, but it does not capture the unique features and potential for growth and development during emerging adulthood. Choices C and D are not accurate descriptions of Arnett's proposed stage.
