Preferred term

family relationships in young adulthood  

Definition

  • Early adulthood is marked by exploration and experimentation in new roles, and frequent, fast-paced, life-course changes. Most young adults have not “settled down,” but experience frequent changes in life circumstances, including home-leaving, moving into and out of romantic relationships, jobs, and educational settings.
