Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood: A Cultural Approach

A textbook for students of human development, this book looks at how culture shapes the years from the early teens into adulthood. It draws on psychology as well as anthropology and sociology, places current findings in historical context, and compares research from many countries, not only the United States. The author introduced the idea of emerging adulthood, the period roughly between ages eighteen and twenty-five, and this fifth edition adds newer studies from home and abroad. Learning tools include an online course platform, a video series and a simulation in which students raise a virtual teenager from birth to eighteen. Features throughout encourage readers to weigh how research methods can shape what researchers find.
