 Emerging Adulthood

a separate developmental stage.

attractive and thrilling as a result.




Drug Abuse / Addiction

The ingestion of a drug to the extent that it impairs the user's biological or
psychological well-being.




Postformal Thought

A proposed adult stage of cognitive development, following Piaget's four
stages. Postformal thought goes beyond adolescent thinking by being more
practical, more flexible, & more dialectical (more capable of combining
contradictory elements into a comprehensive whole).




Stereotype Threat

The possibility that one's appearance or behavior will be misread to confirm
another person's oversimplified, prejudiced attitudes.

,Massification

The idea that establishing higher learning institutions & encouraging college
enrollment could benefit everyone, leading to marked increases in the

Personality in Emerging Adulthood

Continuity & change are evident. This age is characterized by years of
freedom from a settled lifestyle. New characteristics appear & negative traits
diminish.




Psychological Disorders

thought to include psychological vulnerability, combined with one's own
identity apart from the family. (schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, suicide,
drug addiction)




Intimacy vs. Isolation

The 6th of Erikson's 8 stages of development. Adults seek someone with
whom to share their lives in an enduring and self-sacrificing commitment.
Without such commitment they risk profound loneliness & isolation.




Choice Overload

, Having so many options that a thoughtful choice becomes difficult, & regret
after making a choice is more likely.




Cohabitation

An arrangement in which a couple live together in a committed romantic
relationship but are not formally married.




Linked Lives

Lives in which the success, health, & well-being of each family member are
connected to those of other members, including members of another
generation, as in the relationship between parents & children.




Senescence

A gradual physical decline related to aging. It occurs in everyone & in every
body part, but the rate of decline is highly variable within & between
persons.




Organ Reserve

The extra capacity built into each organ, such as the heart & lungs, that
allows a person to cope with extraordinary demands or to withstand organ
strain.

state of equilibrium, moment by moment. As the body ages, it takes longer
