Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging adulthood - the period between the late teens and mid-twenties - is a unique and important developmental period during which people gain relationship experience before settling on someone to partner with. Romantic Relationships in Emerging Adulthood presents a synthesis of research and theory on this topic. Leading scholars from demography, sociology, family studies, and psychology provide original data and theoretical analyses that address the formation, nature, and significance of romantic relationships in emerging adults. Until recently, it was assumed that romantic relationships in emerging adults were not particularly important or formative. The material presented allows this assumption to be thoroughly evaluated. This volume is intended to be a resource for anyone interested in understanding romantic relationships in emerging adulthood. It is especially appropriate for classroom use in upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in the fields of family sociology, human development and family studies, clinical and developmental psychology, and social work.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers are interested in promoting healthy marriages in adulthood by providing services to strengthen the adolescent precursors of healthy marriage, especially within low-income populations. But if programs and curricula targeting adolescent romantic relationships are to be effective, they must be grounded in an accurate understanding of how adolescent relationships function and the role that they play in the development of healthy adult marriages. This report evaluates the current landscape of theory, research, and interventions addressing the role of adolescent romantic relationships in the development of healthy adult marriages. Drawing on a thorough review of the existing theoretical and empirical literature in this area, as well as interviews with practitioners directly involved with developing or administering relationship education to adolescents, the authors bring together relevant research and theory from a wide range of disciplines that have examined these issues, and suggest future directions for research and intervention. In particular, they note that although research describing romantic relationships in low-income populations is sparse, there are already-existing nationally representative data sets that include data from substantial numbers of well-sampled low-income adolescents. Analyses of these data would have relatively low cost and a potentially high yield for informing policies that target low-income youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flourishing in Emerging Adulthood highlights the third decade of life as a time in which individuals have diverse opportunities for positive development. There is mounting evidence that this time period, at least for a significant majority, is a unique developmental period in which positive development is fostered. Dr. Lene Arnett Jensen highlights the importance of this work in an engaging foreword, and chapters are written by leading scholars in diverse disciplines who address various aspects of flourishing. They discuss multiple aspects of positive development including how young people flourish in key areas of emerging adulthood (e.g., identity, love, work, worldviews), the various unique opportunities afforded to young people to flourish, how flourishing might look different around the world, and how flourishing can occur in the face of challenge. Most chapters are accompanied by first-person essays written by a range of emerging adults who exemplify the aspect of flourishing denoted in that chapter and make note of how choices and experiences have helped them transition to adulthood. Taken together, this innovative collection provides rich evidence and examples of how young people are flourishing as a group and as individuals in a variety of settings and circumstances. This unique resource will be useful to students, faculty, professionals, clinicians, and university personnel who work with young adults or who study development during emerging adulthood.

Download or read book Relationship Cognitions as Explanatory Linkages from Family History and Personality to Romantic Relationships in Early Adulthood written by April Nichole Sanders and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two-hundred and sixty-five participants and their romantic partners were involved in a prospective, longitudinal, and multi-method study during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The research (a) investigated mid-adolescent family experiences and individual differences in personality as predictors of qualities in the early adult romantic union and (b) evaluated the degree to which marital beliefs (i.e., beliefs that marriage requires investment and beliefs that marriage leads to life fulfillment) mediated these associations. Structural equation modeling partially supported the mediating effects of marital beliefs. An integration of findings suggests that it is informative to study early adult romantic relationships within a developmental-contextual framework, while simultaneously considering the unique effects of personality and relationship cognitions.

Download or read book Adolescent Romantic Relations and Sexual Behavior written by Paul Florsheim and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2003-07-18 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developmental and clinical researchers have only just discovered the phenomenon of adolescent romance as a topic of serious scientific inquiry. This discovery may be related to the overwhelming evidence that adult romantic relationships are failing at alarming rates. Dramatic increases in the rates of divorce, out of wedlock childbirth, and relationship violence lead to questions about the developmental precursors of romantic love and commitment. What's wrong with love and can it be fixed? This book brings together a diverse group of experts from various disciplines to address a serious gap in the understanding of adolescent development. Part I focuses on romantic relations and sexual behavior from the perspective of normative adolescent development. Part II centers on high-risk adolescents and Part III explores the practical implications of current theory and research for clinicians, educators, and health administrators. Together the chapters in this integrative and clinically useful book lay a foundation for understanding how adolescents successfully navigate the tumultuous waters of young love.

Download or read book Romance and Sex in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood written by Alan Booth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this classic edition top scholars in family research examine the nature and origin of adolescents’ contemporary patterns of sexual and romantic relationships, from the evolutionary roots of these behaviors to policies and programs that represent best practices for addressing these issues in schools and communities. The text offers interdisciplinary expertise from scholars of psychology, social work, sociology, demography, economics, human development and family studies, and public policy. Adolescents and young adults today face very different choices about family formation than did their parents’ generation, given such societal changes as the rise in cohabitation, the increase in divorce rates, and families having fewer children. This book examines these demographic trends and provides a backdrop against which adolescents and emerging adults form and maintain romantic and sexual relationships. This book addresses such questions as: *What are the ways in which early family and peer relationships give rise to romantic relationships in the late adolescent and early adult years? *How do early romantic and sexual relationships influence individuals’ subsequent development and life choices, including family formation? *To what extent are current trends in romantic and sexual relationships in adolescence and emerging adulthood problematic for individuals, families, and communities, and what are the most effective ways to address these issues at the level of practice, program, and policy? Ideal as a supplement in graduate or advanced undergraduate courses on interpersonal (romantic) relationships, adolescent development, human sexuality, couples and/or family and conflict, sociology of children and youth, family therapy taught in human development and family studies, clinical or counseling psychology, social work, sociology, communications, and human sexuality this book also appreciated by researchers and clinicians/counselors who work with families and adolescents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young adulthood is a stage in the life course characterized by exploration, instability, and change. While the traditional markers of adulthood have become increasingly more difficult for young adults to attain, there are several important developmental tasks for them to achieve. Among these developmental tasks include the formation of romantic relationships. Research on romantic relationships in young adulthood has grown over the past few decades, but few researchers have explored the correlates of young adults' relationship quality, union dissolution, and repartnering. Further missing from this body of work is a focus on subjective correlates, which are indicators that broadly capture an individual's feelings about and perceptions of their life experiences. Such indicators are important to consider among young adults, whose subjective interpretations of various aspects of their lives may not always correspond with their objective realities. Addressing these gaps within the literature, this dissertation uses data from the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS) to assess the objective and subjective correlates of relationship quality, union dissolution, and repartnering in young adulthood. In the first two analytic chapters, I examine the correlates of relationship quality and union dissolution, focusing my attention on the role of socioeconomic characteristics in these relationship outcomes. In the final analytic chapter, I examine the prevalence, patterns, and predictors of repartnering in young adulthood. The overall findings of this dissertation suggest that while young adults' romantic relationships tend to be characterized by more positive qualities, many experience the dissolution of their relationships and subsequently repartner following their breakups. These findings also highlight the importance of considering subjective correlates in assessments of young adults' relationships. More often than not, the subjective correlates, including financial prospects, stress, and relationship dynamics, were more strongly associated with the relationship outcomes than the objective correlates in each of the analytic chapters. The findings from this dissertation make important contributions to the literature by documenting levels of relationship quality, union dissolution, and repartnering in young adulthood, and further highlight how these outcomes vary for young adults with diverse sociodemographic backgrounds and relationship experiences. This dissertation underscores the need for future research to consider various correlates and relationship outcomes in an effort to advance our understanding of the meaning of romantic relationships in young adulthood.

This book was released on 2014-05-17 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last half of the 20th century, divorce rates more than doubled, reaching a peak in the 1980s that has since declined only slightly. Over the same period, rates of cohabitation (i.e., unmarried couples sharing a household) have greatly increased and, perhaps as a consequence, the average age at which people are getting married has risen significantly. As much as these trends have affected all segments of society, they have been especially pronounced within low-income populations, suggesting that forming and sustaining a healthy marriage may be uniquely challenging in the context of economic disadvantage.The Healthy Marriage Initiative. Concern about the potential social impact of these trends has motivated community leaders and policymakers to initiate programs and policies to encourage and support healthy marriages, especially among low-income populations. At the federal level, these efforts began in 1996 with the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA). Among the goals of the law were to “encourage the formation and maintenance of two-parent families” and to “end the dependence of needy parents on government benefits by promoting . . . marriage” (Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, 1996, Section 401). When this measure was renewed in 2006, the new legislation allocated $750 million to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for activities that promote and support healthy marriages and responsible fatherhood. Recent funding announcements for this initiative have targeted low-income populations. Thus, a substantial level of federal and state resources will soon be devoted to efforts to support and strengthen marriages in low-income communities.The Case for Targeting Adolescents. Although most activities designed to promote and support healthy marriages are aimed at adults, an accumulating body of evidence suggests that, by the time members of low-income populations reach adulthood, some of the factors that place them at higher risk for unmarried parenthood and divorce may already be in place. In particular, a number of researchers and theorists have suggested that the building blocks of healthy adult marriages are formed during adolescence. Among the many elements of adolescents' lives that may provide a foundation for healthy marriages as adults (e.g., the quality of the education they receive, their available career opportunities, protection from violence and substance abuse), researchers and policymakers have devoted particular attention to adolescents' romantic relationships. Indeed, more than 80 percent of first romantic relationships occur during adolescence, and experiences in these relationships can have potentially life-altering consequences for adolescents' emotional health, social and academic competence, and self-esteem. The consequences may be even more significant within low-income populations, where rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), intimate partner violence, and teen pregnancy are disproportionately high. Recognizing the importance of adolescent romantic relationships to healthy adult development suggests that targeting those relationships directly may lay the foundation for subsequent healthier marriages in adulthood. Consistent with this strategy, the recent legislation allocating funds for the Healthy Marriage Initiative describes relationship-focused education in high schools as one of eight activities eligible for support.Goals of the Report. To inform current efforts to strengthen the adolescent precursors of healthy marriage, the overarching goal of this report is to synthesize and evaluate the existing basic and applied literature on adolescent romantic relationships, with particular emphasis on experiences in these relationships as precursors of adult marriages.
