People, at every age, face new problems and experiences. In this site, we will be focusing on the stages of adulthood. Daniel Levinson is a psychologist who undertook an intensive, long-term study to understand the development stages that males pass during adulthood.
Early adulthood is a transition period.
This stage consists of the ages from 17 through 39. The first transition of this stage, ages 17 through 22, is the change from adolescence to adulthood. This includes leaving home, going to college, or getting a full-time job. The next transition of this stage is to explore relationships and career opportunities. This is a tough period in which much thinking and reevaluating is done.
