Jeffrey Jensen Arnett, PhD, is a Research Professor in the Department of Psychology at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. He originally proposed the theory of emerging adulthood to describe the lives of today's 18-29-year-olds, and he is the Founding President and Executive Director of the Society for the Study of Emerging Adulthood.
"Arnett has produced a brilliant compilation of everything you want
to know about the latest theory and research on emerging adults. He
has skillfully assembled a first-rate group of scholars who provide
clear and cogent accounts of what is known and set the stage for
new directions of inquiry. This is a landmark resource for anyone
interested in understanding how the period of emerging adulthood
fits into the overall life course." --Margie E. Lachman,
Minnie and Harold Fierman Professor of Psychology, Brandeis
University, Director of the Lifespan Development Lab, and Editor of
the Handbook of Midlife Development
"Ever since Professor Jeffrey Arnett introduced the concept of
emerging adulthood in 2000, the scholarly study of this
developmental stage has taken off in a way that few topics ever do.
The Oxford Handbook of Emerging Adulthood is an impressive, timely,
and necessary resource. It offers a depth and comprehensiveness
that is rare in such a relatively new area of study. Scholars, both
new and seasoned, will find a treasure trove of theory, findings,
and
applications in its pages." --Bella DePaulo, PhD, author of How We
Live Now and Singled Out
"This book on the new and rapidly growing area of study in
developmental psychology--emerging adulthood--is a bold, pioneering
effort of Dr. Jeffrey Arnett and 75 other scholars... This is an
outstanding contribution to psychology. As we understand ourselves
and others more deeply, we lead happier, more meaningful
lives."
