Emerging Adulthood: Feeling in-between and Subsequent Associations with Social-Emotional Wellbeing

This study examined group differences on social-emotional wellbeing measures (coping self-efficacy, loneliness, positive and negative affect) based on university students’ self-perceptions of having reached adulthood. Those who perceived themselves as having reached adulthood reported higher coping self-efficacy and positive affect, but did not differ in loneliness or negative affect.
