Emerging Adulthood (EA) is an interdisciplinary and international journal focused on advancements in theory, methodology, and empirical research during the emerging adulthood developmental period (ages 18-29). The journal publishes manuscripts that advance basic and applied knowledge of normative and atypical development during emerging adulthood; studies that focus on the antecedents and/or consequences of experiences during this developmental period also are welcome. EA encourages the use of both qualitative and quantitative methodology. The journal publishes full-length research articles and shorter brief reports. Manuscripts focused on issues related to diversity (in regard to gender, race, sexuality, SES, etc.), substance use and abuse, behavioral health (e.g., depression, anxiety, ADHD), and social media use are especially welcome.


Emerging Adulthood is an interdisciplinary forum covering developmental psychology, clinical psychology, human development and family science, social psychology, and other social sciences such as psychiatry, social work, sociology, public health, and post-secondary education.
