During the last quarter century there has been the emergence of a new life stage between adolescence and adulthood that has been labeled “emerging adulthood.” This state is the result of the substantial increase in the median age at first marriage for both men and women. The focus of this project is (1) to conduct research on the attitudes and behaviors among emerging adults related to the transition to adulthood and the transition to marriage, and (2) to develop effective methods of outreach to better educate emerging adults on how their current life decisions influence their later development and marriage relationships.
