Abstract

Adult psychology is the study of human behavior, cognition, and emotions in individuals who have reached maturity. It is a branch of psychology that is focused on the unique challenges, experiences, and developmental changes that occur in adults as they navigate through their lives. Developmental psychologists have identified a series of stages that individuals progress through as they age. In the case of adult psychology, the focus is on the stages that occur after adolescence, which include young adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood. Each stage is characterized by unique challenges, responsibilities, and opportunities for personal growth. Young adulthood, which typically lasts from the late teens to early thirties, is a time when individuals are establishing their identity, forming intimate relationships, and making decisions about their education and career paths. This is a time of great change and experimentation, and individuals may experience a wide range of emotions as they explore different options and make important life choices.
