NPR focuses on emerging adulthood

Posted December 20th, 2007 by Tara Murray in Children and Adolescents, Families

NPR’s “Your Health” this morning focused on emerging adulthood. Read a transcript of the segment or listen at npr.org.

The story highlights the work of Larry Nelson at Brigham Young University, who surveyed college students and their parents and found that most of the parents did not consider their 18- to 26-year-old children adults.  His work is forthcoming in the Journal of Family Psychology.
