View through CrossRef
This opening chapter of the volume provides a broad definition of flourishing and argues that there are a variety of ways to flourish during emerging adulthood. It urges researchers to consider both the positive and negative sides of this time period. Emerging adulthood has been referred to as a time of arrested development, during which young people avoid responsibilities that are thought to be typical of adulthood. Yet this is also a unique developmental time period in which positive development is fostered. There are many opportunities available for positive development, civic engagement, and moral development. There has also been a surge in the study of positive youth development. This chapter reviews this research, and also highlights how the following chapters meet the goals of the volume.
