we are currently planning our own data-gathering strategies. however, given
advanced knowledge about this instrument, there has been considerable interest
on the part of investigators studying this period of emerging adulthood,
including requests to be allowed to administer this measure. i have been
ambivalent, given that i think it first needs to have documented psychometric
properties. i have discussed this with jeffrey arnett who has seen the measure
and with his blessing, and a few tweaks of items, we have agreed on the
following: for me to release the instrument to thoughtful researchers who will
examine its psychometric properties including its validity in studies on this
population, and report back to both of us.
i am particularly concerned that it be employed in the service of thoughtful
research questions and hypotheses, to which i am told is what the members of
this society are devoted. i feel it is essential that researchers include
appropriate non-college samples. too many studies have used university students
as “samples of convenience”. however, the majority of emerging adults are not
college students. so whom does one select? there are many considerations. one is
a person’s socio-economic level. another is the particular occupation. for
example, are we talking about those who are still employed as wait staff or in
service jobs vs. those who have become more skilled laborers such as
electricians, plumbers, or those employed in the technological world of
computers, who do not have college degrees? are we talking about those who have
moved along the path to independence from their families versus those who, for
various reasons, are still living in their parents’ home, not uncommon in
today’s world?
as arnett has thoughtfully observed, an emerging adult is not a generic term for
anyone in our culture who has graduated from high school and is of a certain
age. nor should researchers race off to other cultures, though cross-cultural
issues are critical in our global, expanding or perhaps constricting, world
today. i would not advise this. this instrument, like many others that i have
constructed, was designed for american youth. i have the utmost respect for many
colleagues who are doing thoughtful cross-cultural research, who know and
understand the culture that they are investigating. but too many well-meaning
researchers take american measures off to other countries or cultures, with
little cultural sensitivity or knowledge of the culture, returning with
meaningless results. people have taken my measures to cultures where there is
not even a term for “self-esteem” in their language. i have written about
cross-cultural issues in a chapter in my 2012 book, the construction of the
self: developmental and sociocultural foundations.
jeffrey and i propose that, if people want to use this instrument toward
examining thoughtful hypotheses, and if the instrument proves to be reliable and
valid, such investigators submit their research, in an article (apa style) to
both of us. we will review such articles and select a few to be the basis for a
symposium at the october 2017 convention. if there is interest, we could
schedule a follow-up session for discussion of the use of this instrument, for
those interested.
this is an exciting new venture. i am a believer in emerging adulthood. i raised
one of these creatures! we joked about how we would just “freeze-dry” her for a
few years, and have her emerge as a fully-developed adult! such is obviously not
to understand development. of course, i imagine myself to have been
fully-evolved, skipping this tortuous period of development. witnesses to the
contrary, please do not come forth.
please join us in this endeavor.
