According to Arnett (2015), emerging adulthood is the age marked by the exploration of one’s identity, by possibilities/optimism, and instability, as well as a period of self-focus, during which individuals tend to view themselves as being neither adolescents nor adults. This ambivalence might be explained by the gradual nature of the main criteria that emerging adults perceive as necessary for reaching adulthood (Arnett, 2015; L. J. Nelson et al., 2007): the acceptance of responsibility for one’s self, making independent decisions, and becoming financially independent. Accordingly, emerging adults’ main developmental tasks concern becoming responsible for themselves, instead of sharing responsibility for their actions with parents, and gaining self-sufficiency, including financial independence (Tanner, 2006). Therefore, the transition to adulthood is a process that inevitably occurs in relation to others, namely the family of origin (Tanner, 2006), having been described as a joint enterprise of both children and parents (Scabini et al., 2006).
