Research reveals that most 18 to 25 years old individuals do not consider themselves to be adults. This time period between adolescence and adulthood has been newly defined as emerging adulthoods. The purpose of this study was to : a. attempt to identify perceived adults, and b. explore whether differences in adulthood criteria, achievement of those criteria identity issues, risk - taking behaviours and depression are based on perceived adult status. Findings from 232 college students' responses revealed that there was a small group of perceived adults and when compared to their emerging - adults peers, they : a. did not differ on the adulthood criteria they used b. believed they had achieved more of the criteria c. had a better sense of their overall identity, as well as what type of person they wanted as a romantic partner d. were less depressed, and e. engaged infewer risk behaviours (e. g. illegal drug use and drunk driving)
