According to Jeffrey Arnett, what are the five key features of emerging adulthood?

What will be an ideal response?


Exploring identity, especially in love and work. Emerging adulthood is the time during which key changes in identity take place for many individuals. 
Experiencing instability. Residential changes peak during early adulthood, a time during which there also is often instability in love, work, and education. 
Being self-focused. Emerging adults "are self-focused in the sense that they have little in the way of social obligations, little in the way of duties and commitments to others, which leaves them with a great deal of autonomy in running their own lives." 
Feeling in-between. Many emerging adults don't consider themselves adolescents or full-fledged adults. 
Experiencing the age of possibilities, a time when individuals have an opportunity to transform their lives. Arnett describes two ways in which emerging adulthood is the age of possibilities. First, many emerging adults are optimistic about their future. Second, for emerging adults who have experienced difficult times while growing up, emerging adulthood presents an opportunity to direct their lives in a more positive direction.
