BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT
How We Live Now: Redefining Home and Family in the 21st Century
by Bella De Paulo, Ph.D.
In the U.S. today, there are more single
people than ever before. It is not just that the age at which people
first marry is continuing to climb; a record number of Americans are
likely never to marry at all. A Pew report estimates that by the time
today's young adults reach
age 50, about 25% of them will have been single all their lives. If
you are tempted to think of this as sad, think again. I have found that
more people than we may have imagined are
"single at heart" – they embrace single life as a meaningful and
authentic way to live. Read more about Dr. De Paulo's book
here.

Call for Papers:
Special Edition, Romantic Dissolution in EA
Jerika C. Norona and Deborah P. Welsh
(University of Tennessee) and Emerging
Adulthood invite you to submit a paper for a
special issue on romantic dissolution in
emerging adulthood. This special issue of
Emerging Adulthood will focus on the
positive and negative aspects of romantic
relationship dissolution and/or “on again,
off again” romantic relationships in
emerging adulthood. Manuscripts sought
include those that contribute to our
understanding of the process and outcomes
(both positive and negative) of romantic
relationship dissolution and the role of
breakups in emerging adults’ larger
individual and romantic trajectories. Please
see
here for the full announcement.
Book Announcement: Oxford Handbook of EA
The Oxford
Handbook of Emerging Adulthood, edited by
Jeffrey Jensen Arnett, is being released
this month. This is the first and only
comprehensive compilation spanning the field
of emerging adulthood. It is comprised of
cutting-edge chapters written by leading
scholars in developmental psychology. Topics
include theoretical perspectives and
structural influences in the field;
cognitive development during emerging
adulthood; family, friendship, and romantic
relationships; sexual identity and
orientation; education and work; leisure and
media use; mental health; religious and
political beliefs; positive development; and
substance abuse and crime, to name a few.
Sure to be the definitive resource for
researchers, scholars, and students studying
emerging adulthood, this Handbook will pave
the way for new scholarship in this
expanding area of inquiry and serve as an
excellent resource for the wider field of
developmental psychology.

“Arnett has produced a brilliant compilation
of everything you want to know about the
latest theory and research on emerging
adults. He has skillfully assembled a
first-rate group of scholars who provide
clear and cogent accounts of what is known
and set the stage for new directions of
inquiry. This is a landmark resource for
anyone interested in understanding how the
period of emerging adulthood fits into the
overall life course.”—Margie E. Lachman,
PhD, Minnie and Harold L. Fierman Professor
of Psychology and Director of the Lifespan
Developmental Psychology Lab, Brandeis
University, and Editor of the Handbook of
Midlife Development
“Ever since Professor Jeffrey Arnett
introduced the concept of emerging adulthood
in 2000, the scholarly study of this
developmental stage has taken off in a way
that few topics ever do. The Oxford Handbook
of Emerging Adulthood is an impressive,
timely, and necessary resource. It offers a
depth and comprehensiveness that is rare in
such a relatively new area of study.
Scholars, both new and seasoned, will find a
treasure trove of theory, findings, and
applications in its pages.”—Bella DePaulo,
PhD, author of How We Live Now and Singled
Out
OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS BOOK SERIES ON EA
Oxford University Press is sponsoring a book
series on emerging adulthood
edited by Dr. Larry J. Nelson. This series
provides a platform for an
in-depth, comprehensive examination into
some of the key factors that seem
to be influencing young people as they enter
into and progress through the
third decade of life and the multiple ways
in which they may flourish or
flounder. The guidelines for author
submissions can be found
here. In
addition, Dr. Nelson (larry_nelson@byu.edu)
is happy to discuss possible
book ideas prior to the proposal being
formally submitted and to provide
additional details about the series and/or
submission process. You can find
more information about this series
here.
SSEA
JOINS ADOLESCENT AND YOUNG ADULT NATIONAL RESOURCE CENTER NETWORK
SSEA has been invited to participate in a proposed
Adolescent and Young Adult National Resource Center Network,
which will focus on the mental and physical health needs of
adolescents and emergent adults. Seth Schwartz, SSEA
President-elect, will serve on the National Advisory Board
for this network.
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM
EMERGING ADULTHOOD
We have several exciting announcements to
share regarding the
Emerging Adulthood Journal. First, two
Assistant Editors have recently
joined the editorial team: Theo Klimstra
(Tilburg University, The
Netherlands) and Marla Reese-Weber (Illinois
State University, USA).
Second, Emerging Adulthood has been
accepted for indexing in Scopus and
PsycINFO. Third, Emerging Adulthood
is now also accepting brief reports.
Brief reports include preliminary findings,
replications (or failure of
replication) of previous empirical findings
in the literature, or empirical
findings that are not substantial enough to
warrant a full report. Brief
reports are also well suited for findings
that warrant timely
dissemination: Emerging Adulthood
aims to turn brief reports around
within 2-3 weeks of submission. Although
shorter than original manuscripts,
brief reports should still make a
significant contribution to current
knowledge on development and adaptation from
age 18 to 29. Brief reports
should be limited to 1500 words (main text)
and a maximum of 15 references.

Finally, we would like to share Emerging
Adulthood’s impressive numbers
regarding website visits in 2014. During
2014, EA’s website had 28, 282
unique visitors (about 2,357 per month).
There were 30,736 total downloads,
which is about 2,561 per month.

SSEA TOPIC NETWORKS
The goal of the Topic
Networks is to bring together SSEA members
who have common interests in a specific area
of emerging adulthood research or practice.
The activities of the Topic Networks will
depend on the ideas of the members, but may
include, for example, sharing draft
manuscripts for comments and suggestions;
collaborating on papers and grants; sharing
best practices for direct work with emerging
adults; letting members know about important
recent articles; collaborating on symposia
to submit to an SSEA conference; or working
together to organize a preconference
session.
For a listing of the Topic Networks, please
click
here. If you would like to join any of
the Topic Networks, please contact the SSEA
Coordinator, Lisa Gaudette,
coordinator@ssea.org. You may join as
many as you like. We also welcome your ideas
for more Topic Networks. Please note that
YOU MUST BE AN SSEA MEMBER
to join a Topic Network.
