O período que compreende a passagem da adolescência para a idade adulta parece ter características únicas e distintas que o poderão diferenciar das restantes etapas do desenvolvimento humano, neste sentido, através deste trabalho procurou conhecer-se as vivências e expectativas do “Adulto Emergente”, tendo como base a teoria de Jeffrey Arnett.A presente investigação consiste num estudo exploratório, com recurso a uma metodologia qualitativa. O estudo foi desenvolvido a partir de uma amostra constituída por 58 sujeitos, com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e 29 anos, aos quais foi aplicada uma entrevista composta por quatro secções onde se incluem questões sociodemográficas, assim como do âmbito amoroso, profissional e ainda sobre aspetos relacionados com a idade adulta. Adicionalmente, foi usado o Inventory of the Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood (IDEA) (Reifman, A., Arnett, J. J., & Colwell, M. J., 2007), com o objetivo de complementar a informação obtida através da entrevista, nas dimensões consideradas.Os resultados obtidos permitiram concluir que, apesar de os elementos da amostra se demonstrarem altamente qualificados ao nível académico e a maioria com experiência profissional, tal não resulta na sua total independência, designadamente ao nível económico e habitacional. Verificou-se também, que a maior parte dos elementos da amostra se considera adulto, contudo aqueles que não se sentem como tal, indicam como principais condições para o atingir, a estabilidade/independência financeira, bem como a maturidade.
The period that includes the transition from adolescence to adulthood seems to have unique and distinct characteristics that may differentiate it from the other stages of human development, in this sense, through this work, we sought to know the experiences and expectations of the "Emerging Adult", based on Jeffrey Arnett's theory.The present investigation consists of an exploratory study, using a qualitative methodology. The study was developed from a sample consisting of 58 subjects, aged between 19 and 29 years old, to whom an interview composed by four sections was applied, wich included sociodemographic questions, as well as within the scope of love, as well as professional aspects and also on characteristics related to adulthood. Additionally, the Inventory of the Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood (IDEA) (Reifman, A., Arnett, J. J., & Colwell, M. J., 2007) was used, in order to complement the information that was obtained through the interview, in the considered dimensions.The results obtained allowed us to conclude that, although the sample elements prove to be highly qualified at the academic level and the majority with professional experience, this does not result in their total independence, namely at the economic and housing level. It was also found that most elements of the sample consider themselves to be adults, however those who do not feel themselves as such, indicate as the main conditions to achieve it, financial stability / independence, as well as maturity.
