About the Author

Jeffrey Jensen Arnett is a Research Professor in the Department of Psychology at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. He received his Ph.D. in developmental psychology in 1986 from the University of Virginia, and did three years of postdoctoral work at the University of Chicago. From 1992-1998 he was Associate Professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at the University of Missouri where he taught a 300-student lifespan development course every semester. From 1998-2005 he was a Visiting Associate Professor in the Department of Human Development at the University of Maryland. In the fall of 2005 he was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

His primary scholarly interest for the past 10 years has been in emerging adulthood. He coined the term, and has conducted research on emerging adults concerning a wide variety of topics, including risk behavior (especially cigarette smoking) and media use (especially music), involving several different ethnic groups in American society. He is the editor of the Journal of Adolescent Research, and is on the Editorial Board of four other journals. He was Editor-In-Chief for two encyclopedias published in 2007, the International Encyclopedia of Adolescence (Routledge, two volumes) and the Encyclopedia of Children, Adolescents, and the Media (Sage, two volumes). He has published many theoretical and research papers on emerging adulthood in peer-reviewed journals, as well as the books Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood: A Cultural Approach (2010, 4th edition, Pearson); Emerging Adulthood: The Winding Road from the Late Teens Through the Twenties (2004, Oxford University Press); and Metalheads: Heavy Metal Music and Adolescent Alienation (1996, Westview Press). He has also edited (with Jennifer Tanner) the book Emerging Adults in America: Coming of Age in the 21st Century, published in 2006 by APA Books.

He lives in Worcester, Massachusetts with his wife Lene Jensen and their nine-year-old twins, Miles and Paris. For more information on Dr. Arnett and his research, see www.jeffreyarnett.com.

I understand that this is a used rental, so it should have some wear and tear. However this book is peeling apart on all the corners. I better not get charged for the damage done by prior readers.

    I read this book from cover to cover. It was concise, well-written, interesting, and even funny at times. Arnett is clearly an expert in his field and an excellent writer as well! I learned a lot from the book, and I especially enjoyed reading about developmental stages in other cultures.

    Arnett wrote this whole textbook and included pictures of his own children throughout. The book ventures into different theories of human development, and splits up life into different developmental stages. It starts with conception and ends with the afterlife. I loved the chapter on emerging adulthood (ages 18-25). It is written for Millenials, those who are currently in between high school and a career, but still don't feel like adults.

    Book is exactly what it is - and a good text!, BUT! highlighter bleeds through the pages, even if you try you very hardest not to leave the pen down on the page too long. Unfortunately, this is a required textbook, and there's nothing you can do about it. :(

    3.0 out of 5 stars Wrong Publication Date
    Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    It was a good price for a used book, the text was cheap so I jumped. Not realizing that the date they have listed as it's publication date isn't correct. The book itself says it was published in 2016, but for some reason Amazon says 2020. For those of us that are asked to use only sources published in the last 5 years this can be a real issue. I just rented the newer, 3d edition which was released in 2018 I believe. I will guess that like most texts that have updated edition published within 5 years it won't be much different so I'll use this until it arrives. I have to admit it was real beat up (not a big deal) and I enjoy other peoples notes.
