This volume investigates the complex intersection of sexual development, social influence, and psychological well-being during the transitional life stage of emerging adulthood. Editors Elizabeth M. Morgan and Manfred H. M. Van Dulmen compile research from various psychological and sociological perspectives to analyze how individuals aged 18 to 29 navigate sexual identity, behavior, and health. The text provides a framework for understanding how personal values, peer groups, and media consumption shape sexual trajectories during this formative period.
