Abstract: Because emerging adulthood is a culturally constructed period of life course, it is interesting to explore whether it exists in Argentina, a Catholic Latin American country of Southern European descent.

“…Rather, intangible and individualistic characteristics such as taking responsibility for one's actions, making decisions on one's own, and becoming financially independent are more often viewed in White majority cultures to be associated with the attainment of adult status. Moreover, accepting responsibility, making independent decisions, and obtaining financial independence are seen to be more important criteria for achieving adult status than are role transitions in samples of university student Mormons (Nelson, 2003); high school and university student Israelis (Mayseless & Scharf, 2003); Whites, African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans (Arnett, 2003); and emerging adults in Argentina (Facio & Micocci, 2003). Other salient psychological markers of adulthood that appear in some samples include the ability to control one's emotions, consideration for others, and the establishment of an equal relationship with parents (Arnett, 2003;Facio & Micocci, 2003;Mayseless & Scharf, 2003;Nelson, 2003;TiltonWeaver, Vitunski, & Galambos, 2001).…”

“…Tal como foi identificado por vários estudos (Andrade, 2006;Arnett, 1998;Mendonça, Andrade, & Fontaine, 2009) Destaca-se, também, o fato dos marcadores que evidenciam aspetos associados à independência financeira serem percecionados como relevantes pelos adultos emergentes, para se adquirir o estatuto de adulto. Estes resultados estão de acordo com o que foi obtido por outros estudos, noutros contextos culturais (Arnett, 2000;Greene & Wheatley, 1992;Facio & Micocci, 2003). A realidade dos adultos emergentes que participaram neste estudo, tal como a maior parte dos estudantes portugueses a frequentar o ensino superior, dependem do apoio económico dado pelos pais ou outros familiares (Andrade, 2006;Andrade, 2010;Guerreiro & Abrantes, 2007 No que diz respeito às restantes categorias, competências familiares, transições normativas e adesão às normas e parâmetros biológicas, legais e a acontecimentos sociais, como casar, por exemplo, são, de uma forma geral, percecionados como pouco relevantes na definição da idade adulta.…”

“…Com efeito, e de um modo consensual, os estudos têm identificado caraterísticas pessoais como sendo prioritárias para se ser considerado adulto, das quais se destacam ser responsável, ser capaz de tomar decisões e ser capaz de se sustentar a si próprio financeiramente (Greene & Wheatley, 1992;Facio & Micocci, 2003;Mendonça, Andrade, & Fontaine, 2009). De facto, tais estudos apontam para a importância da perceção de "auto-suficiência", do ponto de vista psicológico e instrumental, como caraterística fundamental da idade adulta (Gordon, Holland, Lahelma, & Thompson, 2005;Hendry & Kloep, 2012;Greene & Wheatley, 1992;Mendonça, Andrade, & Fontaine, 2009).…”

“…Self-responsibility also means that adults develop adult relationships and social support networks (Sroufe et al, 2005). In line with selfresponsibility, desisting from delinquency is argued to be another important part of role behaviors that define adulthood (Massoglia & Uggen, 2010), with norm compliance being an important criterion for considering someone as an adult (Arnett, 2001;Facio & Micocci, 2003;Nelson, Duan, Padilla-Walker, & Luster, 2013;Nelson et al, 2007): while delinquency occurs relatively often in adolescence (Moffitt, Caspi, Rutter, & Silva, 2001), offending becomes rarer by the late 20s (Massoglia & Uggen, 2010). Finally, becoming a parent is often defined as the final step in the transition to adulthood (Billari, 2001).…”
