“…Given the challenging social and economic contexts in which Italian youth live, it is not surprising that we are noting changes in developmental pathways. For example, when compared to their Northern European peers, Italian late adolescents and emerging adults demonstrate a postponement of identity choices (Crocetti, Rabaglietti, and Sica 2012;Sica, Aleni Sestito, and Ragozini 2014). Furthermore, the image of the future as a controllable and governable time is shrinking, and as a result, 'the present looks like the only temporal dimension available for defining choices, an authentic existential horizon that, in a certain sense, includes and replaces future and past' (Leccardi 2006, 41).…”

“…Research indicates that the role of parental support decreases with age; as adolescents become older, they experience less parental support, and its importance for their emotional adjustment also declines (Meeus et al 2005). We must also consider the traditional literature on the development of autonomy in adolescence/young adulthood and the recent literature on identity diffusion in the Italian context (Sica, Aleni Sestito, and Ragozini 2014). Developmentally speaking, Italian students in their final year of high 14 L.S.…”

“…Within a university system in which all the students in this study had chosen a college major, these results suggest that only a fraction of these had committed to a career. This discrepancy between academic and career commitments speaks to the increasing lack of confidence that Italian young adults have in an educational system that presently leads to very limited work opportunities (Aleni Sestito et al, 2015;Sica et al, 2014).…”
