| Sumario: | Through the concept of emerging adulthood, Arnett analyzes the prolonged transition from adolescence to adulthood in modern societies. Between the ages of 18 and 30, many young people exhibit traits of adulthood but are still working on achieving developmental tasks such as forming a stable identity, psychological autonomy, and financial independence. Although the concept of emerging adulthood has existed since 1998, there is no data on the validation of the instrument in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so this study aimed to preliminary validate Arnett's Inventory of the Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood - IDEA on a sample of youth from Bosnia and Herzegovina. It involved 182 students aged 18 to 29, predominantly female (76.25%). The scale's structure was examined through exploratory factor analysis using principal axis factoring. Although the original structure was not successfully replicated, four interpretable factors emerged. First factor, identity exploration, relates to the perception of key developmental tasks, particularly building personal identity and value systems. Second factor, age of instability, encompasses perceptions of negative aspects of this period, such as doubts about decisions, instability and insecurity. Third factor, age of opportunity, reflects positive aspects, including the potential for autonomy and intimate relationships. Fourth factor, age of responsibility, refers to the the qualities a young persons develops near the end of this life period, primarily a sense of dedication towards significant others and personal choices. As many studies indicate the vulnerability of the presented developmental period and identity as a resource of resilience, the research also includes variables - life satisfaction and stress symptoms. Life satisfaction negatively correlates with the second factor and positively with the third, while stress symptoms show an opposite pattern. The results indicate an ambivalent perception of emerging adulthood as a time of significant challenges and risks, alongside opportunities for growth and development. Koncept „izranjajuće odraslosti" (eng. emerging adulthood, Arnet) odnosi se na fenomen produžene tranzicije od adolescencije ka (Eriksonovom) ranom odraslom dobu u subpopulaciji mladih uključenih u produženo školovanje u savremenim okolnostima. Tradicionalne psihološke periodizacije bazirane na usvajanju psihosocijalnih zadataka ne mogu adekvatno da obuhvate ovu subpopulaciju jer su ostvareni neki psihosocijalni zadaci ranog odraslog doba, ali i dalje je u toku proces ostvarenja razvojnih zadataka kao što su formiranje identiteta, uspostavljanje autonomije i finansijske nezavisnosti, kao bitnih odrednica mentalnog zdravlja. Cilj istraživanja je validacija Arnetovog Inventara dimenzija „izranjajuće odraslosti" (Inventory of the Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood – IDEA) na uzorku studenata u Bosni i Hercegovini (N=182 studenta, uzrasta 18–29 godina, ženski pol čini 76.25%). Struktura skale ispitana je eksplorativnom faktorskom analizom, metodom glavnih osa. Iako originalna struktura instrumenta nije uspješno replikovana, izdvojena su četiri interpretabilna faktora: istraživanje identiteta (percepcija razvojnih zadataka ovog perioda, izgradnja ličnog identiteta i sistema vrijednosti), doba nestabilnosti (percepcija negativnih strana perioda, sumnja u donesene odluke, nesigurnost, nestabilnosti), doba mogućnosti (percepcija pozitivnih strana ovog perioda, mogućnost ostvarenja autonomije i intimnih veza s drugima), doba odgovornosti (kvaliteti koji se postepeno grade izlaskom iz ovog perioda, posvećenost prema značajnim drugima i ličnim izborima). Kontrolne varijable vezane za status mentalnog zdravlja pokazuju da zadovoljstvo životom značajno negativno korelira s drugim, a pozitivno s trećim faktorom, dok je u slučaju simptoma stresa obrazac korelacija oprečan. Rezultati upućuju na ambivalentne podatke u ovom periodu izazova i rizika, ali i mogućnosti za dalje sazrijevanje, kao važne odrednice mentalnog zdravlja ove senzitivne subpopulacije. |
