Rites of Passage in Emerging Adulthood: Perspectives of Young Mormons.
Nelson, Larry J.
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n100 p33-49 Sum 2003
Explored the role of rites of passage in emerging adulthood among Mormon college students. Found that the majority supported individualistic criteria for adulthood, but most also believed that rites of passage specific to their religion were necessary to become an adult. Determined that emerging adulthood is a distinct period of the life course for Mormons but is in a shortened and more structured form shaped by religious beliefs. (Author/KB)
