The Self in Early Adulthood
Captions available
The idea
The self is the totality of one's characteristics and how one relates to others; early adulthood's tasks include leaving home, working, partnering and parenting.
In practice
A twenty-six-year-old who has a job and a partner but still sees herself as figuring things out.
Where people slip
The self is broader than personality or identity, taking in how one represents oneself to others.
