Early Adulthood Video Transcript
Here we are in early adulthood. This is the period of life when we are in our 20s and 30s.First, a look at physical development. If you are in your early 20s, you are enjoying your physiological peak. You may have more energy, endurance, and reproductive ability than at any other time in your life.

Module 2: Physical Development

Objective: Students will be able to describe physical development in early adulthood.and how early adulthood is a healthy, yet risky time of life.

Physical Development
The Physiological Peak: People in their twenties and thirties are considered young adults. If you are in your early twenties, good news-you are probably at the peak of your physiological development. Your reproductive system, motor ability, strength, and lung capacity are operating at their best.

Module 3: Cognitive Development

Objectives: 1) Students will be able to distinguish between formal and postformal thought, and 2) Students will be able to explain dialectical thought.

Cognitive Development
In our last lesson, we discussed formal operational thought. The hallmark of this type of thinking is the ability to think abstractly or to consider possibilities and ideas about circumstances never directly experienced. Thinking abstractly is only one characteristic of adult thought.

Module 4: Psychosocial Development

Objectives: 1) Students will be able to describe Erikson's stage of intimacy versus isolation and question Erikson's assertion about the focus on intimacy in early adulthood, 2) Students will be able to identify trends in mae select, age at first marriage, and cohabitation in the United States, 3) Students will explain social exchange theory of mate selection, and 4) Students will be able to compare frames of relationships.

Psychosocial Development
Many of the developmental tasks of early adulthood involve becoming part of the adult world and gaining independence. Young adults sometimes complain that they are not treated with respect-especially if they are put in positions of authority over older workers.

Module 5: Types of Love

Objective: Students will be able to distinguish between types of love.

Types of Love
Sternberg (1988) suggests that there are three main components of love: passion, intimacy, and commitment. Love relationships vary depending on the presence or absence of each of these components.

Module 6: Love Attitude Scale

Objective: Students will be able to measure love based upon the love attitude scale.

Love Attitude Scale
So what is your love style? Your authors discussed several types of love in the text, including John Lee’s six love types. The Love Attitude Scale, created by Clyde Hendrick and Susan Hendrick, measures your attitudes about each of the styles.

Module 7: Work and Personality

Objective: Students will be able to discuss how personality affects work roles in early adulthood.

Work and Personality
