Project Description

Summary: This study extended Keyes (2006) examination of positive mental health among U.S. adolescents to describe the prevalence of flourishing mental health among these same individuals as young adults ages 20 to 28. Our sample included 1,090 individuals from the 2011 Panel Study of Income Dynamics Transition into Adulthood Supplement. Univariate and bivariate tests were used to describe the prevalence of flourishing during young adulthood and changes from adolescence to young adulthood. A multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the relationships among indicators of healthy development and flourishing. Results suggest that positive mental health may improve during the transition into young adulthood and that targeting malleable factors such as civic engagement that contribute to healthy development may also enhance flourishing.
