Adulthood has many aspects that you can look at, but I chose to look at the approach from a social perspective entering adulthood. There were times when I looked to feel wanted or accepted in social environments becoming an adult. The article opens with an example of a young woman going to class in college for the first time. Like the young woman, when being exposed to a new environment I look forward to meeting new people. There were social rejections I dealt with when I moved from one state to another during my teen years after high school. Not only did I have to adjust to another social environment, I looked forward to being accepted. The article spoke of me when it said “….approach motivation in social situations might be primarily associated with self-confident and relaxed behavior.” The article is encouraging with what I know about myself and informative on preparing my children for the changes they will face from adolescence to adulthood. The information will help with life directions taken when my children are faced with social problems and the way they deal with them transitioning into adulthood. I transitioned well at my age changing social environments, and I hope to inspire my young to do so as well. One thing I will let them know is that the way you were perceived in high school, you can’t look to continue with that perception leaving that social environment. This article will also help prepare you with avoidance measures that may arise depending on how you are socially growing up. If I had to write a research paper on this topic I would use this article for a source of information. The references used in this article would also be great sources; I would want to use them to get better views and understanding on my own to add further detail. The article opened my eyes to other ways of what people experience going into adulthood. Those ways would be better explained from someone who dealt with those social issues or further research.
