Annotation	The Monograph Journeys to Adulthood: Psychological and Social Characteristics of Today's Twenties presents a look at various forms of transition from adolescence to adulthood of the current young generation in the Czech Republic. The book updates current knowledge of how today's young people become adults and how they experience this process. In addition to describing the development of independence and identity in this period, the monograph focuses on mapping the issues of young people's relationships with parents, the area of partnership, as well as studies and professional careers. Through the presentation of the results of the five-year longitudinal study - Journeys to Adulthood: Longitudinal Research into Developmental Trajectories and Predictors of Autonomy and Identity (GAP407 / 12/0854) the monograph provides information on how young people feel at a time that is characterized by a high degree of freedom for their own life choices and which provides a large number of ways to reach adulthood.
