- NEETs (Neither employed nor in education/training) are often influenced by negative economic conditions, with nearly 17% of 16 to 29-year-olds in the U.S. falling into this category in 2015
- Sexism influences career choices, advancement, educational opportunities, and views of behavior, with women earning 78 cents for every dollar a man earns
- The Big Five personality traits include openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism, with specific behaviors predicted by each trait
- Personality changes in adulthood involve a decrease in neuroticism and openness with age, while conscientiousness increases, and life events can produce their own changes

- Attachment in young adulthood is characterized by secure, avoidant, and anxious/ambivalent types, influenced by early attachments and associated with lower satisfaction and more conflict
