In Flourishing As a Scholar, the contributors offer a comprehensive resource that is intended to benefit scholars seeking guidance for how to use diverse research methods to study emerging adulthood. Studying emerging adults (typically people between the ages of 18 and 29) presents specific challenges, therefore this book guides scholars in issues such as representative sampling and participatory inclusion of diverse emerging adults throughout the research process. This book is unique in its coverage of both quantitative and qualitative methods, and in its breadth of the entire research methods process: from philosophies of science, to the creation of research questions, sampling techniques, data collection strategies, procedures of data analysis, accurate reporting of results, drawing evidence-based conclusions, and recognition of the limitations and strengths of each methodological approach. The contributors cover the diversity of quantitative cross-sectional, quantitative longitudinal, quantitative dyadic, intensive longitudinal, in-depth qualitative, and mixed method approaches with a breadth and depth that will benefit emerging and established scholars who are interested in learning new methods that capture the diversity and complexity of the lives of emerging adults.

Financial independence and financial well-being are primary goals for many emerging adults and are often viewed as markers of adulthood. However, many emerging adults throughout the world are struggling financially due to a complex economy and a lack of financial literacy. For example, in the United States more than half of emerging adults live with their parents out of financial necessity and student loan debt has reached unprecedented levels. These financial struggles can be detrimental to emerging adults' physical and mental health and are associated with delayed marriage and parenthood.Flourishing and Floundering Financially in Emerging Adulthood describes the financial floundering that can occur in emerging adulthood and illuminates research-based pathways to financial flourishing. The book features 20 chapters written by experts on various facets of emerging adults' financial literacy, financial considerations specific to emerging adulthood (e.g., college and student loans), the ways in which sociodemographic characteristics are linked to emerging adults' financial literacy, and ways to improve emerging adults' financial literacy. Based on reviewed research, each chapter includes practical tips and suggestions for practitioners and emerging adults to improve financial well-being at this critical life stage.
