About this study

This study examines the level of differentiation of young adults (18-22yrs). The theory of differentiation is related to the ability to regulate anxiety, maintain a solid sense of self, and direct one's own life while resisting familial pressure to conform. Identifying elements of differentiation that differ in adults and young adults will aid in the development of targeted therapeutic interventions and will help delineate the arc of differentiation development across the lifespan.
