This research focuses on the processes of identity formation during emerging adulthood (Arnett, 2000; 2004) and in particular during last year of undergraduate degree. The last year, in addition to being an advanced stage of studies, is also a first goal in the path of post-secondary education. Therefore, it can be perceived by students as an important step in the transition to adulthood, focusing a consolidation of identity (Schwartz, 2006, 2007). The present study aims to explore the impact of adjustment to university life, academic achievement and level of percepived well-being on commitment making, identification with commitment (Luyckx et al, 2007), and extent to which one believes one has reached adulthood and has found validating community (Cote, 1997).

Abstract
This research focuses on the processes of identity formation during emerging adulthood (Arnett, 2000; 2004) and in particular during last year of undergraduate degree. The last year, in addition to being an advanced stage of studies, is also a first goal in the path of post-secondary education. Therefore, it can be perceived by students as an important step in the transition to adulthood, focusing a consolidation of identity (Schwartz, 2006, 2007). The present study aims to explore the impact of adjustment to university life, academic achievement and level of percepived well-being on commitment making, identification with commitment (Luyckx et al, 2007), and extent to which one believes one has reached adulthood and has found validating community (Cote, 1997).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
