Clinical Psychology Educational Psychology self-management executive functioning emerging adulthood academic occupational mental health organization time management motivation Emerging adulthood is increasingly being recognized as a distinct period of human development. This phase of life presents unique challenges, foremost among them is the need to self-manage and function independently in academic and career roles. And, with increasing independence and responsibility comes increased risk. This risk is uniquely great among individuals with emotional and behavioral problems, a group with increased rates of negative outcomes in education, employment, health, and delinquency in young adulthood. In response to these challenges, a handful of transition treatment programs have been developed for emerging adults with mental health problems; however, there is little to no research examining program efficacy or even exploring empirical foundations for the components included in these programs. The purpose of the current study was to explore a set of self-management variables (organization, time management, and motivation) as potentially malleable constructs that may relate to functional outcomes for a sample of emerging adults with a wide range of mental health disorders. Rating scales and ecologically valid assessments of self-management and functioning were collected from a sample of 60 patients with histories of diverse mental health diagnoses in a partial hospitalization setting. Regression analyses indicated that many self-management deficits and coping skills are related to outcomes across academic, job, and overall functioning. Time management skills demonstrated a uniquely strong association with academic functioning, whereas motivation-related deficits and behaviors were most important to job functioning. Finally, self-organization problems were also associated with job impairment and uniquely linked to overall life impairment. These findings help provide empirical support for targeting organization, time management, and motivation enhancement in transition programs developed specifically for emerging adults with mental health problems. 2018-10-01 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1530567272918876 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1530567272918876 restricted--full text unavailable until 2023-09-01 This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
