Seventy-two Israeli emerging adults were interviewed for descriptions of themselves and accounts of their personal, social, and professional dreams, current life status, romantic relationships, and relationships with their parents. Interviews were transcribed and rated on scales assessing self-processes, attainment of professional and romantic tasks, and relationships with parents. Cluster analysis revealed three distinctive types of emerging adults: low integrated self and competence; competence combined with an integrated and authentic self; and acting competent combined with low self-authenticity. Distinctive patterns of relationships with parents were found among the three cluster members. The distinction among the three clusters is discussed within the framework of developmental processes of emerging adulthood.

Key Words: emerging adulthood • self-process • developmental tasks • parent-child relationships
