This study examines the links between family and identity processes of Italian emerging adults living with their parents. Examining the impact of family is important in the countries of Mediterranean area where also emerging adults live with parents for a prolonged time. In Italy living with parents is associated with a specific "delay syndrome" in the transition to adulthood. Participants consisted of 20 Italian emerging adults attending second and last years of university, in a large Italian city (Naples). All participants were subjected to an open interview, based on the thematic life story. Our findings indicate that parents are perceived as active agents of identity, responsive and supportive of autonomy; they encourage the active involvement of young people in the work of identity formation. Despite this, parental impact produces different configurations that could shed light on the pathways of Italian emerging adults' transition to adulthood. The above configurations are discussed using exemplars.
本研究考察了与父母同住的意大利新兴成年人的家庭与身份认同过程之间的联系。在地中海地区的国家，新兴成年人也会与父母长时间同住，因此研究家庭的影响很重要。在意大利，与父母同住与成年过渡过程中的一种特定“延迟综合征”有关。研究对象包括20名在意大利大城市（那不勒斯）上大学二年级和最后一年的意大利新兴成年人。所有参与者都接受了基于主题生活故事的开放式访谈。我们的研究结果表明，父母被视为身份认同的积极推动者，对自主性有回应且给予支持；他们鼓励年轻人积极参与身份形成的过程。尽管如此，父母的影响产生了不同的模式，这些模式可以揭示意大利新兴成年人成年过渡的途径。将使用实例对上述模式进行讨论。
