The EAMMi2: Accessing Secondary Data for Research and Teaching Emerging Adulthood_

Fri, October 5, 4:45 to 6:15pm, Doubletree Hilton, Room: Fiesta II and III

Abstract

This presentation will share the details of the EAMMI series - Emerging Adulthood Measured at Multiple Institutions. EAMMI was designed to evaluate how emerging adults felt politically during the 2004 U.S. election season and included additional psychological measures submitted by contributors. This project received valid responses from 1353 participants across 10 institutions. Reifman and Grahe (2016) introduced the EAMMI in a special issue of Emerging Adulthood with nine empirical papers focused on outcomes such as: disability identity (Chalk, 2016; Nario-Redmond & Oleson, 2016), interinstitutional variation in emerging adulthood (Fosse & Toyokawa, 2016), identity development and politics (Walker & Iverson, 2016), well-being (Sharon, 2016), and risk and resilience (Barlett & Barlett, 2016). We designed the EAMMi2 to be a partial replication and extension of the EAMMI 12 years after original data collection. The cleaned data set includes responses from over 3,100 participants recruited from 32 contributors across 21 states and 3 regions outside the U.S. EAMMi2 was one of the first developmental surveys to employ research transparency from the beginning using the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/te54b/), making our materials and data public. Additionally, contributors were encouraged to preregister hypotheses using the COS Preregistration Challenge protocol. Six manuscripts are currently under review with more planned. Leaders Caitlin Faas and Jon Grahe will describe how participants can use these projects for their own research. Further, participants will learn about Open Science tools to achieve greater research transparency. Participants will leave with the capacity to develop and collaborate on their own projects.
