Abstract

This study was conducted to shed light on quarter-life crisis as a growing phenomenon in society, specifically by determining its prevalence among emerging adults and examining how uncertainty, dissatisfaction, and indecisiveness predict its occurrence. To carry out this study, a quantitative approach with a correlational predictive design was employed. 219 emerging adults from the College of International Tourism and Hospitality Management (CITHM) of Lyceum-Northwestern University were randomly surveyed. The data collected from them were subsequently analyzed using various statistical tools, one of which is multiple regression analysis. Results revealed that the quarter-life crisis is not highly prevalent and that the emerging adults in the sample have moderate level of uncertainty, dissatisfaction, and indecisiveness. Nonetheless, results derived from the multiple regression analysis showed that uncertainty, dissatisfaction, and indecisiveness have a strong capacity to significantly predict the occurrence or manifestation of the quarter-life crisis. This study helps extend the literature on the quarter-life crisis and raise society’s awareness of it.
