Alt#oug# #ysical c#anges are minimal during t#is stage- 'eig#t and muscle mass may c#ange as a result o! diet and e+ercise. In addition- e+tensive #ysical and syc#ological c#anges occur in regnant and lactating 'omen. Psychosocial e#elopment In contrast to t#e minimal #ysical c#anges- syc#osocial develo ment o! t#e young adult is great. Eoung adults !ace a number o! ne' e+ eriences and c#anges in li!estyle as t#ey rogress to'ard maturity. &#oices must be made about education and em loyment- about '#et#er to marry or remain single- about starting a #ome- and about rearing c#ildren. 9ocial res onsibilities include !orming !riends#i s and assuming some community activities. Occu ational c#oice and education are largely inse arable.
