In this study, two different contexts were examined to identify and describe transition-to-adulthood profiles at age 25 (based on four adulthood markers) and to determine whether these profiles differ in well-being at age 25. Two French-Canadian samples (urban sample, N = 321; remote sample, N = 363) completed questionnaires at age 25 regarding adulthood markers (having left school, being a parent or expecting a child, having left the parental home, and being in a romantic relationship) and well-being (depressive symptoms, alcohol use, and self-esteem). A person-centered approach helped determine the presence of five distinct profiles for both samples: workers, parents, independent students, singles, late bloomers. The results indicated similarities and differences between contexts regarding the experience of transition to adulthood and demonstrated that youth’s well-being is associated with their profile and their context. This study contributes to the literature on emerging adulthood by describing heterogeneity in the transition to adulthood.

在这项研究中，我们研究了两种不同的情况，以识别和描述25岁至成人的过渡状况（基于四个成人标志），并确定这些轮廓在25岁时的幸福感是否存在差异。两个法裔加拿大样本（城市样本（N = 321；远程样本，N = 363）在25岁时完成了有关成年标志（离开学校，是父母或正在怀孕的孩子，已经离开父母住的家庭，并且处于恋爱关系）的问卷，并且-存在（抑郁症状，饮酒和自尊）。以人为中心的方法有助于确定两个样本的五个不同特征：工人，父母，独立学生，单身人士，晚花者。结果表明，在向成年过渡的经历方面，背景之间存在异同，并表明青年的幸福感与他们的形象和背景有关。这项研究通过描述向成年过渡的异质性，为有关新兴成年的文献做出了贡献。
