Abstract: Age and Time disparities in young adult research populations are common because young adults are defined by varying age spans; members of Generation X and Millennial generations may both be considered young adults; study years vary, affecting populations; and qualitative methods with limited age/year samples are frequently utilized. The current theoretical analysis brings population differences to the forefront by a) identifying Age and Time differences among Young Adults, Gen Xers, and Millennials, b) demonstrating associations vary by Age and Time, and c) directly comparing findings for several commonly researched measures (i.e., Race, Education, Marriage, Parenthood, Employment, Income, Computer Use, Social Trust, and Prayer). Information presented advances the perspicacious assessment of young adult studies.
