This exploratory study examined what were the developmental tasks of early adulthood, which relationships were there between the achievement of developmental tasks and the subjective importance for each task and when was the beginning time of early adulthood with 2,583(man: 1,247, women: 1,336) participants from 18 to 39 years. Analysis revealed that seven developmental tasks were selected for early adulthood among 15 developmental tasks including 8 ons of Havighurst(1952). Although females reported a higher achieved status in six tasks, they reported a lower subjective importance in five tasks than men. As a whole the achievers of developmental tasks reported higher subjective importance at those tasks. Also 30 years for men and 28 years for women were speculated as the beginning time of early adulthood.
