Abstract :
This study explores the changes of perceptions with respect to two different aspects like Relationship Commitment and
Hobby Enhancement in women during their young/early adulthood phase (ages 20-39 years). Early adulthood is the phase
of life where significant changes are encountered with all aspects of life like Social, Psychological, Economical, and
physiological. In this study we explore how the level of commitments and expectations in relationship are looked up and
perceived during early adulthood Women, also we study another important aspect which is Hobby Enhancement, to
understand how Women in the 20s or 30s perceive their interest and try to involve themselves in hobbies and interests and
how it feels different in the 20s compared to in their 30s. Here we explore the conceptual framework and try to understand
the research aspects in comparison with existing studies as well as personal perceptions and peers' experience analysis over
the two aspects explored in this research study.
