I'd say understanding others, and seeing where they come from, helps a lot in being more mature in dealing with people in general.
So, attempting to not immediately judge and instead asking yourself why that person might be acting in this way and not accepting a first "he's just a jerk" as the answer may help you develop more depth and understanding, and as an end result, more emotional maturity.
It's not about age at all. It is about understanding and caring (without letting it overwhelm you in the process).
