Interesting question. Its when you do things differently than you did when you were an adolescent. When you take responsibility for your actions, and when you realize you're acting childish and doing petty things. Mature adults stay away from childish behavior.

The first issue is in the judgment itself. Judging the self is an uncomfortable state to experience. It seems that we tend to judge ourselves negatively more often than positively.
The second issue is that of the meaning. Determining necessary analysis as adult and unnecessary analysis as childish is more to the point.
Analysis is not an adult behaviour rather it is a neurotic one. Analyzing ourselves or each other accomplishes somethings and avoids others.
Analyzing a situation is usually out of a situation or behaviour that doesn't feel good for us. We tend not to analyze actions that make us feel good.
When you have a good time with someone do you analyze their motives or intentions? Do you analyze a situation that provided your with happiness, fun or pleasure?

Acting reasonably, admitting mistakes and taking resposibility for them. You can analyze till you paralyze. One path I've tried to follow is: change what you can, accept what you can't change, just be smart enough to know the difference. That would be my idea of an adult. Of course growing up is always optional.

The only significant difference between adults and children is that adults can eat sweets whenever they like.
