Variations in patterns of developmental transmissions in the emerging adulthood period.
Abstract
The assumption of adult roles has largely been examined as status changes in school attendance, leaving the parental home, and marriage. Nevertheless, levels of autonomy and individuation vary considerably within these states. This study obtained such information through narrative behavioral descriptions within financial, residential, romantic, and family formation domains covering ages 17 to 27 years. Analyses of data from 240 members of a community-based longitudinal study investigated the association of trajectories in these domains with family socioeconomic status, parental divorce, gender, and race. Findings indicated that subgroup differences were not generally attributable to educational enrollment. Both within and between domains, many individuals showed dramatic changes in the assumption of adult roles, returning to more dependent, other-determined roles for short or even extended periods.

The increased reward or sensation seeking in adolescence would be a product of earlier maturation of the socioemotional brain system than of the cognitive control system, with the result that under emotional arousal the former exceeds the regulatory capacity of the latter, which is still relatively immature.
“Ello sería producto de la maduración más temprana del sistema cerebral socioemocional que del sistema de control cognitivo, con el resultado de que, en condiciones de excitación emocional, el primero sobrepasa la capacidad regulatoria del segundo (todavía relativamente inmaduro).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
