Abstract

The timing and sequencing of events marking the transition to adulthood have become the focus of a growing body of research. Recently, the concept of social norm has been used to provide an explanation for observed regularity in the process of transition to adulthood, and the degree of conformity to social norms governing the transition has been hypothesized to have consequences for individuals in adulthood. In this paper it is argued that the concept of social norm has limited usefulness as an explanation of behavior marking the transition to adulthood or as an explanation of its consequences. It is argued further that previous use of the concept in empirical research has been misleading because the research has not measured social norms.

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.
