青春期成熟时间的变化可能会导致早、中、晚成熟者的行为差异。利用全国健康体检调查的数据，我们调查了成熟时机与身体形象、学校行为和越轨行为之间的关系。在身体形象方面，早熟男孩对身高和体重最满意。早熟的女孩对体重最不满意，69%的女孩希望变瘦。据报道，早熟女孩对体重的更大不满可能不是早熟的影响，而是总体上成熟的伴随。大多数女孩在成熟后会对自己的体重感到不满，社会地位较高的女性比社会地位较低的女性更有可能想要变得更瘦。因此，女性对正常的发育过程持负面看法，而男性则持积极态度。男性早熟者更容易出现越轨行为，但女孩的研究结果并不一致。成熟的时机对教师关于缺课、适应、受欢迎程度、需要纪律或年级调整的报告没有影响。
Variation in the timing of pubertal maturation may result in behavioral differences among early, mid-, and late maturers. Using data from the National Health Examination Survey, a national probability sample of children and youth aged 12-17, we investigated the relationships between maturational timing and body image, school behavior, and deviance. In terms of body image, the early maturing boys were the group most satisfied with height and weight. The early maturing girls were most dissatisfied with weight, with 69% wishing to be thinner. This greater dissatisfaction with weight reported by early maturing girls is probably not an affect of early maturation, but a concomitant of maturation in general. The majority of girls became dissatisfied with their weight as they matured, and females from the higher social groups were more likely to want to be thinner than females from lower groups. Thus, a normal developmental process is being viewed negatively by females and positively by males. Male early maturers more often had deviant behavior, but there were no consistent findings for girls. There was no effect of maturational timing on teacher reports of school absence, adjustment, popularity, need for discipline, or grade repitition.
