成人角色的假设在很大程度上是随着入学率、离开父母家和婚姻等方面的地位变化而得到检验的。然而，这些州的自主权和个性化水平差异很大。本研究通过对17 - 27岁人群在财务、居住、恋爱和家庭结构等方面的叙述性行为描述，获得了这些信息。对来自240名社区纵向研究成员的数据进行了分析，调查了这些领域的轨迹与家庭社会经济地位、父母离婚、性别和种族的关系。研究结果表明，亚组差异并不普遍归因于教育入学率。无论是在领域内还是在领域之间，许多人在成人角色的假设上都表现出巨大的变化，在短期甚至较长时间内回归到更加依赖他人、由他人决定的角色。
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.
