Applicant's Description: Our overarching goal is to identify and intensively study long-term patterns of continuity and change in adaptive functioning and severe psychopathology in a sample of 141 early midlife adults (ages 38-43), followed intensively for the past 24 years. These adults are drawn from two original adolescent cohorts whom we first assessed at age 14: psychiatrically hospitalized (non-psychotic) and demographically matched non-patient students. We have successfully obtained detailed data regarding the psychosocial development and functioning of this sample into their young adult years. The original samples are remarkably intact: 98 percent of those still living again assessed at age 25; and in the late young adult phase, 94 percent have already been assessed. In the proposed new phase of our project, we address the frequently neglected early midlife years (ages 38-43), examining long-term predictors of continuity and discontinuity of psychosocial adaptation. We plan to measure- through a multi-method, multi-reporter approach-life course antecedents of psychopathology and successful adaptation to three major challenges of midlife: sustaining satisfying relationships with partners and peers; providing competent parenting; and, maintaining a positive career trajectory. These midlife challenges will be pursued through four specific aims: 1. Antecedents of psychopathology and global functioning through midlife; 2. predictors of the quality of midlife social relationships; 3. Parenting in midlife; 4. Work in midlife-developing career trajectories. The proposed study is a new step in this longitudinal project, focusing on continuity from adolescence through adulthood from the vantage point of adaptation in midlife-relevant social contexts. We have a unique opportunity to now investigate long-term life course development, in highly intact, high-risk and low-risk samples. Such an extraordinary chance to look, through developmental and psychiatric lenses, at life course trajectories from adolescence to midlife is facilitated by the demanding, time-intensive tracking and assessment of this sample at critical points in development over the past two decades. Our analyses of predictors of life course development in psychopathology and functioning will proceed from the simple to the complex, and will include traditional repeated measures models followed by latent growth curve modeling.

申请人的描述：我们的首要目标是确定和集中 研究适应功能的长期连续性和变化模式， 在141名中年早期成年人（年龄38-43岁）的样本中的严重精神病理学， 在过去的24年里，这些成年人来自两个 我们在14岁时首次评估的原始青少年队列：精神病学 住院（非精神病）和人口统计学匹配的非患者学生。 我们已经成功地获得了有关心理社会的详细数据， 这些样本的发育和功能进入他们年轻的成年期。的 原始样本非常完整：98%的人仍然活着 在25岁时进行评估;在年轻人后期，94%的人已经 被评估。 在我们项目的新阶段，我们解决了经常被忽视的问题。 中年早期（38-43岁），检查连续性的长期预测因素 以及心理社会适应的不连续性。我们计划通过一个 多方法，多报告者方法-生命历程的前因 精神病理学和成功适应中年的三大挑战： 与合作伙伴和同行保持满意的关系;提供 称职的父母;保持积极的职业轨迹。这些 将通过四个具体目标来应对中年挑战：1.前因 精神病理学和整体功能通过中年; 2.预测因子 中年社会关系的质量; 3.中年的父母; 4。工作 中年发展的职业轨迹 拟议的研究是这一纵向项目的一个新步骤，重点是 从青春期到成年期的连续性， 适应中年相关的社会背景。我们有独特的机会 现在研究长期生命过程的发展，在高度完整，高风险 低风险样本。如此难得的机会， 发展和精神病的镜头，在生命历程的轨迹， 从青春期到中年， 在过去的发展关键点上对这一样本进行评估 二十年我们分析了生命过程发展的预测因素， 精神病理学和功能将从简单到复杂， 并将包括传统的重复测量模型， 曲线建模
