项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Using data from Waves I, II, and III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (ADD Health), the proposed investigation will provide a comprehensive analysis of the family formation behavior of young men and women in the contemporary United States. In particular, we will examine cohabitation, childbearing (nonmarital and marital), and marriage up to the age of 25. The proposed study differs from most prior research on early family formation in four key respects. First, our conceptual framework brings together theories, perspectives, and methods from the fields of family demography and human development. Using theories drawn from both fields, we will analyze the influence of individual and social environmental characteristics in adolescence on cohabitation, marriage, and parenthood in emerging adulthood. In addition, because we assume that decisions about family formation are made jointly with decisions about educational attainment and employment, we will emphasize links between early career development and family formation behaviors. Second, our research will focus both on specific family formation transitions and on the trajectories generated by the timing and sequencing of family formation behaviors, education, and employment. Third, in addition to analyzing the social demographic and developmental precursors of family formation behaviors, we will study the implications of family formation patterns for psychosocial well being in emerging adulthood, including psychological and behavioral adjustment, psycho-social maturity, and intimate relationship quality. Fourth, this project pays rigorous attention to the roles of race/ethnicity and gender in the processes of early family formation and in the implications for well being of divergent family formation patterns.

描述（由申请人提供）：利用国家青少年健康纵向研究（ADD Health）第一、二、三波的数据，拟议的调查将对当代美国年轻男性和女性的家庭形成行为进行全面分析。特别是，将调查同居、生育（未婚和已婚）、25岁以下结婚等情况。这项研究在四个关键方面不同于大多数先前关于早期家庭形成的研究。首先，我们的概念框架汇集了来自家庭人口和人类发展领域的理论、观点和方法。利用这两个领域的理论，我们将分析青春期的个人和社会环境特征对成年初期同居、婚姻和为人父母的影响。此外，由于我们假设关于家庭形成的决定是与教育成就和就业的决定共同做出的，因此我们将强调早期职业发展与家庭形成行为之间的联系。其次，我们的研究将侧重于具体的家庭形成转变，以及家庭形成行为、教育和就业的时间和顺序所产生的轨迹。第三，除了分析家庭形成行为的社会人口学和发展前兆外，我们还将研究家庭形成模式对初成年期心理社会健康的影响，包括心理和行为调整、心理社会成熟度和亲密关系质量。第四，本项目严格注意种族/族裔和性别在早期家庭形成过程中的作用以及不同家庭形成模式对幸福的影响。
