The Transition from Childhood into Adulthood among PSID Children, 2013 and 2015

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将在2013年和2015年进行最后两波过渡到成年（TA）研究，这是收入动态小组研究（PSID）的一部分。PSID始于1968年，是一项对美国家庭的全国代表性样本进行的纵向调查，并在43年（截至2011年）的37波中收集了相同家庭及其后代的数据。TA研究将捕捉从童年到青春期，再到成年早期的整个发展过程，研究对象为3，653名0至12岁的PSID儿童，他们于1997年参加了第一波PSID儿童发展补充（CDS）。2002年，在这些儿童5至18岁时收集了第二波CDS，2007/08年，在这些儿童10至18岁时收集了第三波CDS。 PSID于2005年启动了过渡到成年（TA）项目，因为年龄最大的CDS参与者从高中毕业。设计了一个过渡性访谈，其中的问题将CDS和PSID的内容联系起来。到目前为止，在2005年、2007年和2009年已经完成了三波TA，第四波TA正在2011年进行。在这个项目中，我们将在2013年和2015年进行最后两波TA，以捕捉CDS队列中最年轻成员的过渡。具体目标是：第一，在2013年收集到数据收集时年满18岁的CDS青年的60分钟信息;第二，在2015年再次收集到数据收集时年满18岁的CDS青年的60分钟信息;第三，在PSID-CDS基于网络的在线数据中心档案中记录和分发这些数据，并促进CDS-TA组合档案的使用。 对于已经参加TA的CDS青年，2013年和2015年的浪潮将增加两轮关于这个关键发展时期的信息。对于2011年至2015年期间达到18岁的剩余CDS青年，我们将收集一波或两波新的数据，具体取决于他们何时年满18岁。 这些数据对于我们理解当今美国从青春期到成年期的转变至关重要。通过用技术援助数据扩充儿童发展战略中丰富的小组信息，该项目将提供一个丰富的儿童发展战略-技术援助小组，涵盖从出生和学前到小学和中学，然后进入工作世界或接受高等教育以及早期家庭形成的儿童。虽然从出生到20多岁中期的丰富面板本身就很有价值，但随着这些儿童在PSID中继续度过他们的整个生命历程，有关他们的信息将得到增加。此外，由于这些孩子是原始PSID家庭的直系后代，因此可以使用PSID在线数据中心中当前的在线工具进行代际和历史分析。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will conduct the two final waves in 2013 and 2015 of the Transition into Adulthood (TA) study that is part of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). Begun in 1968, PSID is a longitudinal survey of a nationally-representative sample of U.S. families and has collected data on the same families and their descendents for 37 waves over 43 years (as of 2011). The TA study will capture the full process of development from childhood, through adolescence, and into early adulthood for a cohort of 3,653 PSID children aged 0 to 12 years who in 1997 were enrolled in the first wave of the PSID Child Development Supplement (CDS). A second wave of CDS was collected on these same children in 2002 when they were 5 to 18 years old and a third wave was collected in 2007/08 when the children were 10 to 18 years of age. PSID launched the Transition into Adulthood (TA) project in 2005 as the oldest CDS participants graduated from high school. A transitional interview was designed with questions that bridge the content of the CDS and the PSID. Three waves of TA have been completed on this cohort to date-in 2005, 2007, and 2009-and a fourth wave is underway for 2011. In this project, we will conduct the two final waves of TA in 2013 and 2015, to capture the transition for the youngest members of the CDS cohort. The specific aims are to: First, collect 60 minutes of information in 2013 from CDS youth who have reached 18 years of age by the time of data collection; second, to collect 60 minutes of information again in 2015 from CDS youth, all of whom will have reached 18 years of age by the time of data collection; and, third, to document and distribute these data in PSID-CDS web-based Online Data Center archive and promote the use of the combined CDS-TA archive. For CDS youth already enrolled in TA, the 2013 and 2015 waves will add two additional rounds of information on this critical developmental period. For the remaining CDS youth who reach 18 years of age between 2011 and 2015, we will gather one or two new waves of data, depending on exactly when they turn 18 years of age. These data are critical for our understanding of the transition from adolescence into adulthood in the U.S. today. By augmenting the rich panel information in the CDS with the TA data, this project will provide a rich CDS-TA panel of children from birth and preschool through primary and secondary school and then through entry into the world of work or of higher education in conjunction with early family formation. Although a rich panel from birth to the mid-20s is valuable in its own right, the information on these children will be augmented as they continue in the PSID through their full life course. Moreover, because these children are the lineal descendants of the original PSID families, one can use currently on-line tools for intergenerational and historical analysis in the PSID Online Data Center.
