Also: http://aspe.hhs.gov/hsp/08/pathways2adulthood/rb.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Keyword(s): Marriage; Monitoring the Future (MTF); National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG); Transition, Adulthood; Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) Adolescence is a crucial time for physical and emotional development and can be a pivotal period in the formation of ideas about intimacy and marriage. In this research brief, we use information from four national data sets to examine factors that may influence relationship and marriage patterns during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. We document teens’ experiences, circumstances, and attitudes associated with romantic relationships and marriage. We also examine how relationship patterns of young adults vary by their circumstances, experiences, and expectations as teens. |
