The association between young adolescents' psychological profiles and their subsequent adjustment was examined in a sample of 606 adolescents (ages 12-13) drawn from the mother-child data set of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Cluster analysis was used to identify distinct groups of youth based on self-regulation, proneness to risk, self-worth, and perceived academic competence. Five replicable clusters were identified corresponding to optimal, average, behavioral risk, low self-regulation, and emotional risk groups. These clusters were associated with distinct patterns of adjustment 4 years later. At ages 16-17, youth in the optimal group tended to report better academic performance, less problem behavior, and less depression than youth in the three risk groups; however, their functioning did not differ significantly from youth in the average group. The three risk groups differed in self-reported depression symptoms and academic performance but not in levels of problem behavior. Differences among the five groups persisted when demographic and contextual variables were controlled. These results support the existence of different groups of youth who follow distinct developmental trajectories and may experience different patterns of adjustment.

2.	Longitudinal Predictors of Binge Drinking in Middle Adolescence Presented: New Orleans, LA, Meeting of the Society for Research on Adolescence, April 2002 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Society for Research on Adolescence (SRA) Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Alcohol Use; Parent Supervision/Monitoring; Peers/Peer influence/Peer relations; Risk-Taking Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In this study, the individual-, family- and peer-level early adolescence predictors of binge drinking in middle adolescence were examined across four years. It was hypothesized that group differences would be evident on several factors between non-drinkers, drinking non-bingers, and binge drinkers. Multivariate analyses revealed significant differences between two of the three groups. Linear discriminant function analysis determined that non-drinking adolescents differed more from both types of drinking adolescents than the two groups of drinking adolescents differed from each other. Both bingeing and non-bingeing groups were associated with early tobacco use, greater risk tolerance, greater peer pressure, maternal binge history, and more decision-making responsibility in early adolescence.

3.	Predictors of Alcohol Use Are Different for Youth Attending and Not Attending College Presented: Baltimore, MD, Society for Research on Adolescence Biennial Meeting, March 2004. Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Society for Research on Adolescence (SRA) Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Behavioral Problems; College Education; Risk-Taking Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Background & Study Goals Much of what is known about alcohol use in late adolescence has come from studies with college student samples. As a result, less is known about alcohol use by youth who do not attend college. In order to address this gap, this study addresses two questions: 1 – Are there differences between college and non-college youth in frequency, quantity and age of initiation of drinking? 2 – Are the same psychological characteristics associated with frequency and quantity of alcohol use in college and non-college youth? Method Data for this poster came from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). A cohort of 619 youth ages 19-25 at the 2002 wave of data collection and their mothers were selected for analyses (see Table 1 for sample characteristics). Based on theory and prior research, several youth and maternal factors believed to be associated with alcohol use were selected from several waves of the NLSY (see Table 2). Youth were classified as "college students" (ever having attended college) or "non-students" (never having attended college) based on their replies to several questions in the young adult survey (1998, 2000 and 2002 waves).

As part of the Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1979 (CNLSY-79), 740 adolescents provided data at two-year intervals between 1994 and 2004. Latent growth models revealed quadratic growth in youths' sexual risk taking. High initial levels of risk were attributable to early adolescent family structure, the expectation of teenage parenthood, early autonomy from parents, young age at dating initiation, and delinquency. Linear and quadratic growth terms were explained by early adolescent family structure, perceived academic competence, substance use, and delinquency. These associations persisted when time-varying covariates of other contraceptive use and relationship status were modeled.

Group-based trajectory modeling of a composite index of sexual risk taking revealed four sexual risk groups from ages 16 to 22: low risk, decreasing risk, increasing risk, and high risk. The Low Risk group exhibited low levels of risk across the study period. The Decreasing Risk group had high levels of sexual risk in adolescence that declined in early adulthood. The Increasing Risk and High Risk groups showed distinct risk patterns during adolescence but converged in early adulthood. When compared with adolescents in the low-risk group, individuals in the other groups were more likely to be male, had mothers who had an early birth, were less likely to live with both biological parents in early adolescence, had higher risk proneness, and reported more negative peer pressure.

We investigated how family characteristics and experiences during early adolescence predicted timing of sexual initiation. In addition, we investigated adolescent sex and race/ethnicity as potential moderating factors. As part of the Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1979 (CNLSY-79), 799 adolescents aged 12 to 15 years provided data at 2-year intervals between 1994 and 2010 (51.7% male; 24.5% Hispanic, 36.5% African American, 38.9% European American); their mothers also provided data in 1986 and 1994. Analyses indicated that early sexual initiation was primarily attributable to male sex, Black race, early maternal childbearing, father absence, and adolescents’ autonomous decision making during early adolescence. Multigroup path models suggested that few effects were moderated by sex or race/ethnicity. We discuss implications of these findings for future research and prevention/intervention efforts.

7.	Effects of Maternal Parenting and Mother-Child Relationship Quality on Short-Term Longitudinal Change in Self-Regulation in Early Adolescence Journal of Early Adolescence 37,5 (May 2017): 618-641. Also: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0272431615617293 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Parenting Skills/Styles; Self-Control/Self-Regulation Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The purpose of the present study was to explore the degree to which short-term longitudinal change in adolescent self-regulation was attributable to maternal parenting and mother-child relationship quality. A total of 821 mother-adolescent dyads provided data in the 1992 and 1994 waves of the Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1979 (52.5% male; 24.2% Hispanic, 36.7% African American, 39.1% European American; adolescent' initial age range = 10-12 years). Consistent with hypotheses, longitudinal improvements in young adolescents' self-regulation were associated with high levels of mother-child relationship quality and low levels of maternal discipline. The association between self-regulation in 1992 and 1994 was moderated by child sex and maternal discipline. Thus, this study provides further evidence favoring the exploration of the parent-child relational context in addition to discrete parenting behaviors in studies on self-regulation during the early adolescent years.

Mastery, or the feeling of power or control over one’s life, is a vital yet understudied covariate of wellbeing in adolescence and adulthood. The goal of the current study was to explore the effects of demographic characteristics (i.e., sex, age, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status (SES)), maternal mastery, and supportive-involved mothering on children’s mastery at ages 16–17 years. 855 teens (47.6% female) and their mothers provided study data as part of the 1992 and 1998 waves of National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1979 (NLSY-79; 24.1% Hispanic, 36.6% Black). Hybrid path models indicated that only maternal parenting during middle childhood was linked directly to levels of children’s mastery in middle adolescence; a small portion of the association between parenting and adolescent mastery was attributable to SES. The discussion centers on significance of these findings for future research and theory development.

9.	Predicting Middle School Students' Academic Self-Esteem: Family- and School-Level Antecedents Presented: Washington DC, American Educational Research Association (AERA) Annual Meeting, April 2016 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: American Educational Research Association Keyword(s): Parenting Skills/Styles; Racial Differences; School Performance; Self-Esteem Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Middle school students' perception of their academic competence is important to their academic achievement. Studies have investigated academic self-esteem in relation to demographics, parenting, and school connectedness; yet few studies have included all these factors in one model. Study data were drawn from the Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (CNLSY-79, N=855). Prior academic self-esteem was most predictive of current academic self-esteem, followed by low levels of school disconnectedness, high levels of cognitively stimulating parenting and black race. Notably, feeling disconnected from school had more weight than parenting, familial SES, and race. Thus, efforts to foster students' connectedness to the school setting may compensate for contextual risk factors that may impede academic success.
