Becoming an Adult in America: What Does It Mean and How It Has Changed in the Past 20 Years? Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Sociology, Brown University, 2011. Also: https://repository.library.brown.edu/studio/item/bdr:11162/ Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Brown University Keyword(s): Depression (see also CESD); Life Course; Modeling, Latent Class Analysis/Latent Transition Analysis; Transition, Adulthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using a life course perspective, I examine changes that occurred in the past two decades in the process of becoming an adult by comparing two cohorts of U.S. adolescents, one born in the 1960s and the other born in the early 1980s. The study uses data from the 1979 and 1997 National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth. I use hierarchical latent class models that examine pathways to adulthood for the two cohorts in a holistic fashion, taking into account the relationships between various roles teenagers and young adults occupy simultaneously, as well as how they unfold over the life course. |
