Pathways to Adulthood and Marriage: Teenagers’ Attitudes, Expectations, and Relationship Patterns MPR Reference No 6306-005, Report Submitted by Mathematica Policy Research, Inc, Princeton, NJ, October 2008. Also: http://aspe.hhs.gov/hsp/08/pathways2adulthood/report.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); Teenagers; Transition, Adulthood; Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) In this report, we examine some of the potential precursors of these changes in adult marriage patterns. We use data from four large national surveys to examine the experiences and attitudes of teenagers, in order to gain a better understanding of factors that may influence their views of marriage and their relationship choices in adulthood. We focus on teenagers’ initial exposure to and experiences with romantic relationships and marriage, as well as their general attitudes toward marriage. We also examine marriage and relationship patterns among a recent cohort of young adults and identify factors in adolescence associated with the likelihood of choosing various relationship pathways in early adulthood. |
