In putatively meritocratic societies, doing well in school is a pivotal precondition for accessing further and higher education, which, in turn, has a pervasive, long-term influence on adulthood development. Yet, doing well in school may also predict "real-life success" outside formal education settings and independent of the educational…

Hartert; Sean Deoni; Assiamira Ferrara; Amy J. Elliott – Developmental Psychology, 2024
A large body of research has established a relation between maternal education and children's neurocognitive functions, such as executive function and language. However, most studies have focused on early childhood and relatively few studies have examined associations with changes in maternal education over time. Consequently, it remains unclear…

Jager, Justin; Rauer, Amy; Staff, Jeremy; Lansford, Jennifer E.; Pettit, Gregory S.; Schulenberg, John E. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Existing research focused on social role destabilization (historical increases in role instability) and destandardization (historical increases in variability of role instability) has primarily focused on discrete social roles during discrete periods of development. Building on this work, we applied a macro approach to elucidate the extent to…

Perceived control is an important psychosocial resource for health and well-being across the lifespan. Global control (i.e., overall perceived control) decreases over time in studies following people every few years to upwards of 10 years. Changes across wider intervals of the lifespan, however, have yet to be examined. Further, how perceived…

Developmental science suggests that the consequences of mental health problems for life-course outcomes may depend on the timing of their onset. This study investigated the extent to which mental health predicted educational attainment at ages 17, 20, and 25 and whether gender moderated the links between mental health and educational attainment.…

Bruce, Madeleine; Miyazaki, Yasuo; Bell, Martha Ann – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Receptive vocabulary development was examined in 313 children (151 girls; 78% White) as a function of infant attention and maternal education (66% of mothers held a college degree or higher). Attention was measured at 10 months using a dynamic puppet task and receptive vocabulary was measured at 3-, 4-, 6-, and 9 years of age using the Peabody…

Ou, Suh-Ruu; Yoo, Sangok; Reynolds, Arthur J. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Educational attainment is typically examined as a static status. As adult learners have become the new trend in higher education, the changes in educational attainment in adulthood warrant more attention. Using data from the Chicago Longitudinal study (CLS), an ongoing panel investigation of 1,539 children, predictors of educational growth…

Burger, Kaspar; Mortimer, Jeylan T. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Expectations about the future direct effort in goal-oriented action and may influence a range of life course outcomes, including educational attainment. Here we investigate whether such expectations are implicated in the dynamics underlying the persistence of educational advantage across family generations, and whether such dynamics have changed…

The Long-Term Benefits of Adolescent School Engagement for Adult Educational and Employment Outcomes
Symonds, Jennifer E.; D'Urso, Giulio; Schoon, Ingrid – Developmental Psychology, 2023
School engagement in adolescence is often associated with better academic performance at school, but what are the longitudinal associations between school engagement and adult educational and employment status? The current study explored these longitudinal associations using data spanning 40-years of life, from the 1970 British Cohort Study.…

Schmitt, Sara A.; Paes, Tanya M.; Duncan, Robert J.; Vandell, Deborah Lowe – Developmental Psychology, 2023
This study examined the extent to which early cumulative risk predicts a range of behavioral and psychological outcomes (i.e., depression, future orientation, risky behavior, educational attainment, and socioeconomic outcomes) measured at ages 15 and 26 and whether executive function (EF) and/or behavioral regulation mediated and/or moderated…

Burger, Kaspar – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Accumulating evidence indicates that students' sense of school belonging has a substantial positive effect on educational attainment. At the same time, life course and life span developmental theories suggest that the benefits of a sense of school belonging could be weakened by the channeling effects of education systems that assign students to…

Stallings, Michael C.; Neppl, Tricia – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Personality variables are associated with educational attainment and socioeconomic outcomes. In this study we incorporated a polygenic score derived from the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) of educational attainment to date (Lee et al., 2018) into the Interactionist Model of R. D. Conger, Martin, and Masarik (2021) that describes the…

Pedersen, Willy; Hart, Rannveig Kaldager; Moffitt, Terrie E.; von Soest, Tilmann – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Research has suggested that adolescent delinquency abstainers might have unfavorable characteristics, impeding their access to peer networks. However, recent studies have emphasized the possible heterogeneity of abstainers. We know little about the long-term adaption of delinquency abstainers. We identify subtypes of delinquency abstainers and…

Hässler, Tabea; Glazier, Jessica J.; Olson, Kristina R. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
While considerable research has examined gender development in middle childhood, little longitudinal work has been conducted at this time to indicate whether, for example, youth who show more or less gender conformity at one point continue to do so later. The present study investigated the consistency of gender identity and preferences for…

Knapp, Kyler S.; Chimed-Ochir, Ulziimaa; Apsley, Hannah B.; Eng, Sothy; Fosco, Gregory M.; Cleveland, H. Harrington – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Adolescents are tasked with navigating competing priorities, including whether to marry, have children, pursue a job/career, go to college, and contribute to society. The developmental task of building expectations for the future is especially complex for Cambodian adolescents living within a society that strongly prioritizes family obligations…
