The Effects of Delayed Menarche in Different Contexts: Dance and Nondance Students.

Brooks-Gunn, J.; Warren, Michelle P.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v14 n4 p285-300 Aug 1985

The premise that effects of maturational timing are mediated by social context is explored by comparing adolescent girls in dance and nondance schools. The findings are discussed in terms of a goodness of fit between the requirements of a social context and a person's physical and behavioral characteristics. (Author/LMO)
