Experiencing puberty earlier than one's peers has been linked with behavioral and academic problems in school, particularly among girls. Previously, we reported that practicing elementary school teachers expect girls who develop early to have more academic and social problems in the future, with girls' race exacerbating these effects (Carter et…

The developmental significance of youths' racial identities during adolescence is well established. It is less clear how puberty, a normative process, influences the relationship between racial identity and adjustment outcomes during adolescence.

This study used an experimental design to examine whether the expectations of teachers…

For girls, results indicated that pubertal status and timing (actual) exerted similar effects for some…

An accumulation of research evidence suggests that early pubertal timing plays a significant role in girls' behavioral and emotional problems.

Carter, Rona; Jaccard, James; Silverman, Wendy K.; Pina, Armando A. – Journal of Adolescence, 2009
Using an "at-risk" sample of African American girls, the present study examined the link between girls' retrospective reports of pubertal timing, girls' perceived relative pubertal timing, and their behavioral and emotional problems as rated by the girls themselves (N = 102; 11-17 years), as well as teachers and parents. Structural equation…
