This study examined whether individual differences in personality (development) from adolescence to emerging adulthood were associated with burnout and happiness in emerging adulthood. At Time 1 (2009; M[subscript age] = 15.7 years), Time 2 (2012), and Time 3 (2015), Belgian participants (N = 329; 43.1% boys) reported on the personality dimensions…

White, Hope I.; Bowker, Julie C.; Adams, Ryan E.; Coplan, Robert J. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
The present study examines within- and between-person associations between emerging adults' daily time spent alone and their positive/negative affect during social interactions. We also consider whether motivations for seeking solitude (shyness, unsociability, avoidance) moderate these associations. Participants were 411 emerging adults (ages…

Osmont, Anaïs; Cassotti, Mathieu – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2023
This research aimed to clarify whether middle adolescents' risk-taking is driven by reduced ambiguity aversion. In Study 1, we explored the development of ambiguity aversion using an adaptation of the classic Ellsberg paradox with early adolescents (10-11 years old), middle adolescents (14-16 years old), and young adults (20-25 years old). Study 2…

To illuminate individual differences in the development of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in the general population, psychometric measures are needed that can capture general population-level symptom variation reliably, validly, and comparably from childhood through to the transition to adulthood. The ADHD subscale of the…

Experiences of contact between adopted persons and birth family members have implications for psychological adjustment of adopted persons. The current study utilizes four contact trajectory groups, spanning from middle childhood to young adulthood and encompassing three aspects of birth family contact in predicting psychological adjustment and…

W.; Žukauskiene, Rita – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Evidence suggests an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, particularly among emerging adults. However, theories on altruism born of suffering or adversarial growth suggest that we might also see prosocial behavior as a function of the pandemic, which may protect against mental health challenges. Because cultural values are central in…

Shulman, Shmuel; Yonatan-Leus, Refael; Silberberg, Ornella – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2023
Research has documented both stable and nonstable trajectories of depressive symptoms across young adulthood, but has not explored the mechanisms that might explain change in level of depressive affect over time. To explore this question, the current study draws on data from an Israeli longitudinal study of 205 young adults who reported their…

O'Connor, Alison M.; Judges, Rebecca A.; Lee, Kang; Evans, Angela D. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Self-report research indicates that dishonesty decreases across adulthood; however, behavioral measures of dishonesty have yet to be examined across younger and older adults. The present study examined younger and older adults' cheating behaviors in relation to their self-reported honesty-humility. Younger (N = 112) and older adults (N = 85)…

Stattin, Håkan; Amnå, Erik; Russo, Silvia – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2023
This study examines whether youth's goals for their future societal engagement affect their future political activities. We hypothesized, first, that youth's political interest would be a central predictor of their future political activities and, second, that their goals for future societal engagement would moderate their political interest. The…

Yau, Priscilla S.; Shane, Jacob; Heckhausen, Jutta – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Adolescents navigate the transition into young adulthood through their pursuit of developmental goals. While societal expectations and institutions provide normed paths to adulthood by shaping decisions on goal identification, individuals take various routes to attain adult-status through different goal prioritization. Using longitudinal data from…

Sorgente, Angela; Vosylis, Rimantas; Lanz, Margherita; Serido, Joyce; Shim, Soeyon – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2020
The transition from financial dependence on one's parents to financial self-sufficiency is one of the most relevant transitions during emerging adulthood. It is important to have an instrument able to assess emerging adults' financial capabilities and to detect its change over time. The current article aims to collect international evidence of the…

During emerging adulthood, family relationships remain salient. This study examined, from a gender perspective, continuity/discontinuity and stability/instability in family relationships, in a two-time repeated-measures study with Spanish emerging adult college students. It also analyzed the implications of the quality of parent--child…

Johnson, Matthew D.; Krahn, Harvey J.; Galambos, Nancy L. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2023
Trajectories of perceived stress from the transition to adulthood (age 25), during young adulthood (age 32), and into midlife (ages 43 and 50) were examined with four waves of longitudinal survey data (N = 688; 49% female, 37% with a university degree, 86% White). We explored how between- and within-person variation in perceived stress was…

Hoeben Mannaert, Lara; Dijkstra, Katinka – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Over the past decade or so, developments in language comprehension research in the domain of cognitive aging have converged on support for resilience in older adults with regard to situation model updating when reading texts. Several studies have shown that even though age-related declines in language comprehension appear at the level of the…

Matthews, Timothy; Fisher, Helen L.; Bryan, Bridget T.; Danese, Andrea; Moffitt, Terrie E.; Qualter, Pamela; Verity, Lily; Arseneault, Louise – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
The present study used quantitative and qualitative methods to explore how lonely young people are seen from others' perspectives, in terms of their personality, behavior, and life circumstances. Data were drawn from the Environmental Risk Longitudinal Twin Study, a cohort of 2,232 individuals born in the U.K. in the mid-1990s. When participants…
