▼ Young people of all developing countries experience
some degree of difficulty and uncertainty as they make their
transition to
adulthood. In Ethiopia, a growing number of young
cohorts are entering their
transition life stage in rapidly
changing social, economic, and political contexts often made
difficult by poverty, civil wars, and political instability in the
country. Children's and adolescents' school enrollment and
attainment are also affected by household poverty and unexpected
shocks such as drought, food insecurity, and illness and/or death
of a household member. This dissertation addressed two related
objectives. The first objective is to describe the pattern of
transition to
adulthood among young people in Ethiopia in the past
twenty years, and to explain the changing pattern in terms of
political, economic and social changes. The second objective is to
examine how household poverty, negative household shocks, and
access to and quality of school affect current school enrollment,
dropouts, and attainment among school-age children. The data used
for this analysis come from the 1984 and the 1994 population
censuses of Ethiopia, and the 2004 nationally representative
welfare monitoring survey. To identify and describe changes in the
transition to
adulthood, I employed an entropy analysis on
transition status combinations from three synthetic cohorts
constructed from the three datasets. Multivariate statistical
analyses are used to investigate key determinants of schooling
outcomes among children and adolescents. The result revealed some
important population level changes in the
transition to
adulthood
over the past twenty years. Recent rapid expansion in school
enrollment has played a key role in delaying the timing of
transition to
adulthood, but this secular change has also been
influenced by period-specific economic and political disruptions.
Household wealth and parental education significantly increase
child's school enrollment and attainment. Unexpected household
shocks such as food shortage, job loss, and illness or death of
household member increases the likelihood of school dropout. Lack
of access to school and poor school quality significantly decrease
the chance of enrollment and increase the risk of dropout in rural
areas.

Ready For Launch, But To Where? Locational Attainment And Health During The Transition To Adulthood.

▼ The availability of resources instrumental to individuals’ life chances, health, and well-being varies considerably across neighborhoods (Macintyre 2007; Sampson, Morenoff, and Gannon-Rowley 2002). Because of this, locational attainment―the process of moving into better or worse neighborhoods―is of longstanding interest to social scientists. Scholars have paid little attention to locational attainment during the
transition to
adulthood, a stage in life that consists of many transitions that are potentially consequential to locational attainment. This dissertation sheds light on factors related to locational attainment and the health consequences of locational attainment during the
transition to
adulthood with three studies. The first and second studies examine how combinations of key life transitions coincide with the locational attainments of young women and men as they enter young
adulthood. The third study investigates how moving into, out of, or remaining in (non)poor neighborhoods is associated with persistent and onset obesity between adolescence and young
adulthood. I draw upon data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, or Add Health. Results of the first study show that young women who bypass college and enter
adulthood via family-oriented transitions are the most likely to consistently live in poor neighborhood and move from nonpoor to poor neighborhoods, while women whose
transition sets feature delayed family formation and involvement with postsecondary education or employment are the most likely to never live in poor neighborhoods. Findings from the second study show that young men whose transitions to
adulthood involve higher education and delayed employment and family formation are at the greatest risk for moving from nonpoor to poor neighborhoods in young
adulthood, but those who rapidly enter full-time employment, marriage, and parenthood face a strong chance of consistently living in
iv
poor neighborhoods. Finally, results from the third study show that young women, but not men, who consistently live in poor neighborhoods are more likely to be consistently obese between adolescence and young
adulthood and to become obese by young
adulthood than women who never lived in poor neighborhoods. Overall, the results suggest that certain pathways into
adulthood are associated with greater neighborhood poverty exposure, and that accumulated neighborhood poverty exposure is linked to a higher risk for both remaining and becoming obese.

▼ O presente estudo investigou a transição para a vida adulta em jovens de diferentes níveis socioeconômicos (NSE) no sul do Brasil, e objetivou identificar a existência ou não do fenômeno chamado adultez emergente (AE) no sul país. A amostra foi composta de 547 jovens, residentes em Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, entre 18 e 29 anos (M = 22 anos; IQ = 19-26), 196 (35,8%) homens, e 351 (64.2%) mulheres; de NSE baixo (n = 194, 35.5%) e alto (n = 353, 64,5%). O primeiro conjunto de estudos foi composto por análises estatísticas uni e multivariadas (Análise Fatorial, MANCOVA, e Regressões Múltiplas Moderadas). Os inventários examinados, IDEA e FESA, apresentaram nova estrutura fatorial, associadas a influências do contexto brasileiro e à necessidade de revisão das medidas originais. A AE mostrou-se mais provável de ocorrer em contextos de NSE alto. O grupo de NSE baixo apresentou tendência a assumir responsabilidades adultas precocemente, o que dificulta a experimentação de um período mais exploratório de suas identidades. A dimensão Foco em si mesmo na amostra brasileira foi associada com o processo gradual dos participantes construírem uma base para sua vida adulta; e também a uma orientação mais individualista. A análise temática desenvolvida no estudo qualitativo identificou a presença das cinco principais características da AE e sua dimensão oposta, Foco nos outros, na amostra. Indivíduos de NSE alto descreveram uma transição para a vida adulta em harmonia com o que é observado em outros países industrializados. Indivíduos de NSE baixo apresentaram uma tendência diferente. A oportunidade de serem Focados em si mesmos e investirem na Exploração de sua identidade aconteceriam após um período de Foco nos outros.
The present study investigated the transition to adulthood in Southern Brazilians from differing SES and aimed to examine whether or not the phenomenon of EA exists in the country. The sample included 547 individuals; residents in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State, between 18 and 29 years old (M = 22 years; IQR = 19-26), 196 (35.8%) males, and 351 (64.2%) females, of low (n = 194, 35.5%) and high SES (n = 353, 64.5%). The first set of studies was composed of univariate and multivariate statistical analysis (Factor Analysis, MANCOVA, and Moderatared Multiple Regressions). The inventories examined, IDEA and FESA, presented a new factor structure, associated with Brazilian contextual influences and the necessity of reviewing the original measures. The EA phenomenon was more likely to be present in HSES contexts in Brazil. The LSES group trend to assuming adult responsibilities earlier blocks their opportunities of exploring diverse fields. The dimension Self-focused in the Southern Brazilian sample was associated with participants’ gradual process of building a foundation to adulthood, and also with a more individualistic orientation. The thematic analysis developed in the qualitative study identified the presence of the five main EA features and its counterpart, Other-focused in the sample. HSES…

▼ This dissertation addresses conflicting representations of the import of marriage in the lives of African Americans during the transition to adulthood. Larger demographic trends and racialized rhetoric about the declining significance of
marriage suggest that marriage matters very little to young Blacks. Scholars of inequality suggest, however, that marriage is a central organizing principle in the lives and relationships of young Blacks, a proposition that is shared by marital horizon
theorists. The four studies of this dissertation attend to these divergent claims by examining how African Americans come to view marriage as they embark on the transition to adulthood and how these marital perspectives shape their experiences across
this transition. More specifically, these studies address four specific aims: (1) to explore the multiple contexts that give rise to young Blacks’ varied perspectives on marriage, (2) to test the extent to which these early marital perspectives predict
relationship formation experiences, educational outcomes, and risk-taking behaviors across the transition to adulthood, (3) to assess the extent to which marital perspectives change throughout young adulthood in response to relationship experiences, and
(4) to investigate the role that marital perspectives play in shaping experiences within non-marital relationships. The study of marriage has been increasingly detached from the study of young adulthood, particularly among Blacks. Given racialized
debates surrounding marriage and its presumed declining significance, along with the extensive efforts by the U.S. government to target African Americans in its marriage promotion efforts, this development is lamentable. This dissertation integrates and
expands two seemingly disparate literatures, that of critical race and gender scholars and that of marital horizon theorists, via a life course framework to address the construction and implications of marital perspectives in the lives of African
Americans during the transition to adulthood. In doing so, this work attends to broad theoretical questions and omnipresent concerns among sociologists about the link between structure and agency. Further, it contextualizes young African Americans lives
and relationships in a way that sharpens our understanding of intersecting gender and racial inequalities. In doing so, it challenges common misconceptions about the importance of marriage among young African Americans today.

The Dynamics of Participation in Subsidized Housing Programs in the U.S.

▼ Over the course of its 80-year history, the main goal of the subsidized housing program in the United States has been to help poor households live in physically sound affordable housing. Over and above serving the immediate shelter needs of low-income households, an important but not always explicit justification for the program has been the belief that upgrading the housing conditions of the poor will yield broader benefits of social and economic advancement not only to the occupants of subsidized apartments but also to the neighborhoods around them. The various forms that the subsidized housing program has taken over the years have been closely linked both to attitudes towards the proper responses to address poverty and the role that governments can play in the operation of the housing market. My dissertation examines the experiences of residents of subsidized housing before, during, and after their involvement with the program with particular attention to the understanding of poverty and social stratification.Specifically, Chapter 1 investigates the pathways that residents take to enter subsidized housing and exit subsidized housing. I use life table analysis and discrete time hazard modeling with data from two nationally representative panel surveys, the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), spanning the period 1990-2008, and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), spanning the period 1969-2007. I find that the median time to entry into subsidized housing is 30 years, reflecting the fact that most individuals who are eligible for the subsidy never receive it. On the other hand, the median time to exit from subsidized housing ranges from 5 years for public housing to 3 or 4 years for other types of subsidized housing. The process of entering subsidized housing in a lot of ways mirrors the process of exiting subsidized housing. African Americans are the ones who are most likely to find themselves in subsidized housing and are also the ones most likely to stay in subsidized housing longer. While the amount of household earnings and welfare benefits does not have an overwhelming association with either entering or exiting subsidized housing, the local employment and housing conditions do have an effect on the process, with individuals living in places with higher unemployment rates and higher rents more likely to enter subsidized housing and also less likely to exit subsidized housing. My findings also confirm previous research showing that the residents of public housing programs live in some of the most distressed neighborhoods and any exit from the program improves their neighborhood conditions. My findings also show that the voucher program and the private subsidized housing program do not have the intended effect of providing residents with better neighborhood environments.Chapter 2 examines an understudied aspect of the relationship between government subsidies and household structure, namely how entering subsidized housing, staying in subsidized housing and exiting into the private housing…

▼ Purpose: The purposes of this study were first to
identify and describe transition to adulthood pathways of youth
with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) in regards to the timing
and order of transition to adulthood task completion (e.g.
completing education, gaining employment, living independently,
marrying/close personal relationship, and becoming a parent). It
then evaluated the relationship between transition pathway and use
of social services (e.g. SNAP, TANF, Medicaid, etc.), and contact
with the justice system (e.g. arrest, incarceration, probation).
Methods: This study is a secondary data analysis using self-report
data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2 (NLTS2). A
latent class analysis of responses from 950 youth with SED ages 13
to 26 years and their caregivers was conducted to determine how
youth with SED experienced transition task completion. Once
pathways were identified, social service use and justice system
contact were examined by transition pathway for group differences.
Results: Two pathways through the transition to adulthood for
youth with SED were identified. Approximately half of youth (53%,
Class 2) in this study experienced early transition task
completion, including school (most by age 19), and a steady rate of
gaining employment and independent living. These youth were more
likely to be from households above the poverty level, Caucasian,
and to report higher social assertiveness skills. Youth in the
second identified pathway (47%, Class 1) reported transition task
completion as a gradual process. They were more likely to still be
engaged in school or other educational programing well into their
20s and less likely to be employed, living independently, or
parenting (Class 2). They were also more likely to be from
households below the poverty level, less likely to be Caucasian,
and reported lower social assertiveness skills. Due to limitations
in the data, social service use and criminal justice system contact
were not able to be fully examined based on transition pathway.
However, consistent with the literature, youth with SED reported a
high rate of social service use (TANF 23%, food stamps/SNAP 33%,
social security income 39%, Medicaid/Medicare 51%) and justice
system contact (arrested 49%, jailed 27%, probation/parole 27%).
Conclusions: Findings allowed for the identification of a
proportion of youth with SED (47%, Class 1) that achieved
transition tasks, markers of independence into adulthood, more
gradually than their peers. Based on the characteristics of this
subset of youth who were at risk of delayed transition, it is
important to focus interventions on minority, low income youth with
SED and lower social skills. A key component of intervention should
be focusing efforts when youth were still of school age, as
findings indicate youth are already on their transition trajectory
by age 18. More research is needed to follow youth with SED into
adulthood and determine the impact of alternative transition
pathways.

▼ This paper examines the relationships among household income, perceived financial strain and depressive symptoms in the
transition to
adulthood. To assess these relationships, twelve years (2000-2012) of representative data over seven waves are extracted from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth – Young Adult Sample (N = 6,726; Observations = 18,379; Age range = 18 to 35 years). Utilizing life course theory and the cumulative disadvantages hypothesis, I found that perceived financial strain weakens the beneficial, decreasing impact of household income on depressive symptoms. Moreover, the joint effects of perceived financial strain and household income on depressive symptoms vary by age. Across levels of income (i.e., high income, mean income, low income), perceived financial strain dilutes the helpful benefits of high income such that perceptions of economic hardship similarly impacts individuals regardless of actual income level. Within income brackets, those respondents who reported never experiencing financial strain are better off than those who stated they experience hardship occasionally or all of the time. Moreover, those who reported occasionally perceiving strain had significantly lower depressive symptoms than those who detailed perceiving financial strain all of the time. Altogether, these findings indicate that perceived financial strain is more so a driver of mental health than household income as young adults seek to make ends meet.

▼ In recent decades, student loan debt has become a harsh reality for the majority of American students. Surprisingly, there is a substantial lack of research into both the factors that shape student loan debt accumulation and the consequences of that debt throughout the life course. This dissertation provides insight into these questions by presenting three related chapters on student loan debt, using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY-97). Results from the first study indicate that financial contributions from family for educational expenses have the power to shape student loan usage. The effect of family aid is complex, and the direction and strength of the effect vary depending on several factors. In general, family gifts can serve to reduce the likelihood that students will take out student loans, provided that the family gifts received are large enough. The second study explores this relationship further, finding that the extent to which family gifts are able to prevent student loan usage varies depending on socioeconomic status, with wealthier students receiving greater benefits from family gifts. Family gifts do not explain much of the effect of parental socioeconomic status on the likelihood of taking out student loans, however, indicating that parental resources work in both direct and indirect ways to shape student loan debt. The third study turns to an examination of the consequences of student loan debt for young adults, finding that high levels of student loan debt increase the likelihood that young adults will live with roommates at age 25 rather than living independently; increase the likelihood that young adults will return to live with parents after initially moving out; and decrease the likelihood of early homeownership. Overall, these results underscore the potential for student loan debt to negatively affect students as they
transition to
adulthood and emphasize the importance of socioeconomic status and direct family aid as determinants of those who carry the cost of their college education beyond graduation and into
adulthood, and those who do not.

▼ Background
The transition to adulthood is a time of information needs for youth living with cerebral palsy (CP) and their parents. Access to information and being provided information may assist youth and their parents in making informed decisions. Youth with CP and parents of youth living with CP have reported lack of information as a challenge during the transition to adulthood. Little is known about the information needs of youth with CP and parents during the transition to adulthood from their perspective.
Objectives and Methods
The objective of this thesis was to explore the information needs of youth with CP and parents during the transition to adulthood. A scoping review was conducted seeking to understand what was known in the transition literature about the information needs of youth with CP and parents (Chapter 2). To clarify the methodological framework of this dissertation the application of interpretive description (ID) to a case study example within childhood disability research was explored (Chapter 3). The information needs during transition in a sample of young adults living with CP were explored using ID (Chapter 4). The information needs of parents of youth with CP currently in the transition to adulthood were then explored, using ID because it was learned in the study of adults living with CP that their parents initiated information seeking or had information needs of their own during transition (Chapter 5).
Findings
Primary findings from this dissertation include the recognition, from both the scoping review and the two studies, that both youth living with CP and parents of youth living with CP in the transition to adulthood have information needs during the transition to adulthood. More specifically, both youth and parents are seeking to receive information related to goals in adult life, such as employment, postsecondary education, leaving the family home and relationships. Youth prefer to receive their information from peers living with CP. Parents prefer to receive information from peers, but some also desire a direct connection with service providers. Other parents recommend adults living with CP as an information source. Youth and parents agree that information should be delivered in individualized tailored ways. In addition to rehabilitation professionals, youth and parents highlighted the need for information from educators and other community providers.
Implications for Clinical Practice
Rehabilitation professionals have an important role in helping to provide tailored information. Rehabilitation professionals can initiate conversations about the transition to adulthood around the beginning of high school that focus on improving the self-management of youth of their own transitional journey. In addition to having conversations with clients, rehabilitation professionals should also connect clients with community supports.

▼ Existing research on LBGTQ youth has focused on problem behaviors and considerably less attention has been devoted to positive developmental processes. However, positive youth development knowledge is critical to enabling researchers and practitioners to conduct work that might facilitate a successful
transition to
adulthood. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore the
transition to
adulthood among LBGTQ youth. Data were generated through ethnographic techniques at an organized leisure program designed to serve LBGTQ youth and their heterosexual allies.
Thematic analysis yielded three manuscripts designed for journal submission. Results of the first study enhanced understanding of the similarities and differences between queer and heterosexual development. In particular, findings indicated that traditional assumptions about markers of success and developmental assets were highly relevant to most participants. The key difference between queer and heterosexual development was that LBGTQ populations must contend with compulsory heterosexuality or the network of normative expectations and sanctions which compel individuals to be heterosexual. For instance, participants shared how they hid their sexuality often for years to avoid being labeled as different or facing harassment.
I explored resistance and oppression in the leisure experiences of LBGTQ youth in the second study to further expand understanding of positive developmental processes among queer young people. Results indicated that participants resisted oppression in several ways, including creating spaces that preserved their autonomy. Others deconstructed the privilege in their lives, which enhanced their understanding of how their actions intersect with the oppression of others.
In the third study, I explored features of positive developmental settings for LBGTQ youth to explore how leisure contexts might facilitate the
transition to
adulthood for queer youth. Two features emerged as particularly relevant: support for efficacy and mattering and integration of school, family, and community efforts. Results indicated that staff promoted social norms that respected the capabilities of all people. Further, the integration of program activities within the broader queer community led to important successes related to celebrating the heterogeneity of queer and promoting communion. I hope these manuscripts will enhance the capacity of leisure professionals to work with LBGTQ youth.

▼ Nearly 100,000 youth exit correctional facilities each year and reenter the community. As they attempt to resituate themselves in their former environments, many will encounter emotional, social and logistical challenges that may deter them from achieving success. Further, many will reoffend shortly after their release. In order to break cycles of crime and recidivism among youth offenders, it is necessary to explore the pathways that lead them away from crime, particularly as they transition into adulthood. Theory asserts that criminal desistance is a process that entails individual behavioral changes, changing life circumstances, and environmental context. Little is known however, about how young people perceive and navigate the challenges they encounter in this process. Moreover, scholars have not fully explored the relationships between social supports and desistance, including how formerly incarcerated youth perceive, utilize, and access support to help them stay out of trouble. This study used a narrative, life history approach to explore the relationship between criminal desistance, perceptions, and use of social supports among formerly incarcerated, transition-age youth. The researcher conducted 30 in-depth qualitative interviews with 15 formerly incarcerated young men, ages 19-24. Coding and memoing were used to identify major themes related to the participants' desistance journeys and to develop a set of findings concerning the relationship between social support and criminal desistance in the transition to adulthood. This study located three offender typologies, each holding different ideas of desistance ranging from complete abstinence from crime to committing crimes while avoiding police contact. These definitions shaped how they approached the desistance barriers they faced: appearance, feeling marked, and relationships with people and places in the environment. Three important findings emerged with regards to the study variables. First, micro-level decision making helped the participants to navigate desistance barriers. Second, successful desisters latched onto "hooks" that enabled them to transition into adulthood and away from their criminal pasts. Last, social supports served as both a barrier and a coping strategy in the desistance process. Key implications are identified regarding how to better understand the construct of desistance, and how social supports can help young men in the desistance process.

▼ This dissertation is a qualitative study of the stories young adult children tell about growing up with a parent with a diagnosed mood disorder. Using 50 in-depth interviews with young adults between the ages of 19 and 34, I explore how children of parents with a mood disorder, who describe feeling invisible and/or misunderstood, rely on a specific set of cultural stories that emphasize white, middle-class ideals to make sense of their childhoods and the consequences of their parents' illness. When they compare their own experiences to these narrow ideals, my respondents describe "lost" childhoods and feelings of "growing up too fast." They use these interpretations of their childhood to explain their choices and behaviors as they
transition to
adulthood. The stories they tell simultaneously empower and constrain my respondents as they seek to emphasize the maturity and independence that they gain, while also discussing the often-negative impact of their parents' illness on their relationship and childbearing decisions. I include data collected from cross-gender sibling pairs to explore how children who grow up in the same household may not only have different experiences but vastly different ways of interpreting them and the role that gender plays in this process. Finally, I discuss the implications of this study for how we understand children of parents with a mental illness and the importance of examining the role that culture plays in shaping how individuals interpret and talk about their families.

▼ South Africa continues to have the highest HIV-prevalence in the world, in addition to other sexual health-related issues. A vast majority of its population is also religiously affiliated with Christianity. This study sought to understand how young women living in Khayelitsha experience the relationship between sexual health and religion within the context of uncertainty and socio-economic deprivation. How their sexual health-decision making unfolds given the tensions that arise between religious expectations and socio-economic realities and how they perceive the partnership between religious organisations and public health facilities offering sexual health services was also explored. Data collection consisted of ethnographic field notes, 11 semistructured interviews and 3 focus group discussions with 6 people in each group. Data were then analysed using a thematic analysis approach. The findings reveal that young women experience the tension between religious expectations and their socio-economic realities through the “moral dichotomisation of right and wrong” and that this, in addition to the ‘dynamics of hypervulnerability’ consisting of gender inequalities and economic vulnerability, leads to a sense of lacking control over sexual health decision-making. The call for church involvement in sexual health-related matters reveals a deeper desire for various forms of support as they
transition to
adulthood in the context of uncertainty and socio-economic marginalisation. The article argues that young people navigating uncertainty and dealing with the complexities of transitioning to
adulthood may perceive religion and the church to play the role of a custodian in sexual health issues, however, expectations of the church are difficult to live up to and sit in tension with socio- economic realities. Thus, a division of duties between religious organisations and public health facilities should be established to strengthen sexual health promotion and prevention efforts.

▼ Within the United States, nearly all growth in the young adult population over the next forty years will come from immigrants and their U.S.-born children. While many immigrant youth face similar challenges, they also vary substantially in their access to family and institutional resources which may influence their ability to make a successful
transition to
adulthood. Utilizing national, longitudinal data from the adolescent (2002/2004), young adult follow-up (2006) and later adult follow-up (2012) surveys of the Educational Longitudinal Study (U.S. Department of Education), I examine the degree to which second generation immigrant youth are rooted in significant social relationships with parents, peers, teachers and in their communities and whether the potential and actual resources available from these relationships influence early patterns and later adult status attainment. I find that second generation immigrant youth vary in the intensity and quality of relationships during the adolescent development period and these differences in part reflect differences between racial/ethnic groups, gender and by family and neighborhood characteristics. The results from my hierarchical linear regression analysis also indicate that immigrant adolescence who are socially embedded within their family, peer, school and community have higher educational attainment and are more civically engaged ten years later in
adulthood.

▼ What does it mean to be an adult? How do views of self as an adult affect health behaviors? How does the perception of others’ expectations for what it means to be an adult affect mental health? The transition to adulthood is a pivotal point
in the life course for establishing individuals’ trajectories for both family and career. This study contributes to our understanding of how identity and feedback from significant others affect health outcomes for young adults. Using an original sample
of over 500 18 to 29 year-olds in the United States, I explore how identity processes shape health outcomes. I draw from social psychological theory on identity, a life course theoretical framework, and empirical data on health during the transition to
adulthood. In particular, I seek to establish if the adult identity serves as a resource to limit participation in health risk behaviors of marijuana use, problem alcohol use, and inebriated sex. Consistent with theoretical predictions, I find that
viewing oneself as an adult is associated with lower levels of participation in these health risk behaviors. Additionally, I explore how the source of feedback about meeting adulthood expectations affects anxiety and depression. Overall, as expected,
there is a positive relationship between falling behind others’ expectations and psychological distress even while controlling for own expectations about at what age one should accomplish markers of adulthood. In particular, I find that falling behind
perceived expectations of peers regarding markers of adulthood is associated with anxiety and that falling behind the perceived expectations of parents and society regarding markers of adulthood is associated with depressive symptoms. Substantive,
theoretical, and policy implications of these findings are discussed.

▼ Utilizing a sample of first
semester first year college students, this study examined the
relation between multiple dimensions of college organized activity
(OA) involvement (i.e., intensity, breadth, identity relevance, and
continuity) and measures of adjustment (i.e., depressive symptoms,
optimism, positive affect, and negative affect). This study also
explored whether the degree of association between the OA
dimensions and the adjustment variables was moderated by gender and
residential status. Additionally, this study examined whether
adjustment at the start of college was associated with patterns of
OA involvement in college. Participants completed measures of
depressive symptoms, optimism, positive affect, negative affect,
and organized activity involvement at the beginning and end of
their first semester of college. Results showed that OA intensity
was positively associated with optimism and OA continuity
discrepancy was positively associated with positive affect.
Additionally, residential status moderated the relation between
continuity discrepancy and optimism as well as the relation between
intensity and positive affect. Gender also moderated the relation
between breadth and positive affect. These findings have important
implications for those working with first year college students
making the transition to college and for the larger organized
activity literature.

▼ Transition to adulthood, referring to the process
of moving from childhood to adulthood, can be a complex period for
youths with disabilities who might need special support
transitioning into an independent life as adults. Caregivers are
significant persons for the youths, which is why their own health
and wellbeing is important. Therefore the overall aim of this
thesis was to gain a deeper understanding of health and wellbeing,
challenges, preferences and needs during the transition from
childhood to adulthood in youths with disabilities and their
caregivers. The thesis is comprised of two studies, study A
focusing on the perspectives of youths with CP (Paper I) and of
their caregivers (Paper II) and Study B focusing on the
perspectives of immigrant youths with disabilities and caregivers
from Middle Eastern countries residing in Sweden (Paper III and
IV). Study A had a qualitative approach and involved focus groups
and individual interviews with 12 male and female youths, 17-18
years of age, with CP and various physical and cognitive levels of
disabilities (Paper I), as well as 15 mothers and fathers (Paper
II). The interviews were analysed using qualitative content
analysis. In Study B, a combination of qualitative and quantitative
methods was used. Based on structured and semi-structured
questionnaires in combination with open ended questions interviews
were conducted in Swedish or Arabic with 17 male and female youths,
13-24 years of age with various disabilities and 10 mothers, five
fathers and one sibling. The families were all immigrants with
Middle Eastern origin and most of them had lived in Sweden for more
than five years. The questionnaires Family Need Survey (FNS),
Rotterdam Transition Profile (RTP) and Canadian Occupational
Performance Measure (COPM) were all translated and adapted to
Swedish except for COPM where there already was a Swedish version.
The results were analysed using mainly descriptive statistics and
based on the framework of International Classification of
Functioning, Disability and Health – Children & Youth Version
(ICF-CY). The findings from study A showed that the experiences of
youths and caregivers mostly concerned mental health and wellbeing
described as both positive and negative experiences. Their family
life was experienced as important, secure and convenient, which
made the youths feel safe and gave parents a sense of
meaningfulness. Youths described participation, socialising and
love as being important, but also challenging and worrying.
Caregivers experienced sorrow and anger and together with demanding
logistics, planning and worrying, their health was affected
negatively during their children’s transition to adulthood. The
findings from study B showed that youths were dependent on their
caregivers for transportations, participating in leisure activities
and socialising with friends. They were also dependent on their
caregivers for the demanding of support and health care. The youths
had few or no experiences of intimate relationships but felt that
they were expected to…

▼ Life course criminology is characterized by a
two-pronged approach to research. The first branch emphasizes
social integration and involvement with pro-social institutions as
turning points in the criminal career. The second branch of this
work assesses how access to the institutions that facilitate social
integration are conditioned by factors such as involvement in the
criminal justice system. Theories of capital are chiefly concerned
with social integration and the continuity of conventionality,
conformity, and prosperity offered through social ties and social
networks. Absent from life course criminology is a better
understanding of how different forms of criminal capital can
influence access to institutions like higher education, marriage,
and employment during the transition to adulthood. Drawing on
insights from distinct bodies of literature on peers, capital, and
status attainment, the present study elaborates on the influence of
criminal capital for (un)successful transitions to adulthood. Using
three waves of data from the National Longitudinal Study of
Adolescent to Adult Health (“Add Health”), the effects of
adolescent criminal social capital on criminal cultural and human
capital, and subsequent educational, occupational, and marital
attainment in early adulthood are examined. Results from a series
of regression models demonstrate that criminal social capital has
minimal effects on fatalistic beliefs or thoughtful and reflective
decision making, and that these forms of criminal capital generally
have inconsistent effects on later life transitions. Implications
for theory and future research are discussed.

▼ Recent research has proposed a new stage in human development, termed emerging adulthood by Jeffrey Arnett, which is characterized by a prolonged journey to adult roles and responsibilities. This thesis explores the experience of Chinese emerging adults, university students aged 20-25 years using Erikson’s and Levinson’s developmental theories as a theoretical framework. These authors proposed that three major developmental tasks are necessary for the transition to adulthood: separating from family of origin, forming an adult identity and finding the place for the self in the larger society.
Qualitative interviews were conducted virtually with 12 Chinese university students to understand their perceptions and lived experience. Qualitative thematic analysis was used to analyze the interview transcripts. The results suggest Chinese emerging adults (a) have a low level of separation from parents; (b) have not formed a clear sense of identity and have not achieved a self-definition in adulthood; and (c) have not made initial commitments to love and work. It is speculated that the Chinese sociocultural context may further postpone its young adults’ independence and autonomy, and this prolonged transition to adulthood is both positive and problematic to Chinese young adults.
This study lends support to Arnett’s emerging adulthood theory through its exploration of emerging adulthood in China, where, to date, little research has been done on this subject. It provides rich descriptions of the experience of Chinese emerging adults’ lives and enhances understandings of the role of culture in influencing the emerging adulthood period.

▼ Precarious employment—that is, jobs that entail a nonstandard contract, are short term, and/or do not provide fringe benefits like health insurance and retirement savings—has become a widely discussed topic in the media and a key research topic among scholars. Despite increasing scholarly and public interest in precarious employment, however, few studies have considered the effects of such employment beyond typical work and career outcomes. Using longitudinal panel data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, this study examines the effect of precarious employment on the social and political lives of contemporary young adults. The first chapter reviews the literature on the rise of precarious employment and the parallel phenomenon of delayed adulthood. The second chapter investigates the effects of precarious employment on parental co-residence and moving back home during young adulthood. I find evidence that nonstandard employment, short tenure, no employer-provided health insurance, and no employer-provided retirement benefits results in greater likelihood of living at home with parents. The third chapter analyzes the effects of precarious employment among young adults on having a first marriage. Here too, I find evidence that all four forms of precarious employment have negative effects on having a first marriage by the normative age. The fourth chapter assesses how precarious employment impacts political participation during young adulthood. Findings suggest that young adults that experience nonstandard employment are no less likely to be politically active than their peers with formal employment, but those that experience short tenure and no employer-provided benefits are less likely to vote, attend political meetings, and donate money to a cause. The fifth chapter discusses the theoretical and policy implications of these findings.

▼ Sociology
This dissertation examines the strategies that students use for navigating their way through college and the steps they take in preparation for college graduation. I wrote this dissertation because I wanted to understand how students go from being freshmen not long out of high school to young adults prepared (or not prepared) to enter the workforce or attend graduate or professional school. Past research has found that as high school students, many young people are generally directionless when it comes to learning about different career paths (Schneider and Stevenson 2006). Moreover, in the U.S., there is very little structural support for helping students navigate the transition from student to worker. While universities may offer programs that can aid students in finding jobs or applying to graduate schools, it is largely up to students to seek these programs out. This dissertation therefore investigates the question, "How much do college students plan for their post-college lives?" To accomplish my research goals, I focus on two areas in which students may demonstrate planfulness: choosing a college major and planning for post-graduation careers or schooling. I seek to answer three general questions. First, what reasons do students give for attending college? Second, how planful are students when selecting their college majors? Third, how planful are students in preparing for their future educational and occupational goals? To answer these questions, I collected my own data using a mixed methodology research design that included in-depth interviews with 31 students and a survey of nearly 500 college seniors at a large, northeastern university. This study adds to the literature on the transition to adulthood by studying the school-to-work transition. It also contributes to the sociology of education literature by shedding light on how college students make decisions about college majors. The survey shows that many students simultaneously hold both utilitarian and liberal arts philosophies toward higher education. The majority of survey respondents reported that they were motivated to attend college because of both the extrinsic and intrinsic rewards that a college education offers. Meanwhile, the in-depth interviews suggest that parental expectations, which were also commonly cited by survey respondents as reasons for attending college, are very powerful influences in students' decisions to attend college. Regarding college major choices, the survey results suggest that students find school experience more influential than the prospects of a potential career. In total, about two-thirds of respondents gave "present-oriented" rather than "future-oriented" reasons for choosing their majors. When looking at individual reasons for selecting a major, I found that passion for or interest in a subject was by far the reason cited most often as most important. The in-depth interview data provide further insight into the relationship between college majors and post-graduation plans. These interviews show that it…

Family Demographic Influences on the Timing and Stability of First Cohabiting Unions.

▼ Nonmarital cohabitation is an increasingly common union experience for individuals and a context for family building, both as a pre-cursor to marriage and a site of childbearing. Several factors may push or pull individuals into a first cohabiting union and impact the stability of their unions thereafter, including prior experiences in the family environment as well as concurrent behavior relating to childbearing and educational attainment. Much of the research looking at cohabitation formation and outcomes, however, has concentrated on cohabitation in early
adulthood or focused on the experiences of women. Furthermore, in this literature there is often an implicit assumption that the influence of predictors on cohabitation timing or stability is constant across age at union entrance or cohabitation duration. The current thesis extends work in this area by examining the timing of entering into first cohabitations and the outcomes of these unions for both men and women, from adolescence through young
adulthood, and considers whether the factors shaping these processes operate consistently across this age range. The analytic sample comes from nationally-representative data from Waves I and IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health.
Several dimensions of the family environment during adolescence and concurrent behavior across the
transition to
adulthood are considered as predictors of behavior in cohabiting unions. This thesis also examines whether these family and sociodemographic factors affect the risk of entering cohabiting unions in similar ways during adolescence, early
adulthood, and later into young
adulthood, and if these factors affect the risk of transitioning to marriage or breaking-up in similar ways across the duration of first cohabitations. Results indicate that exposure during adolescence to family instability, parental cohabitation, lower parental SES, and low family belonging are associated with elevated risk of entering into cohabiting unions, but primarily during adolescence and early
adulthood. At older ages, many of these family factors are no longer associated with an elevated rates of cohabiting, as individuals from a variety of family backgrounds are increasingly likely to cohabit. Family factors, including having a low sense of belonging to one’s family, are also associated with the stability of first cohabitations, contributing to a lower likelihood of transitioning to marriage and a higher likelihood of union dissolution.
Results also indicate that pregnancy and childbearing may motivate entrance into first cohabitations and contribute to the likelihood that these unions
transition to marriage or end in a break-up. However, the influence of pregnancy and childbearing on entering a cohabitation as well as their effect on the outcome of that union differs depending on the age of the individual and when in the cohabitation the childbearing occurs. Furthermore, results point to important gender and race differences in the role that pregnancy and childbearing…

▼ The Great Recession of 2008 and rising costs of college have stoked popular and scholarly concern about young adult debt. Debt plays an important role in the lives of young people as they make the
transition to
adulthood, but little research has been conducted on the topic. This dissertation sheds light on the role of debt in the lives of young adults with three studies. The first study asks how indebtedness has changed across three cohorts of young adults in their twenties. The second and third studies examine how the acquisition of student loan debt is implicated in the early process of status attainment at a time when the cost of a college degree is high. To do this I draw on data from four different nationally representative surveys of young adults: The National Longitudinal Study of Men (1966 cohort), The National Longitudinal Study of Women (1968 cohort), The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1979 Cohort), and the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (1997 cohort). The results show: (1) median debt has remained relatively stable over time, but young adults today have fewer assets than their predecessors and take on more unsecured debt, leading them to have higher debt burdens (e.g. higher debt to asset ratios); (2) Student loan debt acquisition is linked to young adults‘ social class of origin. Young people from well-educated or high-income families are relatively protected from debt. Moreover, the relationship between parents‘ income and student loan debt is nonlinear, such that young adults from middle-income families have a higher risk of debt than those from lower and higher income families; (3) Parents‘ education and young adult‘s postsecondary education interact to affect student loan debt. Parents‘ education acts as a safety net that reduces the positive correlation between postsecondary education and debt. Overall, the findings suggest that debt plays an important role in the lives of young adults as they become independent, and has become
more burdensome for young adults across cohorts. Debt also plays an important role in the early process of status attainment, particularly for young adults who use debt as a way to pay for college.

Change in College Students' Perceived Parental Permissibility of Alcohol Use and Its Relation to College Drinking Outcomes.

▼ Perceived parental permissibility of alcohol use has been consistently linked with college drinking outcomes. That is, students who report that their parents deem it appropriate for them consume more drinks on a given night report consuming a greater number of drinks, engaging in binge drinking more frequently, and experiencing a greater number of negative consequences of alcohol use. However, few studies have assessed permissibility as an outcome, measured permissibility on more than one occasion, or focused on the later college years. Data from 687 college students in a large university in the Northeast United States were used to assess whether perceived parental permissibility of alcohol use changed across college and whether permissibility predicted binge drinking frequency, peak drinking, and negative consequences of alcohol use. Results showed permissibility increased across college, and that the rate of change was faster for males than females. Generalized linear mixed models showed that between-person differences in mean permissibility were linked with all three drinking outcomes across college, such that individuals who reported higher mean permissibility also reported more frequent binge drinking occasions, higher levels of peak drinking, and more negative consequences of alcohol use. However, within-person differences in permissibility across years of college were only associated with peak drinking, such that in years when students reported higher permissibility they also reported higher peak drinking levels. The greater prevalence of between-person findings suggested the need for an approach focused on different profiles or groups of permissibility change across college. Four clusters of differential patterns of permissibility change were then identified using k-means cluster analysis: a low permissibility cluster, whose permissibility was consistently low; an age 21 permissibility cluster, whose permissibility rose sharply upon nearing the minimum legal drinking age of 21 years of age, a college permissibility cluster, whose permissibility rose sharply upon matriculating to college, and a high permissibility cluster, whose permissibility was consistently high. Membership in these clusters predicted binge drinking frequency and peak drinking, such that students in the low permissibility cluster reported fewer binge drinking occasions and fewer drinks consumed on their heaviest drinking occasions in comparison to each of the other three clusters. The results suggest that aspects of the parent-child relationship are linked with the risk behaviors their late adolescent children engage in during college. Intervention implications include the potential value of continuing intervention programs past the first year of college as both drinking behaviors and perceived parental permissibility of alcohol use increased across the first four years of college.

▼ Attending university for the first time involves a stressful
transition for most emerging adults, with a substantial minority of students experiencing serious difficulties. To provide a framework for understanding self-regulation and development during this period, the Regulation Extension to Sameroff's Unified Theory of Development (RESUTD) was proposed. Study One used a longitudinal design with a sample of emerging adults transitioning to university to test the proposed RESUTD model. Participant data originated from the
Transition to University (T2U) project (Buote et al., 2007; Wintre et al., 2009), a longitudinal, collaborative, multi-site investigation examining undergraduate students university experiences, with two cohorts of data starting in 2004 and 2005.
Analyses revealed a significant and notable impact of pre-existing student attributes, including socio-economic status (SES), high school graduating average (HGPA), and gender. Gender was a significant predictor of the intercept of the three outcome measures, such that, female students reported a greater initial level of stress and depressive symptomatology, and lower initial adjustment levels. Both SES and HGPA were also significant predictors of the intercept for student adjustment and emotional well-being, with higher values on both variables associated with better adjustment and well-being outcomes. The analyses also revealed the significant and continuous impact of both internal and external regulatory resources on student adjustment to university and emotional well-being outcomes.
Study Two aimed to develop and evaluate an effective intervention for supporting the improvement of students self-regulatory skills. A time-management intervention was designed with a focus on teaching students strategies to bolster their internal and external regulatory resources through both enhanced awareness of optimal behaviours, and the use of strategies that can modify the students environment. Being part of the intervention group was predictive of higher grades and accounted for approximately 10% of the variation in the final course grades after controlling for SES and HGPA. Compared to the control group, academic adjustment scores of the students in the intervention group increased after the workshop with a large effect size; and the perceived stress scores of the students in the intervention group had decreased, with a medium effect size. Implications for future research and the application of the findings to intervention efforts are discussed.

▼ The second half of the twentieth century has been characterized by substantial changes in demographic behaviors. Among these transformations also the process by which adolescents and teenagers transition to adulthood has changed greatly in many countries of the Western world. All the events of the transition to adulthood have been delayed and life course trajectories became more diverse. There are some aspects concerning the mentioned changes that have not been extensively studied in the literature. This dissertation is a collection of three papers that have the aim to investigate these neglected aspects concerning life course trajectories of young adults. In particular, the first two papers look at trends over time in the achievement of economic independence, a crucial event in the transition to adulthood that has not received enough attention so far. The first paper is a cross-national comparison describing the situation in six different developed societies. The second paper studies only the United States, going back to the 1970s and tracing changes over time until 2007. The third paper, instead, focuses on the role of parental social class in the transition to adulthood. The exact mechanisms by which socio-economic status affects the transition to economic self-sufficiency and family formation are largely unknown. A better understanding of these issues can highlight additional information to understand why and how the transition to adulthood has changed in the last five decades.
Analyses were carried out using survey data from the Luxemburg Income Study (LIS), the National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS, NLSY79, NLSY97), and the Multipurpose ISTAT (FSS 2003). A first main finding of this study is that the transition to economic independence has been delayed together with all the other events of the transition to adulthood. This process has occurred in all developed Western countries even if with some differences. A second finding is that parental social class can explain some of the variation in life courses, and that a higher social class is associated with a postponement in the transition. Also the role of family background, however, differentiates based on welfare state regimes, institutions, and the strength of family ties.

▼ The purpose of this critical qualitative study was to understand how
transition to
adulthood for young people with developmental disabilities (DD) is constituted as a ‘problem’ in policies and practices across sectors in Ontario and the implications for these young people and their parents. This
transition to
adulthood has been identified as a policy problem in three provincial government sectors in Ontario, Canada—rehabilitation, education, and developmental services. The problem is predominantly framed as a service
transition issue, particularly when young people ‘age out’ of pediatric health services by age 19 and public education by age 21, and seek adult-oriented programs and services.
Transition policies have been developed in each sector, shaped by both explicit and implicit understandings of key concepts, such as disability and
adulthood. These understandings function to constitute
transition as a particular kind of problem, and play a key role in what is considered and proposed to address it, but also what is not considered or potentially neglected or even ignored. What is and is not considered has implications for the health and daily lives of young disabled people and their families. Guided by a problem-questioning approach to policy analysis proposed by Carol Bacchi, I used a multimethod design, including analysis of three policy documents and in-depth interviews with 13 parents, to examine how
transition to
adulthood is constituted as a problem. My analysis revealed that normative assumptions about ways of being, becoming, and acting as an adult shaped an implied problem of disabled children and their inadequate progression to socially valued adult roles and activities. Policies shaped by these assumptions had both positive (e.g., feelings of self-worth for achieving or approximating socially valued roles and activities) and unintended negative effects (e.g., social exclusion, stress or anxiety when adult roles were not achieved) on young disabled people and their parents. These findings highlight opportunities for rethinking the policy problem in ways that can mitigate unintended harmful consequences on young people with DD and their families and for improving their health and daily life circumstances through healthy public policy and cross-sector coordination.

▼ The researcher examined the
transition from high school to
adulthood for people with moderate to severe disabilities. The researcher posed the question, ???What can parents do to assist their child with moderate to severe disabilities in the
transition from high school to
adulthood???? The purpose of the project included the assembly, design and production of a manual for parents to support them in assisting their child with a moderate to severe disability before, during, and after the
transition to
adulthood, in part through accessing the local regional and educational resources and services available in North County San Diego, CA. Activities are provided for the parents to utilize at home with their child to facilitate the
transition process. The three areas of the Individual
Transition Plan (ITP), which include education or training, employment, and independent living, as required by law, were addressed in the manual for parents. The method employed for creating the project were to examine current research, then determine areas of unmet needs, and finally to produce the
transition guide for parents. The resources determined to be most relevant to parents of children with moderate to severe disabilities were compiled and incorporated into the guide. The most relevant topics formulated the sections in the manual. The intended audience for the manual is parents of a child or children with moderate to severe disabilities in high school, however, Education Specialists, Counselors and other educators are encouraged to utilize this manual and to distribute to parents in their classrooms.

▼ The
transition to
adulthood has drastically changed in the last half century, with more young people delaying and remaking traditional markers of
adulthood. Young Black men from socioeconomically disadvantaged contexts, due to experiences of early trauma and adultification and sociostructural barriers to these markers, such as limited job opportunities and racial discrimination, are uniquely situated and may have very different pathways to
adulthood than their middle class peers.
The present study utilized semi-structured interviews to explore the lived experiences of young Black men (n=21) in the
transition to
adulthood. Drawing on a life course perspective and utilizing a modified grounded theory methodology, the study examines how early experiences of trauma and adultification, as well as individual’s perceptions of
adulthood, shaped the
transition to
adulthood. Implications for policy and future directions are explored.

▼ This dissertation identifies structural properties at the individual, dyadic, and cultural level that generate health and social behavior disparities in the lives of adolescents and young adults. The three studies of this dissertation
clarify causal mechanisms underlying sociological theories of structure and health by examining how perceptions of parental educational expectations, structural arrangements within friendship networks, and societal norms about moral codes impact
individuals’ health outcome. More specifically, these studies address three specific aims: (1) to explore the extent to which perceived malleability in parental educational expectations influence the long-term socio-emotional consequences of adolescents,
(2) to track and model the coevolution of adolescents’ friendship networks and their depression by studying depression homogeneity among boys and girls, and (3) to assess the role that culturally embedded moral principles play in shaping young adults’
impressions and reactions to transgression. This dissertation explores three markedly divergent conceptions of social structure: the psychological processes are principally concerned with the intrapersonal communication among selves; the network
perspectives give priority to interpersonal relationships among peers; and the cultural models highlights the normative beliefs that guide social actions. Yet these different approaches to the sociological study of structure and health are complementary
rather than contradictory. By taking a pluralistic structural approach, this dissertation integrates seemingly disparate literature through the studies of adolescents’ and young adults’ social relations, be it at the individual, group, or societal level;
by delving into the psychological, social, and cultural challenges in the lives of adolescents and young adults, this work gains thorough understandings of the multiple pathways through which health disparities are realized.
