Applicant's Description: Our overarching goal is to identify and intensively study long-term patterns of continuity and change in adaptive functioning and severe psychopathology in a sample of 141 early midlife adults (ages 38-43), followed intensively for the past 24 years. These adults are drawn from two original adolescent cohorts whom we first assessed at age 14: psychiatrically hospitalized (non-psychotic) and demographically matched non-patient students. We have successfully obtained detailed data regarding the psychosocial development and functioning of this sample into their young adult years. The original samples are remarkably intact: 98 percent of those still living again assessed at age 25; and in the late young adult phase, 94 percent have already been assessed. In the proposed new phase of our project, we address the frequently neglected early midlife years (ages 38-43), examining long-term predictors of continuity and discontinuity of psychosocial adaptation. We plan to measure- through a multi-method, multi-reporter approach-life course antecedents of psychopathology and successful adaptation to three major challenges of midlife: sustaining satisfying relationships with partners and peers; providing competent parenting; and, maintaining a positive career trajectory. These midlife challenges will be pursued through four specific aims: 1. Antecedents of psychopathology and global functioning through midlife; 2. predictors of the quality of midlife social relationships; 3. Parenting in midlife; 4. Work in midlife-developing career trajectories. The proposed study is a new step in this longitudinal project, focusing on continuity from adolescence through adulthood from the vantage point of adaptation in midlife-relevant social contexts. We have a unique opportunity to now investigate long-term life course development, in highly intact, high-risk and low-risk samples. Such an extraordinary chance to look, through developmental and psychiatric lenses, at life course trajectories from adolescence to midlife is facilitated by the demanding, time-intensive tracking and assessment of this sample at critical points in development over the past two decades. Our analyses of predictors of life course development in psychopathology and functioning will proceed from the simple to the complex, and will include traditional repeated measures models followed by latent growth curve modeling.

申请人的描述：我们的总体目标是识别和深入 研究自适应功能的连续性和变化的长期模式 141名中年成年人（38-43岁）样本中的严重心理病理学， 在过去的24年中，紧随其后。这些成年人来自两个 我们在14岁时首次评估的原始青少年队列：精神上 住院（非精神病）和人口统计学匹配的非患者学生。 我们已经成功获得了有关社会心理的详细数据 将该样本的开发和运作到他们的年轻人年。这 原始样本非常完整：仍有98％的仍然居住的人 在25岁时评估；在年轻的成年阶段，已经有94％ 被评估。 在我们项目的拟议新阶段，我们解决了经常被忽视的 中年早期（38-43岁），检查连续性的长期预测指标 和社会心理适应的不连续性。我们计划通过 多方法，多重携带者进近生活课程的前提 心理病理学和成功适应中年的三个主要挑战： 维持与伴侣和同龄人的满意关系；提供 合格的育儿；并保持积极的职业轨迹。这些 中年挑战将通过四个特定目标来提出：1。 通过中年的心理病理学和全球功能； 2。预测指标 中年社会关系的质量； 3。中年的育儿； 4。工作 中年发展的职业轨迹。 拟议的研究是这个纵向项目的新步骤，重点是 从青春期到成年的连续性 适应与中年相关的社会环境。我们有一个独特的机会 现在研究长期的生活课程发展，高危高风险 和低风险样品。如此奇妙的机会，通过 发育和精神镜头，在生活课程轨迹上 苛刻的，耗时的跟踪促进了青春期到中年的青春期 并在过去的关键点上评估该样本 二十年。我们对生命过程发展预测指标的分析 心理病理学和功能将从简单到复杂的发展， 并将包括传统的重复措施模型，然后是潜在的增长 曲线建模。
