DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The research proposal, "Transitions in Emerging Adulthood among Minority Youth," is designed to enhance the applicant's academic career opportunities in the field of Human Development by identifying three broad objectives: 1) Develop proficiency in qualitative data analysis and mixed-methods techniques; 2) Advance conceptual knowledge related to the transition from adolescence to early adulthood for minority youth; and 3) Build a record of publications. These objectives will be fulfilled through work on an ongoing longitudinal ethnographic investigation focusing on family, community, and cultural factors related to high-school academic achievement and the post-high school transition to adulthood. The present proposal focuses primarily on the follow-up research study focusing on the transition to adulthood among 81 youth from working and lower-middle class families in three ethnic groups living in the U.S.: African-American, Belizean Creole, and Belizean Gadfuna. The applicant will analyze a large body of in-depth interviews using qualitative methods and write four research articles to achieve the following aims: 1) Describe developmental pathways across the study sample and investigate familial, cultural, and community factors related to pathway choices in emerging adulthood; 2) Examine commitment versus exploration in the transition process, both in work/career development and in personal relationships, and associations with mental health indicators; 3) Examine the role of family emotional and instrumental support in the pursuit of employment and educational goals and in promoting mental health and well being; 4) Examine effects of employment during high school on the post-high school transition.

描述（由申请人提供）：研究提案“少数族裔青年的成年期转变”旨在通过确定三个主要目标来增强申请人在人类发展领域的学术职业机会：1）培养定性数据分析的熟练程度和混合方法技术； 2) 提高少数民族青年从青春期到成年早期过渡的概念知识； 3) 建立出版物记录。 这些目标将通过正在进行的纵向民族志调查来实现，该调查重点关注与高中学业成绩和高中后向成年过渡相关的家庭、社区和文化因素。本提案主要关注后续研究，重点关注居住在美国的三个族裔群体（非裔美国人、伯利兹克里奥尔人和伯利兹加德富纳人）的 81 名来自工薪阶层和中下阶层家庭的年轻人向成年的过渡。申请人将使用定性方法分析大量深入访谈，并撰写四篇研究文章，以实现以下目标：1）描述研究样本的发展路径，并调查与新兴市场路径选择相关的家庭、文化和社区因素成年期； 2）检查转型过程中的承诺与探索，两者都在 工作/职业发展和人际关系，以及与心理健康指标的关联； 3）审查家庭情感和工具支持在追求就业和教育目标以及促进心理健康和福祉方面的作用； 4）检验高中期间就业对高中后过渡的影响。
