DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This competing continuation application examines a developmental model of adolescents' peer and family experiences as predictors of long-term psychosocial outcomes in adulthood. We propose to follow a diverse community sample of 172 adolescents, their parents, peers, and romantic partners from ages 13 to 27. We focus upon two stage-salient tasks of adolescence establishing autonomy and maintaining and building social bonds and hypothesize that the resolution of these tasks will be fundamental to understanding qualities of adult psychosocial functioning. We also assess important cognitive, affective, and contextual factors that may mediate continuities and discontinuities from adolescent to adult relationship quality and that may potentially serve as targets for intervention efforts. We organize our efforts into three primary Aims: Aim 1: Parent and Peer Predictors of Adult Relationship Quality: We begin by seeking to identify critical continuities in adolescent relationship qualities that persist into early adulthood. We focus upon predictors of aspects of adult relationships particularly social isolation and hostility known to be closely linked to both mental and physical health. Aim 2: Mediators & Moderators of Continuities and Discontinuities from Adolescence to Adulthood: We next examine several processes that potentially mediate the continuities or account for the discontinuities identified in Aim 1. We focus on three specific factors: the individual's attachment organization, rejection sensitivity, and major developmental/contextual transitions. Aim 3: Early Adult Adaptational Outcomes: Direct & Mediated Pathways from Adolescence: Finally, we consider adolescent-era predictors of internalizing and externalizing symptoms in adulthood and of the development of functional autonomy the capacity to manage one's own career, financial, and residential needs. We assess both direct predictions from adolescent relationship qualities across this fifteen-year span, as well as predictions mediated via adult relationship qualities (Aim 1) and intervening factors (Aim 2). This study builds on the vast body of research that has examined relational predictors of functioning within adolescence but now seeks to extend and ground this research by determining which of the many qualities of social relationships that have been identified as important within adolescence are actually predictive of long-term, life outcomes in adulthood. As such, it seeks to inform: a) parents, educators, and clinicians working with adolescents and early adults; b) interventions targeting parenting behaviors and/or peer influences (e.g., delinquency, aggression, and substance abuse prevention and treatment programs); and c) developing theories of the links between social relationships and functional outcomes across this critical portion of the lifespan. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This study seeks to identify essential qualities of adolescents' relationships with peers and parents that predict long-term success or failure in adult psychological functioning. It is designed to provide knowledge that will ultimately reduce the incidence of both externalizing symptoms (e.g., delinquency, aggression, substance abuse) and internalizing symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety, social isolation) in late adolescence and early adulthood by informing: a) parents, educators, and clinicians working with adolescents and early adults; b) interventions targeting parenting behaviors and/or peer influences (e.g., delinquency, aggression, and substance abuse prevention and treatment programs); and c) developing theories of the links between social relationships and functional outcomes across this critical portion of the lifespan.

描述（由申请人提供）：此竞争性持续申请研究了青少年的同伴和家庭经历的发展模型，作为成年后长期社会心理结局的预测指标。我们建议遵循172名青少年，他们的父母，同龄人和浪漫伴侣的各种社区样本。我们关注的是两个阶段的青春期任务，以建立自治，并维持和建立社会纽带，并假设这些任务的解决将是理解成人心理社会功能的品质的基础。我们还评估了重要的认知，情感和背景因素，这些因素可能会介导从青少年到成人关系质量的连续性和不连续性，并且可能有可能作为干预工作的目标。我们将努力组织成三个主要目标：目标1：成人关系质量的父母和同伴预测指标：我们首先寻求确定持续到成年初的青少年关系质量的关键连续性。我们专注于成人关系方面的预测指标，特别是社会隔离和已知与心理和身体健康密切相关的敌意。 AIM 2：从青春期到成年的连续性和不连续性的调解人和主持人：接下来，我们研究几个可能介导的连续性或解决目标1中的不连续性的过程。我们关注三个特定因素：个人的依恋组织，拒绝敏感性，重大的发展敏感性以及重大的发展/背景过渡。 AIM 3：早期成人适应性结果：青春期的直接和介导途径：最后，我们考虑了青少年时代的预测指标，这些预测指标是成年后的内在化和外部化症状的预测指标，以及功能自治的发展能力来管理自己的职业，财务和住宅需求。我们评估了整个15年中青少年关系质量的直接预测，以及通过成人关系质量（AIM 1）和中间因素（AIM 2）介导的预测。这项研究以大量研究为基础，这些研究已经检查了青春期内功能的关系预测指标，但现在试图通过确定在青春期内被确定为重要的社会关系的众多品质中的哪些质量实际上可以预测长期的长期，成年后的生活结果。因此，它试图告知：a）父母，教育者和临床医生与青少年和早期成人一起工作； b）针对育儿行为和/或同伴影响的干预措施（例如犯罪，侵略和滥用药物预防和治疗计划）； c）在整个生命周期的关键部分之间发展社会关系与功能结果之间的联系的理论。公共卫生相关性：本研究旨在确定青少年与同龄人和父母的关系的基本品质，这些关系可以预测成人心理功能的长期成功或失败。它旨在提供知识，这些知识最终将在青春期和成年期间通过： b）针对育儿行为和/或同伴影响的干预措施（例如犯罪，侵略和滥用药物预防和治疗计划）； c）在整个生命周期的关键部分之间发展社会关系与功能结果之间的联系的理论。
