项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Forming satisfying intimate relationships and establishing oneself in the world of work are key tasks of young adulthood. Although success in these endeavors has significant implications for health and well- being across the lifespan, today's young adults face these tasks at a time of dramatic economic decline and uncertainty. This project builds on two longitudinal studies, one beginning in middle childhood and one in adolescence, to examine how parents and siblings promote young adults' development and adjustment in the domains of love and work. The Family Relationships Project has followed approximately 200, two- parent, working and middle class, European American families for about 10 years, since firstborn siblings were about 10, and secondborns, about 8 years of age. The Juntos Project studied 246, two-parent, working and middle class, Mexican American families when older siblings averaged 15, and younger siblings averaged about 12 years of age. We propose to collect two additional waves of data from mothers, fathers, and two young adult siblings in each family, as well as from young adults' romantic partners, when young adults are in their 20s. Data collection will focus on young adults' expectations and choices about romantic relationships, education, and work as well as their psycho-social adjustment to work and family roles. Analyses will be directed at identifying links between early family experiences and young adults' love and work roles, and at assessing the ways in which family supports and stressors moderate those linkages in European and Mexican American families. Analyses also are directed at the role of child effects in early family dynamics, and ultimately in young adults' choices about and adjustment to their work and family roles. In addition, comparable data on two siblings from each family allow us to examine nonshared family processes and to address the question of why two children growing up in the same family have similar, or markedly different, developmental trajectories and young adult outcomes. Together, our findings will illuminate how families work as socialization systems in development across adolescence and into young adulthood within two distinct cultural settings. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This study is a follow-up of about 200 European American and about 245 Mexican American two-parent families with at least two offspring that we have studied since the target youth in those families were in middle childhood and adolescence. The overarching goal is to learn how family relationship experiences in childhood and adolescence are linked to young adults' development and adjustment in the domains of love and work. These two domains are central to young adult development, and the choices young women and men make about their intimate relationships and occupations will have implications for their psychosocial and physical well-being throughout adult life.

描述（由申请人提供）：建立满足亲密关系并在工作世界中建立自己是年轻成年的关键任务。尽管在这些努力中的成功对整个生命周期的健康和福祉都具有重大影响，但今天的年轻人在经济下降和不确定性急剧下面临这些任务。该项目建立在两项纵向研究的基础上，一个从童年中期开始，一个从青春期开始，以研究父母和兄弟姐妹如何促进年轻人在爱与工作领域的发展和调整。自从长大的兄弟姐妹大约10岁以来，家庭关系项目已大约有200个父母，工作和中产阶级，中产阶级，欧美家庭约10年，大约8岁。该Juntos项目研究了246个，两父母，工作和中产阶级，墨西哥裔美国家庭平均15岁，较年轻的兄弟姐妹平均约12岁。我们建议从每个家庭中的母亲，父亲和两个年轻的兄弟姐妹以及年轻人20多岁的年轻人的浪漫伴侣那里收集两次数据浪潮。数据收集将集中于年轻人对浪漫关系，教育和工作以及对工作和家庭角色的心理社会调整的期望和选择。分析将旨在确定早期家庭经历与年轻人的爱与工作角色之间的联系，并评估家庭支持和压力源在欧洲和墨西哥裔美国家庭中的联系方式。分析还针对儿童效应在早期家庭动态中的作用，最终在年轻人对他们的工作和家庭角色的选择和调整中。此外，每个家庭的两个兄弟姐妹的可比数据使我们能够检查非避难所的家庭过程，并解决了为什么在同一家庭中成长的两个孩子具有相似或明显不同的发展轨迹和年轻成人结果的问题。我们的发现将共同阐明家庭如何在两个不同的文化环境中成为整个青春期和成年的社会化系统的工作方式。公共卫生相关性：这项研究是对大约200名欧洲裔美国人和大约245个墨西哥裔美国人两父母家庭的后续措施，这些家庭至少有两个后代，因为这些家庭的年轻人在这些家庭中的青年处于中年和青春期。总体目标是了解童年和青春期的家庭关系经历如何与年轻人在爱与工作领域的发展和调整有关。这两个领域是年轻成人发展的核心，而年轻男女对自己的亲密关系和职业做出的选择将对整个成年人的社会心理和身体健康产生影响。
