Parental divorce
Using an archival prospective design, the authors studied associations among parental divorce occurring during participants' childhood, adult psychosocial mediators, and mortality over the life span of a subgroup of participants (N = 1,261) in the Terman Life Cycle Study (1921-1991). Children from divorced families grew up to show a higher risk of premature mortality across the life span. The higher mortality risk for men was explained, in part, …
Psychosocial and behavioral predictors of longevity
Impulsive, undercontrolled personalities and major family stresses are known predictors of impaired adjustment, but long-term health effects are unclear. In an archival prospective cohort design, we followed up on L. M. Terman's (Terman & Oden, 1947) sample of gifted children by collecting and coding death certificates for the half of the sample that is now dead. Statistical survival analyses were used to predict longevity and cause of death as a…
Psychosocial and behavioral predictors of longevity
Sociodemographic and psychosocial factors in childhood as predictors of adult mortality
OBJECTIVES: Childhood sociodemographic, psychosocial, and environmental factors are often assumed to affect adult health and longevity. These relationships were prospectively tested by using the 7-decade Terman Life Cycle Study of Children With High Ability (n = 1285). METHODS: Parental socioeconomic status, childhood health, objective childhood stressors (e.g., death or divorce of parents), and childhood personality were considered as potential …
Childhood conscientiousness and longevity
Is breast-feeding in infancy associated with adult longevity
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of the study was to determine whether breast-feeding is associated with increased longevity or cause-specific survival. METHODS. Teachers throughout California identified intellectually gifted children as part of a prospective study begun in the 1920s by Lewis Terman. Information on breast-feeding was available on 1170 subjects, who have been followed for more than 65 years. RESULTS. Survival analysis (Cox proportional haz…
Does childhood personality predict longevity
Key models relating personality and health predict that personality in childhood is indicative of later health and longevity. Longevity predictions are tested using data derived from the 7-decade longitudinal study initiated by L. M. Terman 1921 (L. M. Terman & M. H. Oden, 1947). Variables representing major dimensions of personality are used in statistical survival analyses of longevity in 1,178 males and females. Conscientiousness in childhood …
The context of suicide
An analysis of eight cases of female suicide, drawn from Terman's Genetic Study of Genius sample, found little foreshadowing of suicide in the subjects' childhood and adolescence, absence of paternal involvement and concomitantly strong maternal influence, somatization of problems, perceived lack of accomplishment, and diminished sense of self-esteem in adulthood. Comparisons with male suicides in the Terman sample are discussed
Hemispheric changes in information processing during development
Hemispheric processing of visually presented words and pictures was examined in three groups of subjects with mean ages of 8 years 8 months, 12 years 3 months, and 27 years 9 months. Pictorial or symbolic stimuli were presented singly to either the right or left visual hemifield. Subjects had to decide whether the first stimulus in a pair matched the second stimulus. The major results were that (a) age groups differed in the strength of lateral d…
