A longitudinal, mixed methods study exploring the impact of civic engagement on psychosocial outcomes across early to mid adulthood
Civic engagement during emerging adulthood plays a pivotal role in fostering a sense of community responsibility, providing a sense of societal purpose, and contributes to improved psychological adjustment. In this mixed-method longitudinal study, we further explored how civic engagement and psychological adjustment codevelop across emerging adulthood. Participants were drawn from The Future's Study, a Canadian longitudinal study capturing the tr…
Older age as a time to contribute
Research on later-life generativity has promoted a new view of older persons that, far from the traditional images of disability, dependence and frailty, recognises their capacities, and potential to continue growing, while underlining their participation and contributions to families, communities and society. The goal of this study was to carry out a scoping review on later-life generativity, the first one conducted on this topic as far as we kn…
Trajectories of Youth's Helping From Adolescence into Adulthood
Helping behaviors (e.g., helping a sick friend, volunteering) are important forms of community involvement and likely change with age and life context. Yet, trajectories of community helping from adolescence through early adulthood have rarely been examined. It is also unclear how the roles of family, friends, and social attitudes might foster the development of helping behaviors across these years. We report on a study of community helping in a …
Meaning in Life Mediates the Association between Environmental Engagement and Loneliness
Although the positive outcomes of human-environment interactions have been established, research examining the motivation between engagement in pro-environmental activities and psychological well-being is limited. In this mixed-methods study, the relationship between pro-environmental engagement, meaning in life, and well-being, including loneliness and depression, were investigated in a sample of 112 young adults in Canada. It was found that eng…
The longitudinal influence of parenting and parents’ traces on narrative identity in young adulthood
This longitudinal follow-up studied continued effects of parental influences on narrative identity in young adulthood. Decades of research have shown the importance of parental shared reminiscing and positive parenting for the development of children's and youths' autobiographical memory and narrative identity. Yet, research on long-term influences of parenting on narrative indices in adulthood is scarce, even though parents' traces remain a part…
Development of Religious Identity and Commitment During Emerging Adulthood
Past research has found that religious commitment declines during emerging adulthood unless individuals make significant life commitments. A growing body of research has suggested that a resolution of religious commitment is related to personal identity development. In the present study, we examined religious belief and identity in relation to religious commitment during emerging and young adulthood longitudinally and using a mixed-methods approa…
Teens in Public Spaces and Natural Landscapes
This chapter investigates past and current perceptions of adolescents and how these perceptions influence policies and practices around the design of public spaces. It explores the need for and benefits associated with public spaces, including natural landscapes, for adolescents. The chapter positions adolescents as a distinct landscape user group with specific spatial needs and examines ways to incorporate teens’ developing needs, both physical …
On the quality of adjustment to retirement
OBJECTIVE: Although psychological factors have been explored in relation to other life transitions, their influence on retirement adjustment quality has been largely overlooked. This study assessed the contribution of personality traits and generativity before retirement in the prediction of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being at two temporal points after retirement. METHOD: This article analyzes data from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) l…
The life story from age 26 to 32
OBJECTIVE: In this longitudinal, mixed-methods project, the primary focus was to examine the rank-order stability and mean-level change in the life story during the period of emerging adulthood to young adulthood, while also investigating how the transition to parenthood may impact the life story. METHOD: Seventy-two participants described three key life story scenes at age 26 and again at 32 (28% attrition from age 26 to 32). The narratives were…
The codevelopment of community involvement and generative concern pathways in emerging and young adulthood
In this longitudinal Canadian study, we investigated the relationship between the developmental trajectories of community involvement and generative concern measured at ages 23, 26, and 32. Participants completed a questionnaire on youth involvement, the Youth Involvement Inventory (YII), and the Loyola Generativity Scale (LGS) at all 3 ages. A latent growth model (LGM) of community involvement predicting time-specific variance in the LGS reveale…
Community Involvement and Narrative Identity in Emerging and Young Adulthood
This study examines community engagement in youth and emerging adulthood from a narrative identity perspective, based on analyses of a longitudinal data set of 72 participants from ages 17 to 32. At ages 26 and 32, participants told narratives about a key community experience from their personal lives, which was rated for six dimensions. In addition, questionnaire measures of community involvement and general identity status development were admi…
The Authoritarian Personality in Emerging Adulthood
Three different methods (a standardized scale, an observer‐based Q‐sort, and content coding of narratives) were used to study the continuity of authoritarianism longitudinally in emerging and young adults. Authoritarianism was assessed in a Canadian sample ( N = 92) of men and women at ages 19 and 32 with A ltemeyer's (1996) Right‐Wing Authoritarianism ( RWA ) Scale. In addition, components of the authoritarian personality were assessed at age 26…
Generative Concern and Environmentalism
In a mixed-methods longitudinal study, we examined the relationship between Erikson’s construct of generativity, measured at ages 23 and 26, and environmentalism at age 32. Over a hundred Canadian youth completed a questionnaire that measured generative concerns. Environmentalism was assessed by questionnaires on involvement, identity, and attitudes, as well as through narratives about personal experiences with the environment. Narratives were co…
Caring for the Earth
Although some earlier research has highlighted both the importance of generativity and feelings of a close personal connection with nature for environmental engagement, the role of these factors has not been studied in a narrative identity context. Thus, in this study, the interrelationships among narrative and questionnaire features of environmental identity and generative concern were evaluated using a mixed methods design. Features of environm…

The position I argue in this article is simple: Intergenerational programs can be of great value in encouraging generativity in both younger and older adults. In turn, greater generativity can have
Environmentalism as a Context for Expressing Identity and Generativity
Previous qualitative studies have identified themes of generativity and identity development in the interviews of environmental activists (Chan, ; Horwitz, ), suggesting their importance as motives for environmental behavior. The purpose of our study was to extend this work by identifying positive relationships between identity maturity, generativity, and environmentalism using quantitative methodologies. To explore these relationships, we design…
Characteristics of Young Adults' Personal Religious Narratives and Their Relation with the Identity Status Model
This longitudinal study investigated precursors to the formation of the life story in the particular context of the religious self in young adulthood using qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Religious or spiritual peak experience narratives told by 100 Canadian young adults at age 26 were examined in relation to earlier religious beliefs and identity statuses at ages 17, 19, and 23. Coherent relationships over time between identity statu…
Parental Divorce and First-Year Students' Transition to University
This research examines parental divorce and first-year students' transition to university. Incoming students (N = 2,724) to six diverse universities completed questionnaires in August, before university, and again in November and March. Initial baseline measures indicated that females of divorced parents reported more depressive symptoms than females of intact families, whereas males of divorced parents reported lower levels of perceived stress t…
Intimacy in Young Adults' Narratives of Romance and Friendship Predicts Eriksonian Generativity
A quantitative and qualitative study tested Erikson's ego developmental hypotheses regarding the positive relationship between generativity and intimacy. At age 26, participants (N = 100) told 2 stories about "relationship-defining moments," one about a romantic partner, and another about a same-sex friend. Levels of relationship intimacy were coded from these narratives. "True love" and "true friendship" themes arose as the most prototypical, hi…

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways
In this longitudinal study, a quantitative and qualitative examination of the associations among parent-child relations, adult attachment styles, and relationship quality and theme in romantic narratives was conducted. Parenting and adult attachment style were assessed through questionnaires, whereas overall quality of romantic relationships (regard and importance), intimacy, and romantic story theme were examined with a life story approach (McAd…
Intimacy in young adults' narratives of romance and friendship predict Eriksonian generativity
A quantitative and qualitative study tested Erikson's ego developmental hypotheses regarding the positive relationship between generativity and intimacy. At age 26, participants (N = 100) told 2 stories about “relationship-defining moments,” one about a romantic partner, and another about a same-sex friend. Levels of relationship intimacy were coded from these narratives. “True love” and “true friendship” themes arose as the most prototypical, hi…
A Longitudinal Study of Breadth and Intensity of Activity Involvement and the Transition to University
We examined prospective relations between activity involvement and successful transitioning to university. A sample of 656 students from 6 Canadian universities completed questionnaires before beginning university and at the end of their first year. Breadth (number of different activity domains) and intensity (mean frequency) of activity involvement as well as changes in breadth and intensity, were examined jointly. Consistent with developmental …
Life's little (and big) lessons
A longitudinal study examined relations between 2 approaches to identity development: the identity status model and the narrative life story model. Turning point narratives were collected from emerging adults at age 23 years. Identity statuses were collected at several points across adolescence and emerging adulthood, as were measures of generativity and optimism. Narratives were coded for the sophistication of meaning-making reported, the event …
The Importance of Friends
In a study of new friendships and adjustment among 1st-year university students, students at six Canadian universities completed questionnaires that assessed the quality of new friendships and adjustment during their first academic year. In-depth, face-to-face interviews about students' new friendships were conducted with a subsample of these students. Results indicated a significant positive relation between quality of new friendships and adjust…
Community and political involvement in adolescence
What distinguishes adolescents who are active in community and political life from those who are not? In an attempt to answer this question, students in their last years of secondary school completed a measure of community and political activities, along with measures of parent and peer interactions, identity development, and adjustment. Cluster analysis of activities reported in the questionnaire identified 4 distinct groupings of adolescents: A…
Mothers and fathers teaching 3-year-olds
In this study we investigated variations in parental tutoring of children on the basis of Vygotsky's (1978) theorizing and the concept of parental scaffolding of children's learning. Twenty-four couples and their 3-year-old children participated. Mothers and fathers worked separately with the child on three difficult tasks: a block construction task, a matrix classification task, and a story retelling task. Parental interventions were classified …
Religious Fundamentalism and Religious Doubts
Sixty-eight university students were interviewed about their own and others' per- ceived religious doubts. These young adults included 33 high and 35 low religious fundamentalists, drawn from a larger survey study of 348 students. Content analyses of self-reported religious doubts suggested that low fundamentalists were more likely to question the underpinnings of religion, while high fundamentalists' doubts seemed to focus on concerns that other…
Social Support
Life transitions, such as university attendance, entail the reconstruction of relations between the individual and the environment. This study aimed to explore how perceptions of social support changed across time during the first semester of university, and how social support, coping strategies, and adjustment were interrelated among 390 first-year students in Beijing, China. Results indicated that overall levels of social support among students…
Adolescent Generativity
The purpose of the present study was to investigate developmental pathways to Erikson's (1959) construct of generativity, defined as care and concern for the next generation and traditionally viewed as important for midlife adults, in a late adolescent sample. A sample of 198 adolescents was followed three times over a 6‐year period, from ages 17 to 23. Questionnaire measures of generative concern, parenting style, community involvement, and pers…

A Longitudinal Analysis of Personal Values Socialization
There has been considerable study of the development of moral reasoning in adolescence within the cognitive–developmental paradigm, but less empirical attention to the development of moral valuing and motivation. In a two‐year longitudinal study, we examined the correlates of high‐school students’ endorsement of explicitly moral values as ideals for the self. Those who reported being involved in community helping activities at age 17 were subsequ…
Adolescent Identity Formation
Two studies investigated links between adolescents' attempts to deal with religious issues, in particular, religious doubt and identity development. Identity status was measured by the Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (Adams, Bennion, & Huh, 1989; Adams, Shea, & Fitch, 1979), which is based on crisis-exploration and commitment. Study 1 involved 132 university students, and Study 2 included 937 senior high school students. Identity achieve…
Cognitive Complexity of Expectations and Adjustment to University in the First Year
Expectations about university and subsequent adjustment in the first year were examined in a longitudinal study of the transition to university. Two hundred and twenty-six students (158 females and 68 males) completed a preuniversity questionnaire in the summer prior to beginning university, and another questionnaire in February of their first year. The preuniversity questionnaire contained measures that assessed perceived stress and the amount a…
Positive parenting in adolescence and its relation to low point narration and identity status in emerging adulthood
In this longitudinal study, we examined identity development using the life story model (McAdams, 2001), in addition to a traditional identity status approach, in order to explore the association between perceived parenting in adolescence and the subsequent quality of life story narration in emerging adulthood. Participants (N = 100) were given a battery of questionnaires at ages 17 and 26 years and were asked to narrate a story at age 26 about t…

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways
In this longitudinal study, a quantitative and qualitative examination of the associations among parent-child relations, adult attachment styles, and relationship quality and theme in romantic narratives was conducted. Parenting and adult attachment style were assessed through questionnaires, whereas overall quality of romantic relationships (regard and importance), intimacy, and romantic story theme were examined with a life story approach (McAd…
A Longitudinal Study of Religious Doubts in High School and Beyond
This questionnaire study of 939 senior high school students, and a follow-up of 336 of these people two years later, investigated a variety of issues related to religious doubts and their implications for adolescents' lives. Although average doubt levels were 'mild' as measured by the Religious Doubts scale, the greatest doubts were expressed based on religion's failure to make people 'better,' the claimed infallibility of scriptures, and pressur…
Predicting Adolescent Moral Reasoning from Family Climate
The climate of parental interactions with adolescents at 14 years of age, and its longitudinal prediction to adolescent moral reasoning at 16 years of age, was studied in 40 Canadian families. Three measures of family climate were obtained, including the authoritative parenting style construct of Baumrind, the transactive dialogue measure of Berkowitz and Gibbs, and a novel index of responsiveness to the “child’s voice” in the stories told by par…
Political Roles and the Complexity of Political Rhetoric
This research examined the complexity of political rhetoric of politicians in a policy-making and opposition role. Speeches by members of the government and opposition parties in the Canadian House of Commons from 1948 to 1988 were scored in terms of their integrative complexity, following the methods of Suedfeld and Tetlock (see Baker-Brown et al., 1986). Integratively complex communications are characterized by a recognition that more than one …

That's the way it was
It has been suggested that late adulthood represents a period particularly specialized for the transmission of information to younger generations (Mergler, Faust, & Goldstein, 1985). The present research was designed to explore this idea cross‐sectionally by studying the structure and quality of personal narratives produced by adults of varying ages. Personal narratives were obtained from 20 participants in each of three age ranges: 18–25, 26–55,…
Religious Versus Nonreligious Socialization
Two studies were carried out to assess possible links between religious and nonreligious socialization and adjustment. In Study 1, three questionnaires were administered to 216 students, before and during their first year at a small Canadian university. Comparisons were made among those raised in (a) "no religion," (b) mainline Protestant, (c) conservative Protestant, and (d) Catholic families. Our 11 measures of mental health and adjustment exhi…

Adolescents’ Stories of Decision Making in More and Less Authoritative Families
Two studies used a narrative methodology to test the prediction that adolescents from more authoritative homes would exhibit greater responsiveness to parents’ views than would others. In Study 1, 51 Canadian adolescents in two age groups completed an interview to determine their levels of responsiveness to the parental voice in their narratives about advice from parents about specific decisions. Results showed a significant positive correlation …

Triggering a Schema
Anderson and associates have demonstrated that the interpretation of ambiguous discourse is strongly influenced by general schemata determined by a reader's background and previous experience. In two experiments, we show that variations in paralinguistic stress cues, based upon Chafe's given-new and contrastiveness notions, can also influence which frameworks subjects use in comprehending Anderson's two ambiguous passages. This schematic triggeri…

Making Life Complicated
Two studies are reported which assess the proclivity of individuals to increase the integrative complexity of social, moral, or religious thinking when prompted to do so. We also examined the influence on complexity of topic area and respondents' religiosity. In both studies significant increases in complexity were obtained when participants were prompted to differentiate and integrate material, suggesting that an important distinction needs to b…

Thinking about parenting
This research examined reasoning about developmental problems over the life span and related it to cognitive style and parenting behaviors. In Study 1, we investigated 35 children's and adults' concepts of development (COD) stages (A. Sameroff & L. Feil, 1985). As hypothesized, stage scores were positively related to age and to 2 other developmental indexes. In Study 2, we observed 24 parents and their 5th-grade children. COD stage scores were po…
Age, Gender, and Parenting Style Variations in Mother-Adolescent Dialogues and Adolescent Reasoning about Political Issues
This study investigated parental socialization of adolescent political reasoning from a Vygotskian cognitive socialization perspective. Discussions between mothers and their adolescent sons or daughters were examined using a transactive dialogue system and were related to the adolescent's age and gender and to family parenting style. These discussions were predicted to influence the complexity of adolescents' subsequent reasoning about political …
