  • Risk of adolescent cigarette use in three UK birth cohorts before and after e-cigarettes

    Jessica M Mongilio, J Staff et al.•ARTICLE•Tobacco Control•2025

    Adolescents who use e-cigarettes have a similar smoking prevalence to earlier generations. Policy and prevention should seek to prevent adolescent nicotine exposure via both electronic and combustible cigarettes

  • Policy influences on adolescent risk perceptions of vaping

    B C Kelly, M Vuolo et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2025•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 35

    AIMS: Electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) use by youth remains a significant public health concern. Perceived risk is an important predictor of adolescent ENDS use. While state policies have been shown to affect ENDS use, and perceived risk is inversely associated with use, whether policies shape adolescent risk perceptions remains less well studied. METHODS: We used longitudinal (2013-2019) US adolescent data from the Population Assessmen…

  • The countervailing impacts of significant 2020 events on youth delinquency

    Open Access•Eric P Baumer, J Staff•ARTICLE•Criminology•2025•Referencias: 103

    We test hypotheses that three significant events in the year 2020 impacted U.S. youths’ involvement in crime: (H1) less delinquency due to the coronavirus‐19 (COVID‐19) pandemic and associated constraints to youths’ routine activities and substance use; (H2) more delinquency due to the police killing of George Floyd and ensuing social unrest, particularly among Black youth from communities disproportionately affected by police violence; and (H3) …

  • Patterns, clusters, and transitions in U.S. state ENDS policy implementation

    Open Access•Callie Zaborenko, M Vuolo et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2024

    Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), such as e-cigarettes, have become increasingly used across the world. To respond to global public health challenges associated with vaping, governments have implemented numerous ENDS policies. This research highlights the patterns, clustering, and transitions in U.S. state ENDS policy implementation from 2010 to 2020. Policy data for tobacco and ENDS policies primarily from the Americans for Nonsmokers…

  • Taking the long view of adolescent work quality

    Open Access•J Staff, Jeylan T Mortimer•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2024•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 6

    Following Schulenberg's research on teenage employment and vocational development, we ask to what extent do job dimensions reflecting the quality of work experience during mid-adolescence (e.g., work stress, autonomy, learning and advancement opportunities, hourly pay, wage satisfaction, and work hours) predict the same work experiences during the ensuing occupational career? Using longitudinal data from the Youth Development Study (N = 711 indiv…

  • The Sexual Double Standard and Adolescent Stigma

    Open Access•Derek A Kreager, J Staff et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Sex Research•2024•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 5

    This study applied a sociometric approach to examine the traditional sexual double standard within a sample of Dutch adolescents (N = 1,175; 53.8% females; Mage = 14.75). Drawing on script theory and the key concept of social stigma, this study examined associations between self-reported sexual partnerships and three measures of peer preference: (1) received friendship nominations, (2) peer dislike nominations, and (3) perceived popularity. Resul…

  • Work Experience and Mental Health from Adolescence to Mid-Life

    Open Access•J Staff, Jeylan T Mortimer•ARTICLE•Social Forces•2024•Referencias: 55

    The etiology of psychological differences among those who pursue distinct lines of work have long been of scholarly interest. A prevalent early and continuing assumption is that experiences on the job influence psychological development; contemporary analysts focus on dimensions indicative of mental health. Still, such work-related psychological differences may instead be attributable to selection processes to the extent that individuals can choo…

  • E-cigarette use among early adolescent tobacco cigarette smokers

    B C Kelly, M Vuolo et al.•ARTICLE•Tobacco Control•2023

    Despite national differences in e-cigarette regulation and marketing, there is evidence e-cigarette use among early adolescent smokers in the UK and USA leads to higher odds of any smoking and more frequent tobacco cigarette use later in adolescence

  • The destabilization and destandardization of social roles across the adult life course

    Open Access•Justin Jager, Amy J Rauer et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2022•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 8

    Existing research focused on social role destabilization (historical increases in role instability) and destandardization (historical increases in variability of role instability) has primarily focused on discrete social roles during discrete periods of development. Building on this work, we applied a macro approach to elucidate the extent to which historical trends toward destabilization and destandardization are occurring at the aggregate among…

  • Pubertal Timing and Adolescent Alcohol Use

    Open Access•Rebecca Bucci, J Staff et al.•ARTICLE•Child Development•2021

    Using intergenerational, prospective data at ages 9 months, 7, 11, and 14 years from the nationally representative United Kingdom Millennium Cohort Study, this interdisciplinary study unpacks why 14-year-old adolescents with early perceived pubertal timing (PT) were more likely to drink alcohol (ever, frequent, and binge drinking) compared to those whose PT was on-time or late (5,757 girls, 5,799 boys; 80% White, 10% Asian, 3% Black, and 7% Other…

  • Uncertain Adolescent Educational Expectations and College Matriculation in the Wake of the Great Recession

    Brittany N Freelin, J Staff•ARTICLE•Sociological Quarterly•2021•Citada por: 6•Referencias: 25

    Though contemporary adolescents in the United States have ambitious educational goals, a sizable number of youth express uncertainty about their future educational attainment. Using data from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (n=17,340), we investigate whether uncertainty in educational expectations in adolescence is associated with college matriculation and dropout. Approximately 21% of youth expressed uncertainty about their future edu…

  • Pubertal timing and adolescent delinquency

    Open Access•Rebecca Bucci, J Staff•ARTICLE•Criminology•2020•Citada por: 8•Referencias: 94

    Early pubertal timing (PT) increases the risk of adolescent delinquency, whereas late development reduces this risk; however, the mechanisms explaining PT effects on delinquency remain elusive. Theoretically, the PT–delinquency relationship is as a result of changes in parental supervision, peer affiliations, and body‐image perceptions or is a spurious reflection of early life risk factors. Using intergenerational data from the Millennium Cohort …

  • Is Adolescent Employment Still a Risk Factor for High School Dropout

    Open Access•J Staff, Alyssa M Yetter et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2019•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 6

    Past cohorts of teenagers who spent long hours in jobs were more likely to drop out of high school than those who worked moderate hours or did not work at all. This article examines the association between employment intensity and dropout among adolescents in the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 who traversed high school during a time of decreased prevalence of both employment and dropout relative to earlier cohorts. Analyses reveal that a …

  • Unemployment, Parental Help, and Self-Efficacy During the Transition to Adulthood

    Open Access•Jeylan T Mortimer, Minzee Kim et al.•ARTICLE•Work and Occupations•2016•Citada por: 16•Referencias: 26

    Youth unemployment reduces the capacity to achieve diverse markers of adulthood, potentially undermining the young adult's sense of confidence and independence. While parents often come to the aid of their unemployed young adult children, such support may also have negative psychological repercussions. Applying a hierarchical modeling strategy to longitudinal data from the Youth Development Study, the authors find that both unemployment and paren…

  • Early Life Risks, Antisocial Tendencies, and Preteen Delinquency

    Open Access•J Staff, Corey Whichard et al.•ARTICLE•Criminology•2015•Citada por: 12•Referencias: 55

    Early age‐of‐onset delinquency and substance use confer a major risk for continued criminality, alcohol and drug abuse, and other serious difficulties throughout the life course. Our objective is to examine the developmental roots of preteen delinquency and substance use. By using nationally representative longitudinal data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study ( N = 13,221), we examine the influence of early childhood developmental and family risk…

  • Explaining the Association Between Incarceration and Divorce

    Open Access•Sonja E Siennick, Eric A Stewart et al.•ARTICLE•Criminology•2014•Citada por: 33•Referencias: 57

    Recent studies have suggested that incarceration dramatically increases the odds of divorce, but we know little about the mechanisms that explain the association. This study uses prospective longitudinal data from a subset of married young adults in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (N = 1,919) to examine whether incarceration is associated with divorce indirectly via low marital love, economic strain, relationship violence, an…

  • Adolescent Precursors of Pathways From School to Work

    Open Access•M Vuolo, Jeylan T Mortimer et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2013•Citada por: 16•Referencias: 12

    Longitudinal data from the Youth Development Study is used to examine: (1) how young people establish work with self-identified career potential and how these patterns are linked to educational attainments; and (2) how adolescent achievement orientations, experiences in school and work, and sociodemographic background distinguish youth who establish themselves in careers and those who flounder during this transition. Multilevel latent class model…

  • Adolescent work intensity, school performance, and substance use

    Jerald G Bachman, J Staff et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2013•Citada por: 9•Referencias: 6

    High school students who spend long hours in paid employment during the school year are at increased risk of lower grades and higher substance use, although questions remain about whether these linkages reflect causation or prior differences (selection effects). Questions also remain about whether such associations vary by socioeconomic status (SES) and race/ethnicity. This study examines those questions using nationally representative data from …

  • Explaining the Motherhood Wage Penalty During the Early Occupational Career

    Open Access•J Staff, Jeylan T Mortimer•ARTICLE•Demography•2012•Citada por: 27•Referencias: 46

    Prior research shows that mothers earn lower hourly wages than women without children, and that this maternal wage penalty cannot be fully explained by differences between mothers and other women in work experience and job characteristics. This research examines whether the residual motherhood wage penalty results from differences between mothers and other women in the accumulation of work interruptions and breaks in schooling. Using longitudinal…

  • The Sexual Double Standard and Adolescent Peer Acceptance

    Open Access•Derek A Kreager, J Staff•ARTICLE•Social Psychology Quarterly•2009•Citada por: 50•Referencias: 43

    The belief that women and men are held to different standards of sexual conduct is pervasive in contemporary American society. According to the sexual double standard, boys and men are rewarded and praised for heterosexual sexual contacts, whereas girls and women are derogated and stigmatized for similar behaviors. Although widely held by the general public, research findings on the sexual double standard remain equivocal, with qualitative studie…

  • Weathering the great recession

    M Vuolo, J Staff et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2012•Citada por: 28•Referencias: 10

    Studies of career development highlight the importance of finding a good "fit" between individual values, needs, and abilities and the experiences and rewards to be found in particular occupations. Rapid economic change and labor market turbulence make career choice and development life-long processes. Still, early careers are particularly unstable, as young workers move from "survival jobs" to "career jobs" in their quest for a good person-job f…

The findings indicate that the feedback that adolescents receive in the form of grades does not affect their delinquent behavior, that academic perf…

  • Educational and Work Strategies from Adolescence to Early Adulthood

    J Staff, Jeylan T Mortimer•ARTICLE•Social Forces•2007•Citada por: 25

    Whereas sociologists have long recognized that adolescence marks the start of the socioeconomic career, the importance of this period has been attributed to school performance, aspirations, and significant others' influence that support educational attainment to a greater or lesser degree. The underlying premise of this study is that adolescent work is an expression of instrumental action with consequences for socioeconomic attainment. Using data…

  • Explaining the Relationship Between Employment and Juvenile Delinquency

    Open Access•J Staff, D Wayne Osgood et al.•ARTICLE•Criminology•2010•Citada por: 23•Referencias: 35

    Most criminological theories predict an inverse relationship between employment and crime, but teenagers' involvement in paid work during the school year is correlated positively with delinquency and substance use. Whether the work–delinquency association is causal or spurious has been debated for a long time. This study estimates the effect of paid work on juvenile delinquency using longitudinal data from the national Monitoring the Future proje…

    Open Access•Jennifer C Lee, J Staff•ARTICLE•Sociology of Education•2007•Citada por: 22•Referencias: 27

    While the association between teenagers' work and academic performance continues to be debated in studies of adolescent employment, many researchers have found that 'intensive' involvement in paid work increases the risk of high school dropout. It is still unclear, however, whether this relationship is spurious owing to preexisting differences in socioeconomic background, school performance, aspirations, and orientations toward work and school. U…

  • Too Cool for School? Violence, Peer Status and High School Dropout

    J Staff, Derek A Kreager•ARTICLE•Social Forces•2008•Citada por: 21

    Research shows that peer status in adolescence is positively associated with school achievement and adjustment. However, subculture theories of juvenile delinquency and school-based ethnographies suggest that (1) disadvantaged boys are often able to gain some forms of peer status through violence and (2) membership in violent groups undermines educational attainment. Building on these ideas, we use peer network data from the National Longitudinal…

  • Early Occupational Aspirations and Fractured Transitions

    Open Access•Scott Yate, Angel L Harris et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Policy•2011•Citada por: 18•Referencias: 20

    There has been significant recent research and policy interest in issues of young people's occupational aspirations, transitions to employment and the antecedents of NEET (not in employment, education or training) status. Many have argued that changes to the youth labour market over the past 30 years have led to transitions to work becoming more individualised, complex and troublesome for many, particularly those from poorer backgrounds. However,…

    Why do delinquent youths complete less education than do their conventional peers? Theory and research in criminology and in the sociology of education suggest that two aspects of youths' commitment to education, their future goals and their behavioral investments in those goals, may explain the delinquency‐education relationship, but only when considered jointly. Using panel data from the National Education Longitudinal Study, we find that educa…

    Teenagers working more than 20 hours per week perform worse in school than youth who work less.

  • The Impact of Sexual Harassment on Depressive Symptoms during the Early Occupational Career

    Open Access•Jason N Houle, J Staff et al.•ARTICLE•Society and Mental Health•2011

    Sexual harassment has been theorized as a stressor with consequences for the physical and mental health of its targets. Although social scientists have documented a negative association between sexual harassment and mental health, few longitudinal studies have investigated the association between sexual harassment and depressive symptoms. Using longitudinal survey data from the Youth Development Study, combined with in-depth interviews, this arti…

  • Adolescent Work Experiences and Family Formation Behavior

    Open Access•J Staff, Matthew Vaneseltine et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2011•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 8

    A long‐standing critique of adolescent employment is that it engenders a precocious maturity of more adult‐like roles and behaviors, including school disengagement, substance use, sexual activity, inadequate sleep and exercise, and work‐related stress. Though negative effects of high‐intensity work on adolescent adjustment have been found, little research has addressed whether such work experiences are associated with precocious family formation …

  • Ambition Gone Awry

    Open Access•Ricardo Sabates, Angel L Harris et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science Quarterly•2011•Citada por: 11•Referencias: 18

    OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate whether misaligned or uncertain ambitions in adolescence influence the process of socioeconomic attainment. METHODS: Using 34 years of longitudinal data from the British Cohort Study (BCS70), we considered whether youth with (1) misaligned ambitions (i.e., those who either over- or underestimate the level of education required for their desired occupation), (2) both low occupational aspira…

  • Twelfth-grade student work intensity linked to later educational attainment and substance use

    Jerald G Bachman, J Staff et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2011•Citada por: 13•Referencias: 8

    Long hours of paid employment during high school have been linked to a variety of problem behaviors, but questions remain about whether and to what extent work intensity makes any causal contribution. This study addresses those questions by focusing on how 12th-grade work intensity is associated with substance use and educational attainment in the years following high school. It uses 2 nationally representative longitudinal data sets from the Mon…

  • Early Occupational Aspirations and Fractured Transitions

    Open Access•Scott Yate, Angel L Harris et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Policy•2011•Citada por: 18•Referencias: 20

    There has been significant recent research and policy interest in issues of young people's occupational aspirations, transitions to employment and the antecedents of NEET (not in employment, education or training) status. Many have argued that changes to the youth labour market over the past 30 years have led to transitions to work becoming more individualised, complex and troublesome for many, particularly those from poorer backgrounds. However,…

  • Explaining the Motherhood Wage Penalty During the Early Occupational Career

    Open Access•J Staff, Jeylan T Mortimer•ARTICLE•Demography•2012•Citada por: 27•Referencias: 46

    Prior research shows that mothers earn lower hourly wages than women without children, and that this maternal wage penalty cannot be fully explained by differences between mothers and other women in work experience and job characteristics. This research examines whether the residual motherhood wage penalty results from differences between mothers and other women in the accumulation of work interruptions and breaks in schooling. Using longitudinal…

  • Weathering the great recession

    M Vuolo, J Staff et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2012•Citada por: 28•Referencias: 10

    Studies of career development highlight the importance of finding a good "fit" between individual values, needs, and abilities and the experiences and rewards to be found in particular occupations. Rapid economic change and labor market turbulence make career choice and development life-long processes. Still, early careers are particularly unstable, as young workers move from "survival jobs" to "career jobs" in their quest for a good person-job f…

  • Adolescent Precursors of Pathways From School to Work

    Open Access•M Vuolo, Jeylan T Mortimer et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2013•Citada por: 16•Referencias: 12

    Longitudinal data from the Youth Development Study is used to examine: (1) how young people establish work with self-identified career potential and how these patterns are linked to educational attainments; and (2) how adolescent achievement orientations, experiences in school and work, and sociodemographic background distinguish youth who establish themselves in careers and those who flounder during this transition. Multilevel latent class model…

  • Adolescent work intensity, school performance, and substance use

    Jerald G Bachman, J Staff et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2013•Citada por: 9•Referencias: 6

    High school students who spend long hours in paid employment during the school year are at increased risk of lower grades and higher substance use, although questions remain about whether these linkages reflect causation or prior differences (selection effects). Questions also remain about whether such associations vary by socioeconomic status (SES) and race/ethnicity. This study examines those questions using nationally representative data from …

  • Explaining the Association Between Incarceration and Divorce

    Open Access•Sonja E Siennick, Eric A Stewart et al.•ARTICLE•Criminology•2014•Citada por: 33•Referencias: 57

    Recent studies have suggested that incarceration dramatically increases the odds of divorce, but we know little about the mechanisms that explain the association. This study uses prospective longitudinal data from a subset of married young adults in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (N = 1,919) to examine whether incarceration is associated with divorce indirectly via low marital love, economic strain, relationship violence, an…

  • Early Life Risks, Antisocial Tendencies, and Preteen Delinquency

    Open Access•J Staff, Corey Whichard et al.•ARTICLE•Criminology•2015•Citada por: 12•Referencias: 55

    Early age‐of‐onset delinquency and substance use confer a major risk for continued criminality, alcohol and drug abuse, and other serious difficulties throughout the life course. Our objective is to examine the developmental roots of preteen delinquency and substance use. By using nationally representative longitudinal data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study ( N = 13,221), we examine the influence of early childhood developmental and family risk…
