  • Pubertal timing in adolescence and adulthood

    Open AccessNatasha Chaku, Sheri A Berenbaum et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2025

    Pubertal development has short- and long-term effects on psychological adjustment. Many studies of long-term effects rely on retrospective measurement of pubertal timing, but such measures often reflect different aspects of puberty than those assessed in adolescence, raising questions about the utility and interpretation of retrospective reports. The present study leveraged longitudinal data collected in adolescence and established adulthood to d…

  • Modeling pubertal timing and tempo and examining links to behavior problems

    Adriene M Beltz, Robin P Corley et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2014Cited by: 10References: 3

    Research on the role of puberty in adolescent psychological development requires attention to the meaning and measurement of pubertal development. Particular questions concern the utility of self-report, the need for complex models to describe pubertal development, the psychological significance of pubertal timing vs. tempo, and sex differences in the nature and psychological significance of pubertal development. We used longitudinal self-report …

  • Pubertal Timing as a Potential Mediator of Adoption Effects on Problem Behaviors

    Open AccessRebecca J Brooker, Sheri A Berenbaum et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2012Cited by: 4References: 6

    Adopted children show more problem behaviors than nonadopted children. Given that internationally-adopted individuals show earlier puberty than non-adopted individuals, and early puberty is associated with problem behaviors in nonadopted youth, we analyzed data from domestic adoptees to determine whether problem behaviors could be explained by differences in pubertal timing. Relative to nonadopted controls (n = 153), domestically-adopted girls (n…

    Open AccessSheri A BerenbaumARTICLEAnnual Review of Sex Research2006Cited by: 2References: 12

    Much scientific and public attention has been focused on controversies regarding the treatment of people with disorders of sex development (DSD, informally called intersex), particularly the basis for sex assignment, the need for and consequences of “gender-confirming” genital surgery, the mental health consequences of treatment, and the relative contributions to gender development of genes, hormones, and socialization. Evidence relevant to these…

  • Early hormonal influences on childhood sex-typed activity and playmate preferences

    Sheri A Berenbaum, Elizabeth SnyderARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology1995Cited by: 30References: 5

    Early hormones have been hypothesized to influence both sexual orientation and related childhood sex-type behaviors. This study examined hormonal influences on activity and playmate preferences in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) age 2.5 to 12 years (24 girls, 19 boys) and their relatives (16 girls, 25 boys). CAH girls preferred boys' toys and activities. They also had greater preference for boy playmates than controls, but this…

  • Early Androgens Are Related to Childhood Sex-Typed Toy Preferences

    Open AccessSheri A Berenbaum, Melissa HinesARTICLEPsychological Science1992

    Girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) who were exposed to high levels of androgen in the prenatal and early postnatal periods showed increased play with boys” toys and reduced play with girls' toys compared with their unexposed female relatives at ages 3 to 8. Boys with CAH did not differ from their male relatives in play with boys' or girls' toys. These results suggest that early hormone exposure in females has a masculinizing effect o…
