This chapter addresses three contextual influences on the onset, continuation, or escalation of offending during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. First the chapter examines four individual life circumstances that typically undergo dramatic change during the transition to adulthood—romantic relationships and marriage, parenthood, employment and leisure activities, reviewing what is known about their impact on the continuity or discontinuity in offending. Second the chapter addresses the situational factors surrounding specific criminal events, including crime places, asking how they change with the transition to adulthood and how their influences may be moderated by age. Finally the chapter turns to the broad context of neighborhood and community, examining how they set the stage for the transition to adulthood and how they may moderate the effects of individual life circumstances, either facilitating or impeding the successful transition to adult roles that can lead to desistance from crime. For each of the three contextual influences, the chapter provides a review of the current literature and recommendations for productive directions for future research.Less

While the period of transition from adolescence to adulthood has become a recent focus for developmental psychologists and child mental health practitioners, the full role of the family during this period is only beginning to be explored. Many compelling questions, of interest to anyone involved in adolescence research, remain unanswered. To what extent do family experiences influence the way one navigates through emerging adulthood? How do we begin to understand the interplay between adolescents' contexts and their development and well-being? This book offers an accessible synthesis of research, theories, and perspectives on the family processes that contribute to development. Chapters cover a wide variety of topics surrounding the link between family processes and individual development, including adolescent romantic relationships, emotion regulation, resilience in contexts of risk, and socio-cultural and ethnic influences on development. Drawing on diverse research and methodological approaches that include direct family observations, interviews, and narrative analyses, this volume presents cutting-edge conceptual and empirical work on the key developmental tasks and challenges in the transition between adolescence and adulthood.Less

This chapter focuses on the flyer in love. While some flyers feared that romantic entanglements might compromise combat efficiency, many others found that falling in love offered an affirmation of life in the present and hope for the future. Romantic love and companionship appeared to be a reward for taking on the obligations of military service, and therefore the flyer' affairs of the heart, far from being esoteric, tell us a great deal about the intersections between masculinity, sexuality, and citizenship in modern Britain. What was especially unusual about the RAF was that the presence of female service personnel, in the form of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF), allowed the possibility of heterosexual romantic attachments developing on the base itself. The romantic universe of the flyer ensured that the wartime RAF was never a closed all-male world, in which masculinity operated independently of a female presence.Less

Romantic relationships are salient developmental experiences for most contemporary adolescents. This chapter addresses the within-relationship changes in three cognitive and emotional assessments of African American adolescent women’s romantic/sexual relationships: relationship quality, relationship satisfaction, and sexual relationship satisfaction. Explicit attention to African American women allows redress of the tendency within behavioral and epidemiological research to ignore these young women’s romantic and sexual relationships. The young women’s cognitive and emotional assessments of relationships lasting up to a year or more respect the importance of relationships in young women’s lives in the context of our understanding that most relationships dissolve, form a basis of relationship experience and learning, and are replaced by other relationships. The data allow us to develop a deeper understanding of the subjective experiences of relationships among African American young women.Less

This evaluation of the research on this topic presents the current state of knowledge about suicidal behaviors in children and adolescents, addressing the trends of the past ten years and evaluating available treatment approaches. The book provides an in-depth examination of the problem of suicidal behavior within the context of child and adolescent behavior. Among the developmental issues covered are the evolving capacity for emotional self-regulation, change and stresses in family, peer, and romantic relationships, and developing conceptions of time and death. It also provides an up-to-date review of the controversy surrounding the possible influence of antidepressant medications on suicidal behavior. Within the context of an integrative model of the suicide crisis, the book discusses issues pertaining to assessment, treatment, and prevention.Less

The transition to adulthood is most obviously characterized by movement from the roles of childhood and adolescence to those of adulthood. Youth leave their parents' homes to live on their own, they marry or cohabit with romantic partners, and they become parents themselves. They finish their schooling and take full-time employment. Completing most, if not all, of these role transitions is often considered to be the standard for reaching adulthood. However, this set of changes does not come as an organized “package” or standard sequence. Rather, young people today take many varied paths through these transitions. This chapter explores several role transitions by classifying respondents into groups on the basis of simple facts about adult transitions in five major role domains: romantic relationships, residence, parenthood, employment, and education. It examines patterns of time use, the degree to which respondents feel that they are carrying out various adult responsibilities, demographic characteristics of the individuals and their families of origin, and attitudes toward marriage and family, employment, and education.Less

In this chapter we argue that positive development takes place within the context of relationships, and we review research on a number of relationships that emerging adults may have during this time period. This chapter explores theories of how and why relationships may be influential, and it reviews research on the role that relationships with members of one’s family of origin (parents, grandparents, and siblings) and with peers (friends, romantic partners, and spouses) play in flourishing during emerging adulthood. The way in which young people navigate these changing relationships, and the new patterning of relationships that are formed, may play important roles in the extent to which young people flourish during the third decade of life.Less

In close relationships, conflict occurs when the needs and desires of partners diverge and are thus incompatible. Because partners interact with each other regarding a number of issues important to their relationship over time, it is inevitable that conflict will occur to at least some degree in every relationship. The existence of conflict in relationships is not always detrimental to relationship satisfaction or stability, and if managed positively conflicts have the potential to actually enhance the well-being of the relationship. In this chapter we discuss conflict as it relates to positive psychology, integrating an interdependence theory perspective, and review research demonstrating how a more active approach to managing relationship conflict can lead to beneficial relationship maintenance and outcomes. The quality of relationships can be maintained over time, therefore, not because of the absence of interpersonal conflict, but by how intimates deal with conflict when it arises.Less

Using a combination of bracero family oral life histories and songs of love, this chapter traces the romantic love, loss, and longing that inspired Mexican women and men to be most resourceful in their pursuit of personally satisfying romantic relationships in Mexico and the United States. These women’s and men’s dedication to acting out of love—but with their family integrity and reputation intact—moved them to become most resilient when celebrating and mourning their love for each other when alone and in public. In capturing the emotional rigors of the Bracero Program, this historical examination of the expansiveness of the program’s reach is a most humanizing move toward unearthing an almost forgotten history of love and longing.Less

Emerging adults are engaged in heightened exploration of worldviews, including the religious and spiritual domains. As they recenter their relationships with their parents, they find themselves increasingly immersed in their peer relationships, which have the potential to influence their religious and spiritual beliefs and practices in important ways. In this paper, we differentiate the types of peer relationships, and then discuss the peer socialization process. Thereafter, we review the literature on how four types of peer relationships (siblings, friendships, romantic relationships, and other peer relationships) serve as contexts for the religious and spiritual socialization of emerging adults. Finally, we note limitations of this literature, future scholarly directions, and implications of the findings.Less
