“…Identity-related attainment value shares characteristics with theoretical conceptualizations of identity in the broader identity literature (e.g., Luyckx, Goossens, Soenens, & Beyers, 2006; Marcia, 1993; Markus & Nurius, 1986; Schwartz, Zamboanga, Luyckx, Meca, & Ritchie, 2013; see Robinson, Perez et al, 2018 for a more detailed discussion), such as the focus on absolute salience or importance to one’s identity. However, in contrast to conceptualizations of identity as a whole, or on identity processes regardless of contents, expectancy-value theory’s focus on the identity contents in the context of a particular task or domain is a defining characteristic of this conceptualization (Eccles, 2009).…”

This investigation of undergraduates’ heterogeneous science identity trajectories within a gateway chemistry course identified three latent classes (High and Stable, Moderate and Slightly Increasing, Moderate and Declining) using growth mixture modeling. Underrepresented minorities were more likely to exhibit Moderate-and-Slightly-Increasing science identities versus High-and-Stable patterns. Students with higher perceived competence were more likely classified into the High-and-Stable class compared to the other classes. Students classified into the High-and-Stable class scored significantly higher on the final exam and appeared to be more likely to remain in a STEM major across fall and spring semesters compared to the other two classes. Results suggest that some students’ identities shift within a single semester and supporting science perceived competence before college may support students’ science identity development.

“…In addition to further development of self-identity during this period [9], individuals experience major transitions during the adolescent to early adulthood period. These include changes in social environment and social influences, moving from family dependence towards stronger peer networks and development of intimate partner relationships.…”

BackgroundLate adolescence to early adulthood is a period of lifestyle change and personal development which may influence dietary behaviour. Understanding dietary trajectories across this age range may help in targeting interventions appropriately. This scoping review aimed to assess how longitudinal change in diet is conceptualised and measured between the ages of 13 to 30.MethodsWe searched Medline, SCOPUS, Embase, PsycInfo (EBSCO), ASSIA, Sportdiscus, and Web of Science Core Collection (January 2016) using search terms combining diet outcomes, longitudinal methods and indicators of adolescent or young adult age. Titles and abstracts were screened and data extracted following published guidelines for scoping reviews. Data were analysed to summarize key data on each study and map availability of longitudinal data on macronutrients and food groups by age of study participants.ResultsWe identified 98 papers reporting on 40 studies. Longitudinal dietary data were available on intake of energy, key macronutrients and several food groups, but this data had significant gaps and limitations. Most studies provided only two or three waves of data within the age range of interest and few studies reported data collected beyond the early twenties. A range of dietary assessment methods were used, with greater use of less comprehensive dietary assessment methods among studies reporting food group intakes.ConclusionDespite limited availability of longitudinal data to aid understanding of dietary trajectories across this age range, this scoping review identified areas with scope for further evidence synthesis. We identified a paucity of longitudinal data continuing into the mid and late twenties, variability in (quality of) dietary assessment methods, and a large variety of macronutrients and food groups studied. Advances in dietary assessment methodologies as well as increased use of social media may facilitate new data collection to further understanding of changing diet across this life stage.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12966-017-0518-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…With identity development still in progress, many youth enter the TTA with more autonomy to explore their worldviews, values, and interests (Côté, 2006; Schwartz et al, 2013). Over the last few decades, youth are increasingly delaying social roles such as stable career, marriage, and parenthood, and more are living with parents and attending school longer (Arnett, 2014; Settersten & Ray, 2010).…”

Despite the potential importance of community service for the well-being of individuals and communities, relatively little is known about the developmental course of community service during the transition to adulthood (TTA). Our study tested competing hypotheses about change in community service across the TTA by estimating latent growth models from ages 18 to 26 in a nationally representative sample. We situated youth community service participation in historical context by testing for cohort differences in community service, and we examined differences in developmental trajectories by socioeconomic status, gender, grades, religiosity, race/ethnicity, college expectations, and college degree attainment. Using Monitoring the Future data from 1976 to 2011, we found that the best-fitting latent growth model for community service was quadratic: Community service declined from age 18 to 24 and leveled off thereafter. Cohort differences in intercepts indicated that age 18 community service increased over historical time; developmental declines in community service were consistent over the four decades. Parent education predicted higher community service at age 18, but did not predict growth parameters. Community service trajectories varied by gender, high school grades, religiosity, and educational attainment, although all groups declined. Overall, findings contribute to civic developmental theory by clarifying age and cohort effects in community service. Rising levels of community service at age 18 may reflect increased focused on service in high schools, yet these increases do not mitigate the decline across the TTA.
