“…A cohort-sequential design was employed, allowing for adjacent segments of longitudinal data to be linked across different age cohorts in the estmation of a common developmental trajectory (Baltes, Cornelius, & Nesselroade, 1979; Duncan et al, 2006). CU data were collected at 4 bi-annual assessments across a 2-year period among five temporally overlapping age cohorts ( N = 48 14½-years-old; N = 64 15-years-old; N = 82 15½-years-old; N = 104 16-years-old; N = 103 16½-years-old).…”

Background: Characterizing patterns of adolescent cannabis use (CU), as well as risk factors and outcomes uniquely associated with these pathways is essential for informing treatment and prevention efforts. Yet, few studies have examined these issues among youth at-risk of engaging in problematic cannabis use. Further, research accounting for use of other substances or sex differences in patterns of CU remains exceedingly sparse. Methods: Trajectory-based modeling was used to identify underlying CU pathways among a predominantly Hispanic (90%) sample of at-risk youth (n=401; 46% female) across adolescence (ages~14–18), controlling for baseline substance use and participant demographics. Adolescent psychopathology (i.e., conduct disorder, ADHD, anxiety, depression) was examined as a predictor and outcome of CU. Results: Three trajectories of adolescent CU were identified, with most youth (74%) engaging in relatively ‘low’ levels of use, followed by approximately 12% exhibiting an early-initiating ‘chronic’ course, and 14% ‘escalating’ in use. Although boys and girls both experienced increased levels of CU across adolescence, boys were more likely to exhibit escalating and chronic patterns of use. Findings revealed unique associations between adolescent CU pathways and facets of psychopathlogy; most notably, the relatively robust and bidirectional association between CU trajectories and conduct problem symptoms. Conclusions: Specific facets of psychopathology may confer unique associations with CU across development, including the initiation and exacerbation of CU during adolescence.

“…The intensive longitudinal nature of the data collection allows for examination of individual differences in intraindividual variability, intraindividual covariation, person-situation interactions, change processes, causality, etc. (see Baltes & Nesselroade, 1979; Hamaker, 2012; Stone et al, 2007). Many researchers have turned to EMA-type designs because of the advantages they afford over cross-sectional and experimental designs for understanding how psychological and behavioral processes manifest within the context of naturally occurring changes in individuals’ environments – ecological validity .…”

Experience sampling (ESM), diary, ecological momentary assessment (EMA), ambulatory monitoring, and related methods are part of a research tradition aimed at capturing the ongoing stream of individuals’ behavior in real-world situations. By design, these approaches prioritize ecological validity. In this paper, we examine how the purported ecological validity these study designs provide may be compromised during data analysis. After briefly outlining the benefits of EMA-type designs, we highlight some of the design issues that threaten ecological validity, illustrate how the typical multilevel analysis of EMA-type data can compromise generalizability to “real-life”, and consider how unobtrusive monitoring and person-specific analysis may provide for more precise descriptions of individuals’ actual human ecology.

“…Lifespan psychology and life-course sociology have long noted the importance of historical and socio-cultural contexts for shaping individual functioning and development (Baltes, Cornelius, & Nesselroade, 1979; Bronfenbrenner, 1993; Elder, 1974; Riley, 1973; Rosow, 1978; Ryder, 1965; Schaie, 1965). Indeed, there is accumulating evidence for cohort differences across a number of different domains of functioning, including cognitive performance (Flynn, 1999; Schaie, 2005), well-being (Sutin, Terracciano, Milaneschi, An, Ferrucci, & Zonderman, 2013), personality (Twenge, 2000), and physical health (Crimmins, & Beltrán-Sánchez, 2011).…”

Life Span psychological and life course sociological perspectives have long acknowledged that individual functioning is shaped by historical and sociocultural contexts. Secular increases favoring later-born cohorts are widely documented for fluid cognitive performance and well-being (among older adults). However, little is known about secular trends in other key resources of psychosocial function such as perceptions of control and whether historical changes have occurred in young, middle-aged, and older adults alike. To examine these questions, we compared data from two independent national samples of the Midlife in the United States survey obtained 18 years apart (1995/96 vs. 2013/14) and identified case-matched cohorts (per cohort, n = 2,223, aged = 23-75 years) based on age and gender. We additionally examined the role of economic resources for cohort differences in perceived mastery and constraints. Results revealed that older adults in later-born cohorts reported perceiving fewer constraints than did matched controls 18 years ago, with such positive secular trends being particularly pronounced among women. In contrast, younger adults reported perceiving more constraints in later-born cohorts than those 18 years ago and also reported perceiving lower mastery. We conclude from our national U.S. sample that secular trends generalize to central psychosocial resources across adulthood, such as perceptions of control, but are not unanimously positive. We discuss possible underlying mechanisms and practical implications. (PsycINFO Database Record
