“…Although recent shifts in policy may have reduced their impact (see Braen & Forbush, 1975;Furstenberg, 1976), institutional arrangements in schools tend to handicap those who enter marriage or parenthood early. For instance, Delissovoy and Hitchcock (1965) found in an early study that, after marrying, 90 percent of the women but only 33 percent of the men failed to complete high school.…”

Early Transition into Adult Roles: Some Antecedents and Outcomes

The transition to adult roles usually occurs within a normative age span. By focusing on preadolescence to late adolescence using 2-wave panel data, this research seeks to develop a more informed picture of how "early" exit from the student role and "early" entry into the adult role of parent or spouse reflect factors operating prior to adolescence. The short term consequences of adult role transition on teenage status aspirations, life plans, other psychological orientations, and parental influence are also examined. Even though multiple role transition is frequently observed, only leaving school early appears to be related to preadolescent career decisions and academic performance in high school. The determinants of early transition to the role of parent or spouse do not appear to be socioeconomic origins, parental child rearing techniques or other specific influences, academic ability or performance, or preadolescent aspirations, as has generally been hypothesized in the literature. Research dilemmas and policy implications are discussed.

“…Concerning medical risk, not only is maternal and infant mortality together with rates of toxemia and premature birth higher among adolescent pregnancies, but among surviving infants there is a four-fold increase in neurologic defect and retardation. (Bemis, Diers & Sharpe, 1976 (Braen & Forbush, 1975 to the taxpayer, and unemployment among parents promises to become an even more prominent issue (Furstenberg, 1976 these larger issues might be, we will rightly continue to feel that we have failed to confront the problem in its entirety. The following discussion of some of these possible concerns is only an introduction, but it will have served its purpose if it stimulates the reader to challenge or expand it in his or her own mind.…”

“…It should be noted, however, that few attempts have been made to differentiate subgroups within the general population of unwed mothers, and categorizing such individuals into a homogeneous group severely limits an understanding of adolescent mothers who give birth out-of-wedlock. One major problem created by this "uniformity myth" (Kiesler, 1971) is the fact that there may be significant personality differences be-tween those women who are pregnant for the first time and those who have had multiple pregnancies (e.g., Braen & Forbush, 1975). In addition, most previous research (e.g., Everett & Schechter, 1971;McKay & Richardson, 1973) has been restrictive in that univariate techniques have been applied to a problem area, whereas multiple variables are available for analysis (e.g., 13 MMPI subscales).…”

This study was designed specifically to assess the personality differences between pregnant unwed young women who had a varying number of pregnancies and sexually active, but nonpregnant females. The MMPI was administered to 42 volunteer unmarried women assigned to one of the three following groups: Primigravida (pregnant for the first time), multigravida (pregnant for at least the second time), or to a “control” group (sexually active with no pregnancies). A discriminate function analysis was employed to predict group membership on the basis of the MMPI scales, which were used as predictor variables. The first function consisted of the Hs, Pt, and Sc scales, which accounted for 64.33% of the total variance. A second function consisted of K, Hs, Hy, Mf, Pa, Pt, Sc, and MA scales, which accounted for 35.67% of the total variance. The clinical implications of the first function (used primarily because it produced a higher degree of predictability with fewer scales) were discussed in terms of its ability to distinguish personality characteristics among the three groups of young women.
