This study examines variation in young adults' transitions to financial independence and the relationship between these transitions and financial security.
The financial support that young adults receive from their families may be associated with their financial independence and financial security. This study examined different patterns of financial independence among young adults, and how these patterns relate to financial security.
This study investigated the association of domain-general and domain-specific parenting practices with college students’ financial attitudes and behaviors. Data came from a survey of college students (n = 585, 156 males) aged 19–32 attending a Midwestern University.
The financial attitude and behavior of young adults is influenced by parents’ financial socialization (e.g., the communication pattern around finances in the family).
This study investigated which financial socialisation techniques parents used to influence students’ financial behaviour. Few students possess satisfactory levels of knowledge regarding financial concepts and, as a result, often struggle with high debt levels.
The financial behavior of young adults is influenced by their parents’ financial socialization. This study examined the impact of various parental financial socialization techniques on the financial behavior of college students.
This qualitative interview study examined experiences of youth-initiated mentoring relationships (YIM) among youth transitioning out of the foster care system.
Mentoring programs have been shown to be effective for many youth; however, youth in foster care sometimes have difficulty engaging in these program.
FuelUp&Go! is a technology-driven food literacy program consisting of six in-person skill building sessions as well as fitness trackers, text messages, and a companion website.
Helping adolescents improve their nutritional knowledge and behaviors and physical activity is an important part of improving their health.
Cultural responsiveness is a key aspect of the quality of organized activities, yet has rarely been examined.
High-quality youth development programs are commonly seen as beneficial to youth, and youth can participate in programs that either attempt to be ethnically neutral or encompass and embrace certain aspects of their ethnicity.
Physical activity-based positive youth development (PYD) programs are designed to nurture personal and social assets in youth, and in underserved populations, often provide unique opportunities for physical activity and mentoring.
Youth sport programs provide skill-building opportunities for youth, both physically and socially. In this study, youth and staff in a recurring summer physical activity youth program identified multiple ways that youth benefited on intra- and interpersonal levels.
Youth transitioning from foster care to adulthood are at higher risk for alcohol and substance abuse disorders than general population youth.
Substance abuse prevention services are important to have accessible for youth transitioning out of foster care and into adulthood. Yet, much of the time, these services are not accessed when they could or should be, due to concerns that they don't best fit the needs of the youth.
After school programs have shown to be important for the safety and health of children.
After-school programs are an important part of education, enrichment, and supervision for many children. This study examined the experiences of staff in after-school programs, particularly their job demands and resources, job stress, and how neighborhoods impact these factors.
Sleep problems in youth reliably forecast the development of anxiety and mood disorders, presumably due to increased emotional difficulties. However, precise emotional mechanisms have yet to be delineated.
Sleep problems during childhood and adolescence are associated with higher instances of anxiety and mood disorders in later years. This study examined the association between sleep problems, emotion regulation strategies, and the risk of psychiatric disorders in adolescents.
Organized youth programs provide a context where adolescents experience strong emotions and may develop new ways of
thinking about and dealing with emotions. The current study examined youth’s reports of positive and negative emotions
Youth experience a range of emotions that have implications on learning outcomes and emotion socialization.
Many researchers collect online survey data because it is cost-effective and less time-consuming than traditional research methods.
Online surveys are cost-effective and less time consuming than traditional research methods, such as personal interviews or sending mail to participants.
We examined how perceived financial socialization—from parents, the romantic partner, and young adults' own behavior— was associated with young adults' life outcomes and well-being (i.e., physical and mental health, finances, romantic relation-ship).
Young adults’ well-being may be influenced by financial attitudes of their parents, romantic partners, and their own behavior.
Public health practice involving adolescents is largely focused on preventing or delaying the initiation of risk behavior. However, given the experimental and exploratory nature of this developmental period, this is often impractical.
Youth who have behavior problems as adolescents often have positive behavior transitions as young adults. This study examined the experiences of Black young adults who reported such a transition in their behavior when they were youth.
Veterans are disproportionately affected by overweight/obesity and growing evidence suggests that post-deployment is a critical period of accelerated weight gain.
Veterans may be prone to being obese and overweight; however, the reason for this is unclear. This study examined the Veterans Affairs (VA) health record data of 248,089 Veterans who returned from war.
