Research on physical maturity has demonstrated conclusively that
the assumption of an age-homogenous development does not always
hold true. This volume presents a biosocial model focusing on the
role of individual differences in biological maturation to be used
as a framework for empirical studies exploring adolescent female
development. The longitudinal design of the research program offers
the possibilities to examine both short- and long-term consequences
for individual variations in pubertal development. In the present
volume, the data for these analyses consist of a broad range of
biological, mental, psychological, behavioral, and social factors
extending from the age of 10 to the age of 30. Some of the
questions the present volume attempts to answer are:
* Are variations in the timing of pubertal development among girls
related to their psychological and social life situation in the
adolescent years? If so, when is the relation most prominent? In
what areas is the relation most prominent? How does the relation
come about?
* Do interindividual differences in physical maturation have any
long-term consequences for adult life? If so, in what areas, for
which girls, and through which developmental processes does
pubertal development operate? The long-term consequences are a
major concern addressed in considerable detail.
