Adolescent researchers are increasingly aware that they must
examine development both across time and across context. To do so,
however, requires new conceptualizations and methodological
approaches to the study of development, including attention to the
pathways young people choose in adolescence and follow into
adulthood. This volume assembles work by key researchers in the
field who are struggling to understand how developmental
trajectories are constructed and maintained throughout the
adolescent period. A complete understanding of developmental
pathways requires the recognition that adolescents' social
contexts--family, school, neighborhood, and/or peer group--are
important influences on the choices they make at this developmental
period. Researchers have traditionally studied contexts in
isolation rather than examining the interrelationships among
contexts and their implications for adolescent development. The
present volume seeks to address this gap in the literature, with
attention given not only to the interrelationships among contexts
for white, middle-class youth, but also to these issues for
minority adolescents in neighborhoods that vary in terms of access
to resources. It concludes with an examination of
researcher-community collaboration as a strategy to move
communities toward a greater awareness of adolescent development
and the problems facing youth in their community, and as a means to
promote potential avenues for policy change and intervention.
