The Timing of Psychosocial Transitions in Adolescence: Commonalities and Differences in Unified Germany.
Silbereisen, Rainer K.; And Others
New Directions for Child Development, n70 p23-28 Win 1995
Interviewed 1,708 East and West German adolescents to study similarities and differences in their psychosocial transitions. Found that females generally underwent transitions earlier than males. East German youths conceived of the transition to work and displayed autonomy earlier than West German youth, but the overall timetable of transitions showed commonalities for all youth. (JW)
