Smith, Edward A.; Zabin, Laurie S.
Youth and Society, v25 n1 p62-74 Sep 1993
Analyzes the responses of 1,344 African-American and 580 white female adolescents, and 852 African-American and 520 white male adolescents to questions regarding their perceived ideal ages for marriage and first birth. Findings reveal differences between white and African-American adolescents' responses. Comparisons suggest that the adolescents' responses reflect the communities in which they live. (GLR)
