Leaving the Parental Home: Predictors for Young Adults Raised in Former East and West Germany.
Silbereisen, Rainer K.; And Others
New Directions for Child Development, n71 p71-86 Spr 1996
Studied differences in the timing of leaving home, comparing young adults raised in the two Germanies. Found that in the West, a number of factors were relevant predictors of differences in home-leaving, whereas in the East, only gender (being female), parental monitoring, communication with parents, and cohabitation were relevant.
