Transition to Adulthood Project

The primary goals of this follow-up project are to (a) assess the mental health of these young adults in relation to levels of exposure to stressors from various sources and in various life-domains during the post-high school period, and (b) examine the extent to which positive racial identity, various types of coping strategies, and parental racial socialization during late adolescence buffer the negative effects of stress during the transition to adulthood.
