Extremity of externalizing behavior and young adult outcomes

Article Abstract:

Extremity of externalizing behavior during childhood was found to affect education and employment outcomes in young adulthood in an analysis of data from the National Child Development Study. Age of onset, density, persistence, and pervasiveness were the four heuristic dimensions of extremity analyzed in relation to school-leaving age, labor force entry qualifications, and social class of job at age 23 as measures of outcome. Persistence was found to have the most effect on outcome, while the influence of temporal proximity was greater than that of early onset.
