“…Other researchers have evidenced only early maturation to influence psychological adjustment Ge et al, 2001;Ge et al, 2006;Graber et al, 2006;Negriff et al, 2015Negriff et al, , 2010Negriff et al, , 2009Negriff et al, , 2008Stice et al, 2001). Similarly, Lee et al (2017) in their work found only early-maturing girls based on PDS having higher rates of smoking and sexual activity. However, this influence of early pubertal timing also tends to differ across gender like Strong et al (2016) in their study found effect of early pubertal timing on adolescent's depression only in males but not in females.…”

Pubertal status refers to the current level of physical development experienced by the adolescent relative to the overall process of pubertal change. Despite the fact that these pubertal changes are universal in nature, there are individual differences with regard to the age at which specific pubertal changes occur and this is referred to as pubertal timing. Thus, the present work makes an attempt to investigate the effect of these aspects of puberty as they carry importance for both psychological and social functioning of adolescents. For this purpose, data were collected from 772 adolescents using measures of Pubertal Developmental Scale (PDS; Petersen, Crockett, Richards and Boxer (1988) and Youth Self Report (YSR). Pubertal timing but not pubertal status was found as a significant predictor of problem behaviours in adolescents and this relation was not moderated by gender.

“…This was, however, inconsistent with those with measurements using perceived maturity in comparison with peers [ 21 ]. The explanation is that interpretations of perceived maturity likely vary according to personal perceptions that are formulated through the experiences of peer comparisons [ 22 ]. For example, viewing pornography could be regarded as a sign of maturity, hence a normative behavior among male peers [ 21 ].…”

AimTo investigate the longitudinal impacts of pubertal timing and weight status on Internet use in adolescents.MethodsThree waves of data on a longitudinal cohort of 7th grade students (N = 2430) were retrieved from the Taiwan Youth Project. Univariate and multivariate regression models were applied using crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) to examine the concomitant impacts of pubertal timing and weight status on adolescent Internet use.ResultsThe dataset identified 210 (8.7%) students using the Internet for more than 20 hours/week, and 81 (3.3%) were viewing pornographic material online. Early maturing and thin-weight adolescents were at 35% and 46% increased risks of spending long hours on Internet use, respectively. While early puberty was associated with online pornography viewing among males (adjusted OR 1.84, 95% CI 1.04–3.28), early puberty was contrarily a protective factor against online gaming in females (adjusted OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.36–0.96).ConclusionEarly puberty was found to be positively related to adolescent Internet use. Appropriate health education and guidance regarding Internet use should be provided to those with different developing needs.

This article uses the mean age at menarche of women in China as an indicator of changes in the standard of living during the 20th century. It discusses the difficulties of using this indicator. It finds that the mean age of menarche stagnated at 16 to 17 years for women born during the period between the 1880s and 1930s. The age at menarche decreased in some urban areas, indicating improving living standards in, for example, Beijing and Shanghai. The mean age at menarche increased for 1940s’ birth cohorts, in relation not only to the warfare of the 1940s but also the famine of 1959–1962. The mean age at menarche decreased in a sustained way for women born during the 1950s to early 2000s. The decrease is associated with increasing educational attainment since the 1940s and also improvements in nutrition, hygiene and healthcare.

Longitudinal Effects of Self-Report Pubertal Timing and Menarcheal Age on Adolescent Psychological and Behavioral Outcomes in Female Youths from Northern Taiwan

Abstract: Conceptual and actual pubertal developments may be differentially associated with psychobehavioral outcomes among young Taiwanese girls. Clinical attention should be given to adolescent self-perception of sexual maturation and developmental guidance provided accordingly.
