“…Finally, the sex of the young adult is included in the analyses. Because previous studies of adolescents' aspirations for marriage (Ganong, Coleman, Thompson, & Goodwin-Watkins, 1996), education (Danziger, 1983;Wilson & Wilson, 1992), and occupation (Bronzaft, 1991;Schroeder, Blood, & Maluso, 1992) indicated significant differences between females and males, these analyses use separate models for each sex. Although it is recognized that males and females differ in regards to their marital experiences, particularly in regard to their transition into first marriage, the major focus of these analyses is how substance use and delinquent behaviors might differentially influence the transition to marriage.…”

Previous studies have examined the consequences of adolescent substance use and delinquency, yet most of these studies have focused on the relatively short-term effects of such behaviors. The present study examines the long-term consequences of adolescent delinquency and substance use as it affects the marital choices of young adults. Using a nationally representative sample of 5,331 females and 4,842 males in their late 20s, the analyses show that both substance use patterns and delinquent behavior in the adolescent years significantly affect the likelihood of marriage and the age at first marriage of young adults. Delinquent behaviors appear to increase the likelihood of marriage and lower the age at first marriage for both sexes, whereas higher levels of substance use (alcohol and marijuana) substantially lower females' likelihood of marriage. The results suggest that a gender difference exists in how risk-taking behaviors in adolescence impacts marital outcomes in adulthood. The analyses are discussed within the framework of precocious development theory.

The relation between educational investment and sexual behavior was examined longitudinally in a sample of479 rural adolescents. Surveys were administered to the subjects twice-once when they were in the 8th, 9th, and 10th grades, and again 2 years later, when they were in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. Results indicated that among girls, educational investment predicted sexual activity, with academic grades in school significantly predicting reportedfrequency of sexual activity 2 years later. In contrast,forboys, sexual involvement predicted later educational investment, particularly involvement in academic activities. These findings suggest different developmental pattems for boys and girls. For girls, academic involvement may limit their sexual activity. However, sexual activity does not seem to reduce educational involvement. In contrast, sexual activity is associated with less involvement in academic activities for boys. The possible reasons for these gender differences are discussed.
