TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a 3-factor measure that also assesses enhancement motives and found that enhancement motives are empirically distinct from coping and social motives and that a correlated 3factor model fits the data equally well across race and gender groups in a large representative sample.

TL;DR: The Revised Dimensions of Temperament Survey (DOTS-R) as mentioned in this paper was developed to identify age-continuous features of temperament, across an age span from early childhood to late adolescence/early adulthood through the construction of a new temperament measure, the Revised Dimension of Temperaments Survey (R).

TL;DR: In this article, a 2-wave longitudinal design was used to study the interrelations between stressful life events, perceived social support from family and friends, and the internalizing (e.g., depressive symptoms) and externalizing (i.e., alcohol use and delinquent activity) of problems of a sample of 277 middle adolescents.

TL;DR: The timing of and variations in developmental changes are related to individual differences in alcohol use and this integrated developmental perspective is proposed to serve as the foundation for subsequent efforts to prevent and to treat the causes, problems, and consequences of alcohol consumption.

TL;DR: Correlations between classes of antisocial behaviors in early adolescents and substance use in late adolescence were of higher magnitude and more uniform for men than for women; for women, property offenses in early adolescence were more highly associated with alcohol use, alcohol-related problems, and illicit drug use inLate adolescence than with either status offenses or transgressions against persons.
