Abstract

The present study sought to investigate whether perceived family unpredictability affects the development of life history strategies in both the reproductive and somatic domains by evaluating the ages at which life milestones occurred. In this study 211 young Brazilians answered a 10-item instrument that contained future milestones, the Family Unpredictability in Childhood, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Not all participants had already achieved the milestones. Earlier ages of giving birth to the first child, marrying, starting a family, and at first formal employment were correlated with greater unpredictability scores. Significant correlations were found more frequently for the participants who had already met the milestones. Data support the importance of the childhood environment for later development. Results suggest that data obtained based on the ages at which milestones occurred and ages at which milestones are expected to occur may present important differences with regard to the influence of environmental factors.

巴西年轻人童年(非)可预测性与人生里程碑之间的关系

本研究试图通过评估生命里程碑发生的年龄，来调查感知到的家庭不可预测性是否会影响生殖和躯体领域的生活史策略的发展。在这项研究中，211名巴西年轻人回答了一个包含未来里程碑、童年家庭不可预测性和社会人口调查问卷的10项工具。并不是所有的参与者都已经达到了里程碑。生第一个孩子、结婚、组建家庭和刚开始正式工作的年龄越早，不可预测性得分越高。在已经达到里程碑的参与者中，发现显著的相关性更频繁。数据支持童年环境对以后发展的重要性。结果表明，根据发生里程碑的年龄和预期发生里程碑的年龄获得的数据可能在环境因素的影响方面存在重要差异。
