Yet, pubertal timing is not widely studied beyond adolescence, making it unclear whether and how adolescent effects persist or if downstream effects emerge after adolescence. This paper investigates the relation between pubertal timing (perceived comparison to same-sex peers) and alcohol use for 75-100 days and examines alcohol belief mediators. Participants (<i>N</i>=183) aged 21-45 years (<i>M</i> <sub><i>age</i></sub> =27.33 [<i>SD</i> <sub><i>age</i></sub> =6.65]) came from two intensive longitudinal studies. Across ~13,000 daily observations, pubertal timing was associated with normative daily alcohol use during adulthood, such that women who matured late and men who matured on-time drank the most. Alcohol beliefs about relaxation and social facilitation influenced the alcohol use behavior of late maturing men less than their peers. Adolescent alcohol use might be slow to emerge in late developers, and the mechanisms underlying use seem to differ across development and by gender.</p>","PeriodicalId":47792,"journal":{"name":"Applied Developmental Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12381964/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144974206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated poor fit for the proposed 5-factor model. Using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, we found a reliable and empirically sound 3-factor solution. The first factor reflected self-regulatory and prosocial behaviors, a factor we termed \"responsibility\" to align with skills valued in the Ghanaian context. The second and third factors represented internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors, respectively. Multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses suggested measurement invariance across gender and age. While evidence of convergent and discriminant validity was mixed, associations with child and household characteristics offer new insights into child development in an understudied context.
