This longitudinal study evaluates the transition from childhood into early and middle adolescence and how it is affected by the type of school a child attends, onset of puberty, and gender. <br /><br /> The study was conducted between 1974 and 1979 and had two major phases. The first phase examined the transition from late childhood into early adolescence using a 2-year longitudinal design. Students were followed from sixth grade in elementary school into the two types of contrasting seventh grade settings: (1) where the children attended the same school from kindergarten through eighth grade; (2) where the child moved from a kindergarten through sixth grade school onto a junior high school. The second phase of the study, which took place over a second 2-year period (ninth and tenth grade), was designed to study the transition into senior high school and to contrast the effects of a double transition in school environment versus a single change in school environments; that is to contrast students who experienced both a junior and senior high school transition to those who moved directly from elementary school to senior high school. <br /><br /> The Murray Archive holds additional analogue materials for this study (copies of blank measures used at each data collection).
