What influences and experiences contribute to the different outcomes for children during their first school years?

What relation of social experiences (school, family, peers, neighborhood), and individual characteristics to adolescents' transition into young adulthood ?

And how can the likelihood of successful outcomes be increased?

How beliefs about the self will shape academic interests, choices and decisions on educational, occupational, and interpersonal life-task planning; on work and educational achievements; on life-role choices through adolescence and early adulthood?

Critical Significance of Social Context in Formative Periods of Human Development

Some systematic individual-level, age-related changes are a consequence of systematic changes in the contexts, especially the family and the school, that individuals move through as they age

Identity formation, peer group membership, and attachment to non-familial adults mediate associations of extracurricular activity involvement with both educational and risky behavior outcomes during adolescence and young adulthood

Expectancy-Value Model of Motivation and Choice Amplification of the model by showing how

context shapes both expectancies and values Centrality of values as key to understanding

individual differences in such gender-related choices as taking advanced math and aspiring to jobs in fields linked to physical science, technology, and engineering Eccles, J. S., & Wigfield, A. (2002). Motivational beliefs, values,

and goals. Annual Review of Psychology, 53, 109-32

Social Identity and Academic Achievement Social, cultural, and interpersonal forces

that shape, and sometimes limit, beliefs about the self,

and consequently, the academic interests, choices, and performance of women and minorities in adolescence and early adulthood
