Sloan Study of Youth and Social Development, 1992-1997 [United States] (ICPSR 4551)
Schneider, Barbara
Schneider, Barbara
The Alfred P. Sloan Study of Youth and Social Development
was designed to gather a holistic picture of the adolescent
experience. To understand how young people form ideas about their
future, the study considered not only what adolescents' aspirations
are, but also how they may be influenced by family, peer groups,
schools, and their communities. Data were collected within
adolescents' three major social environments: schools, families, and
peer groups. The study gathered information from 12 sites over five
years, to examining such research questions as: (1) how young people
of various ages and family backgrounds differ in their conceptions of
work, (2) what learning opportunities families with different economic
circumstances provide for their children with respect to work and
careers, and (3) how schools influence educational expectations and career
formation. Data were collected from focal students using the
experience sampling method (ESM), an in-depth interview, and a battery
of questionnaires. The questionnaires included: (1) the Teenage Life
Questionnaire, a modification of instruments used in the National
Educational Longitudinal Study (NELS:1988-94), (2) a Friends
Sociometric form, which provided detailed information about the
respondents' peer groups and social ties, and (3) the Career
Orientation Survey (COS), which measures respondents' knowledge about
jobs and occupational expectations. Cohort students were also
administered the questionnaires but did not participate in the ESM or
in-depth interviews. All instruments were administered to focal
students in Years 1, 3, and 5. In addition, in Year 2, in-depth
interviews alone were administered to focal students. In years 1, 3,
and 5, a separate group of cohort students were administered the
questionnaires. Parts 1, 2, 6, 7, 11, and 12 consist of the Teenage
Life Questionnaire data. Parts 3, 4, 8, 9, 13, and 14 consist of the
Career Orientation Survey data. Parts 5, 10, and 15 consist of the
Experience Sampling Method data. The in-depth interview component will
be released by ICPSR as restricted data at a later time.
