Two studies of the characteristics of life events during adolescence are reported. In the first, open-ended reports of major life events and daily events were obtained from early, middle, and late adolescents. Analyses of the frequency of past events perceived as positive versus negative revealed effects for type of event (major vs. daily), age, and gender. In contrast, anticipated events were perceived similarly across age and gender. The second study examined judgments by older adolescents of the valence, type, and domain of life events. Consensus regarding these characteristics was achieved on only a small portion of events. The implications of these findings for the measurement of life events during adolescence are highlighted.
本文报告了两项关于青少年期生活事件特征的研究。第一项研究中，分别从青少年早期、中期和晚期获取了关于重大生活事件和日常事件的开放式报告。对过去被视为积极或消极事件的发生频率进行分析后发现，事件类型（重大事件与日常事件）、年龄和性别存在影响。相比之下，不同年龄和性别的青少年对预期事件的认知相似。第二项研究考察了年龄较大的青少年对生活事件的效价、类型和领域的判断。对于这些特征，仅在一小部分事件上达成了共识。文中强调了这些研究结果对青少年期生活事件测量的启示。
