Description:
Adolescents and young adults today face very different choices about family formation than their parents' generation. In this volume, top scholars examine the nature and origin of adolescents' contemporary patterns of sexual and romantic relationships, spanning diverse topics such as the evolutionary roots of these behaviors, and policies and programs that represent best practices for these issues in schools and communities.
Review Quotes:
"...this volume on teenage romance and sexuality, edited by Crouter and Booth, provides a lively overview of relatively recent research in this area. Perhaps more important, it points to issues and methods for further research in the continuously changing and dynamic field. Finally, the wealth of information in this book can serve as a jumping-off for explorations that extend to more diverse populations and circumstances."
