This article examines selected findings regarding the consequences of difference in timing of pubertal onset in order to build an explanatory model of puberty in context. We also seek to shed light on possible prevention efforts targeting adolescent risk. To date, there is substantial evidence supporting early onset effects on both internalizing and externalizing problems during the adolescent ...

However, such a conditional strategy cannot be adaptive unless the absence of the girl’s father at the microlevel is predictive of some recurrent feature of the macrosocial system and early puberty is advantageous in the system. I a...
