Externalizing Behavior in the Life Course

The Transition From School to Work

ELIZABETH M. Z. FARMER

ELIZABETH M.Z. FARMER is a postdoctoral fellow and research associate in the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She received her PhD in sociology from Duke University. Her research interests focus on the life-course implications of childhood behavior problems and the services provided to address these problems. Address: Elizabeth M.Z. Farmer, Sheps Center for Health Services Research, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Campus Box 7590, Chapel Hill, NC 27599–7590.

This paper uses data from the National Child Development Study to study the long-term experiences of boys who display externalizing behavior problems. Analyses examine the transition from school to work by bringing together variables used in life-course analyses of the transition to adulthood (e.g., family background, individual ability, aspirations, school placements) with variables often employed in longitudinal studies of children with behavior problems (e.g., behavior problems, family difficulties, special educational services). A substantial amount of variance is accounted for by variables that are conventionally employed in life-course analyses. However, academic ability, parental aspirations, and private/grammar school placement have significantly smaller effects on some outcomes for boys who display externalizing behavior than for boys who do not display such behavior. The discussion emphasizes the importance of including both sets of factors when explaining the life-course experiences of boys who displayed externalizing behaviors.
