ABSTRACT Using data from the Human Connectome Project in Development ( N = 1304; ages 5–21 years; 50% male; 59% White, 17% Hispanic, 13% Black, 9% Asian), multiple measures (self‐report, salivary hormones) and research designs (longitudinal, cross‐sectional) were used to characterize age‐related changes sex differences pubertal development. Both sexes exhibit a sigmoid trajectory of development; females show earlier timing increased tempo ~9–13 years, while males greater ~14–18 years. All hormones with age, testosterone DHEA levels rates change. Higher corresponded both sexes. These findings typical hormonal development inform best practices for handling puberty data.

Social adversities, including bullying social exclusion, are likely be particularly salient adolescence. However, our understanding of how adversities co‐occur in they functioning is limited. Methods We used latent profile analysis investigate adolescents' regressions identify their relationship cognition later development. Data was analysed from UKHLS ( N = 493, aged 14–16 years, preregistered analysis) ALSPAC 14,856, 12–22 replication analysis). Results Adolescents clustered into four profiles both cohorts: low adversity, peer difficulties, sibling poly‐adversity. that 17%–22% participants fell the poly‐adversity reported experiencing several adversities. In ALSPAC, but not UKHLS, differed between adversity (working memory: F (3, 3773) 8.07, p < 0.001; fluid reasoning: 5258) 3.36, 0.018; verbal fluency: 5261) 6.24, 0.001). After controlling for sex, adolescents scored significantly higher on working memory task than those profile, effect sizes were small. Conclusion These findings implications experiences. To understand individual differences lifespan outcomes, it essential capture a broad spectrum interactions, bullying, school issues.
