Patterns of Associations Between Latent Life Paths and Subjective Assessments for YDS Respondents Ages 25–26

Life Path Schema	Subjective Sense of Timing by Ages 25–26					Feel Like an Adult by Ages 25–26
Life Path Schema	Parenthood	Marriage	Live w/Other	Own Home	Fin. Indep.	Feel Like an Adult by Ages 25–26
Traditional school-to-work transition, negligible family formation	L-VL¹	L-VL	VL	L-VL	VL	Not Entirely²
Early parent, no partner	E-VE	VL	VL	L	VL	-----³
Traditional school-to-work transition, delayed family formation	L-VL	OT-E	OT-E	OT	OT	Not Entirely
Traditional school-to-work transition, on-time family formation	-----³	OT-E	OT, VE	OT	OT	Entirely
Early parent, partner, full-time worker	E-VE	E-VE	VE	VE	VE	Entirely

Significant positive associations between indicated sense of timing and latent life paths are indicated by capital letters. VL refers to very late, L to late, OT to on-time, E to early, and VE to very early. See text for details and Online Appendix C for the full set of interaction coefficients, standard errors, and z ratios.

Significant associations between feeling like an adult most of the time and latent life paths.

No significant difference from the marginal response pattern.
