Adolescent development in interpersonal and societal contexts. (2006, background): “…development, which shows that brain maturation is not complete, and new research demonstrating that mature decision making does not emerge until the middle twenties (Cauffman & Steinberg 2000), also has the potential to reshape our definitions of adolescence and the transitions to young adulthood.”
Age differences in future orientation and delay discounting. (2009, background): “Second, questionnaire-based studies of future orientation that include items such as, ‘‘I often do things that don’t pay off right away but will help in the long run,’’ generally find that individuals’ tendency to think about and consider the future increase with age (e.g., Cauffman & Steinberg, 20”
Adolescent Susceptibility to Deviant Peer Pressure: Does Gender Matter? (2019, background): “…one study found that midadolescent males are more likely to engage in (hypothetical) delinquent behavior regardless of perceived consequences than females, whereas females display more temperance and perspective, indicators of more advanced psychosocial maturity (Cauffman and Steinberg 2000).”
Assessment of Reoffense Risk in Adolescents Who Have Committed Sexual Offenses (2009, background): “…OF REOFFENSE RISK 989 (n = 128) because research has suggested that there may be important developmental differences between these age groups (e.g., Cauffman & Steinberg, 2000) and because the Static-99 guidelines note that this tool may have some utility for older adolescents (Harris et al.,…”
Is adolescence a sensitive period for sociocultural processing? (2014, background): “…States by calling into question the sentencing procedures applied to adolescents (see Steinberg 2013), and many developmental scientists are still struggling with questions of culpability during an age of relative brain immaturity (Cauffman & Steinberg 2000, Steinberg 2009, Steinberg & Scott 2003).”
Juvenile Justice Policy and Practice: A Developmental Perspective (2015, background): “…considered but potentially important difference between adolescents and adults involves aspects of psychosocial maturation that include progress toward greater future orientation, better risk perception, and less susceptibility to peer influence (Scott et al. 1995; Cauffman and Steinberg 2000).”
Impulsive and Self-Conscious: Adolescents' Vulnerability to Advertising and Promotion (2005, background): “Because adolescents experience strong pubescent urges and have weak inhibitory control, they are more likely than either children or adults to pursue reckless and risky activities (Cauffman and Steinberg 2000; Greenberger 1982; Spear 2000; Steinberg and Cauffman 1996; Wulfert et al. 2002).”
The development of risk-taking: A multi-perspective review (2006, background): “Similarly, Steinberg and colleagues have proposed a psychosocial maturity theory of criminal and antisocial behaviors (CauVman & Steinberg, 2000a, 2000b; Steinberg, 2004; Steinberg & CauVman, 1996; Steinberg & Scott, 2003).”
Emerging Findings from Research on Adolescent Development and Juvenile Justice (2012, background): “It is a capacity that increases across adolescence (Cauffman & Steinberg, 2000; Greene, 1986; Nurmi, 1991; Steinberg et al., 2009).”
