II-A-1: Early to Mid-Life Predictors of Leadership Development
Abstract
This research supported data collection of measures of adult success (i.e., well-being, citizenship/leadership, civic engagement, life satisfaction) from participants in the Fullerton Longitudinal Study (FLS). The FLS is an extremely rich dataset, following children born in 1978, who were assessed on numerous developmental and psychological variables every 6 months, from age 1 year to 3.5 years, and then annually until age 17. Adult assessments were completed at age 24 and 29 years, with an intense, on-line data collection at 38 years of age. The focus at age 29 was primarily on the leadership experiences of the participants at work and in the community. The 38-year assessment repeated the leadership measures, but also included a broad range of measures of Òlife success,Ó including life satisfaction, psychological capital, well-being, civic engagement, health, happiness, grit, and adjustment. The results of this research will make a unique contribution to our understanding of how early life experiences Ð family structure and relationships, education, socialization, and co-curricular activities Ð affect important adult outcomes such as active and engaged citizenship, leadership, well-being, and life satisfaction in mid-adulthood.
