Poster summary

Using a multiple-group latent growth curve model to analyze trends in parenting centrality, we found that eventual parents tended to increase in parenting centrality across the first few years of emerging adulthood while non-parents tended to decrease. Future research should examine the timing of children and the value of parenthood.
