Kids, Lives, Families, Friends/Virginia Institute for Development in Adulthood (KLIFF/VIDA)
The KLIFF/VIDA study examines the influences of social relationships, autonomy, and attachments to parents as they predict development from adolescence into adulthood. Beginning in 1998, the study recruited 184 adolescents aged 13 years from the seventh and eighth grades of a public middle school drawing from suburban and urban populations in the mid-Atlantic United States. Participants were followed up annually from the ages 13 to 19 years, and 23 to 33 years. Data was collected from participants themselves along with their parents, peers, and romantic partners. When participants were between the ages of 22 to 37 years, their children were recruited, resulting in a total of 114 children between the ages of 3 to 8 years.
