Question

Early maturation in girls is associated with: high levels of self-esteem throughout life. high levels of self-efficacy, especially in the adolescent years. high levels of sexual abstinence when compared to late maturing girls. high levels of vulnerability for depression and eating disorders.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: . high levels of self-efficacy, especially in the adolescent years

Many teenagers have high self esteem even though they are still immature (which explains why many 'popular kids' choose to bully some of their fellow students). High level of self-efficacy on the other hand shows the overall competence that the girls had before they compete in real world.
