Methodology / Source

Choukas-Bradley et al. — Add Health ideal relationship behaviors
National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health

The analysis used 18,392 respondents ages 12–19 from Add Health Wave I. It reports desired behavior sequences in hypothetical relationships, not actual age at first kiss. No age frequency, mean, median, or percentile is available from the cited paper; no interpolation is used.

About this calculator

What this calculator measures

See how your age at first kiss compares with a relevant reference population. The comparison uses the reference population and evidence identified on this page.

How to interpret your result

A percentile describes the approximate percentage of the stated reference population with a lower value. When a source supports only categories, medians, or averages, Humanlytic shows that broader comparison instead of inventing an exact percentile.

Methodology

How this works

Evidence quality

Limited-data benchmark

Method

The cited Add Health-derived paper analyzes the preferred sequence of behaviors in hypothetical ideal relationships. It does not report actual first-kiss ages, so Humanlytic validates and describes the entry without creating an unsupported earlier-or-later percentile.

Data source

Add Health and Choukas-Bradley et al. (2015)

Limitations

The cited paper measures the desired sequence of behaviors in a hypothetical ideal relationship; it does not publish age at actual first kiss or an age-frequency distribution. Humanlytic accepts and describes the entry but cannot calculate a numerical percentile from this source.
