1.	Does Family Instability Reduce Adult Offspring Socioeconomic Outcomes? Presented: Washington DC, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, March-April 2016 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Family Circumstances, Changes in; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Occupational Prestige; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Currently there is a debate in the literature investigating the association between family instability and adult offspring socioeconomic outcomes (i.e. education, income, occupation prestige). The current scholarship is limited by noncausal methodology, old data, limited data range, inconsistent measurement of family instability, and a young adult offspring sample. Using a sibling fixed effects analysis with all available waves of the NLSY79 and the NLSY79CYA, this study investigates the association between family instability and adult offspring socioeconomic outcomes while addressing the weaknesses in the existing research. Results suggest that family instability is associated with adult offspring education attainment for males and females and with occupation prestige for males. Further, this study finds that family instability is better modeled as a moderator for the association between offspring age and socioeconomic outcomes. Specifically, with each instance of family instability, the natural increase of socioeconomic outcomes that occurs with age is significantly decreased resulting in lower socioeconomic attainment.

2.	New Evidence for the Intergenerational Transmission of Family Instability Presented: San Diego CA, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April-May 2015 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Age at Birth; Cohabitation; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Marital Instability; Marriage; Maternal Employment; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Mothers, Education; Siblings Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Stable, committed relationships are linked to positive adult and child outcomes, but many adults, and parents, frequently transition into and out of marriage and cohabitation. This study investigated the intergenerational transmission of repartnering using women from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 and their offspring in the Children and Young Adults sample. Negative binomial regression and sibling fixed-effects results established that maternal and offspring repartnering are associated and that neither economic hardship nor inherited maternal characteristics accounted for this significant association. Further, both maternal repartnering prior to offspring age 18, and post 18, were associated with offspring repartnering. Results supported social learning theory, which posits that offspring learn relational skills and commitment by observing their parents' relationships and imitating them in their own relationships. These findings suggest that repartnering spans generations and that researchers should investigate potential positive, and negative implications of parental repartnering on adult outcomes.

As divorce and cohabitation dissolution in the US have increased, partnering has expanded to the point that sociologists describe a merry-go-round of partners in American families. Could one driver of the increase in the number of partners be an intergenerational transmission of partnering? We discuss three theoretical perspectives on potential mechanisms that would underlie an intergenerational transmission of partnering: the transmission of economic hardship, the transmission of marriageable characteristics and relationship skills, and the transmission of relationship commitment. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 Child and Young Adult study (NLSY79 CYA) and their mothers in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79), we examined the intergenerational transmission of partnering, including both marital and cohabitating unions, using prospective measures of family and economic instability as well as exploiting sibling data to try to identify potential mechanisms. Even after controlling for maternal demographic characteristics and socioeconomic factors, the number of maternal partners was positively associated with offspring's number of partners. Hybrid sibling Poisson regression models that examined sibling differential experiences of maternal partners indicated that there were no differences between siblings who witnessed more or fewer maternal partners. Overall, results suggested that the transmission of poor marriageable characteristics and relationship skills from mother to child may warrant additional attention as a potential mechanism through which the number of partners continues across generations.
