Heterogeneous Cognitive Development: Parental Divorce, Gender and Socioeconomic Status Presented: Denver CO, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2018 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Cognitive Ability; Divorce; Gender Differences; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Parental Marital Status; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Socioeconomic Status (SES) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Previous literature has identified negative effects of parental divorce on children's cognitive achievements, yet the heterogeneous effects of parental divorce haven't been studied thoroughly given the uneven distributions of parents' propensity to divorce. Moreover, boys and girls from various social backgrounds not only have separated growth trajectories of cognitive abilities but also experience the marital transition of adults in their family in divergent ways. Based on distributed fixed effects models using National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and Mothers between 1979 and 2006, this paper tested whether gender and SES is a factor for how negatively children absorbed the shock of parental separation, but also the early-stage and long-run outcomes of the heterogeneities associated with parental separation.
