1.	The Effects of Jail and Prison Confinement on Cohabitation and Marriage Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science 665,1 (May 2016): 103-126. Also: http://ann.sagepub.com/content/665/1/103.abstract Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Cohabitation; Incarceration/Jail; Marital History/Transitions; Marriage Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study uses the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 to explore the relationship between incarceration and the stability of cohabiting and marital relationships. Self-report dates of relatively short confinement in jail or prison (median one month) are linked with data on cohabitation and residential partnerships, by month, from ages 18 to 32. I estimate the effects of incarceration on transitions into and out of cohabitation and marriage while controlling for other salient life events (e.g., employment, parenthood). Findings indicate that incarceration precipitates an immediate and persistent disruption in residential partnerships and is also a long-term impediment to the transition to marriage (but not the transition to cohabitation). The long-term disruption in existing residential partnerships applies equally to females and males, as well as to whites, African Americans (males only), and Hispanics.

2.	Young Adults' Roles as Partners and Parents in the Context of Family Complexity Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science 654,1 (July 2014): 87-109. Also: http://ann.sagepub.com/content/654/1/87.abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Family Structure; Household Composition; Life Course; Marital Status; Parenthood; Parents, Single Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using data from the 1979 and 1997 cohorts of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, we estimate the proportions of young men and women who will take on a variety of partner and parent roles by age 30, and describe how these estimates have changed between cohorts. We then draw on identity theory and related theoretical work to consider how the multiple family roles that young adults are likely to occup--both over their life course and at a single point in time--may influence interfamily and intrafamily relationships. Our discussion highlights key implications of identity theory as it relates to family complexity and proposes several hypotheses for future empirical research, such as the greater likelihood of role conflict in families with greater complexity and limited resources. Our analysis suggests that families may be less likely to function--economically and socially--as cohesive units than has been the case in the past and than most existing policies assume.

3.	Counting the Jobless: The Impact of Job Rationing on the Measurement of Unemployment Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science 418,1 (March 1975): 45-59. Also: http://ann.sagepub.com/content/418/1/45.abstract Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Behavior; Job Search; Social Security; Unemployment Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper argues that the official definition of unemployment does not accurately consider the actual population available for work. The behavior involved in actively seeking employment is subject to a normative bias resulting from expectations, from feelings of obligations, sense of right to a job, and ease in accomplishing the job search. These expectations are a part of "job rationing ideology" which is present in Social Security regulations, which conceals the level of job shortage while alleviating strain which would otherwise result. Secondary analysis of data for women 30 to 44 supports a model of continuum of attachment to employment. Finally, normative considerations must be recognized in order to improve methods of determining labor supply; otherwise a failure to use such methods would be a barrier to intelligent economic and social planning.

4.	The Long Road to the Fast Track: Career and Family Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science 596,1 (November 2004): 20-35. Also: http://ann.sagepub.com/content/596/1/20.abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79, Young Women Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Career Patterns; College Graduates; Current Population Survey (CPS) / CPS-Fertility Supplement; Family Studies; Labor Market Demographics; Women's Education; Women's Roles Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The career and family outcomes of college graduate women suggest that the twentieth century contained five distinct cohorts. The first cohort, graduating college from 1900 to 1920, had either "family or career." The second, graduating from 1920 to 1945, had "job then family." The third cohort, the college graduate mothers of the baby boom, graduated from 1946 to the mid1960s and had "family then job." Among the fourth cohort, graduating college from the late 1960s to 1980 and whose stated goal was "career then family," 13 to 18 percent achieved both by age forty. The objective of the fifth cohort, graduating from around 1980 to 1990, has been "career and family," and 21 to 28 percent have realized that goal by age forty. The author traces the demographic and labor force experiences of these five cohorts of college graduates and discusses why "career and family" outcomes changed over time.

5.	Refocusing Civic Education: Developing the Skills Young People Need to Engage in Democracy The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science 705,1 (4 November 2023). Also: https://doi.org/10.1177/00027162231177798 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Civic Education; Democracy; Noncognitive Skills Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Schools have traditionally taken a “just-the-facts-ma’am” approach to civic education, focusing on governmental structures and political systems. We argue that preparing young people to engage with democracy requires far more than rote memorization of facts and figures. Schools should be laboratories of democracy, where young people’s civic intentions are converted into civic behaviors. We argue that to realize that transformation, educators must impart real-world knowledge, practical skills, and nurturing abilities that are not captured by standardized tests of academic achievement: namely, the interpersonal and intrapersonal abilities conducive to civic mindedness. We discuss what these oft-labeled “noncognitive” skills are and how they are measured, review the evidence that shows how they foster democratic participation, articulate a vision for how civics can help develop students’ noncognitive skills, and lay out a research agenda for scholars seeking to teach young people the skills requisite to actively participate in democracy.

6.	Single Mothers, the Underclass, and Social Policy Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science 501 (January 1989): 92-104. Also: http://ann.sagepub.com/content/501/1/92.abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Allowance, Pocket Money; Child Support; Fathers, Absence; Household Composition; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Labor Force Participation; Mothers; Parents, Single; Poverty; Racial Differences; Transfers, Parental; Underclass; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper focuses on the question of whether mother-only families are part of an emerging urban underclass, defined as a population exhibiting weak labor force attachment and residential isolation in neighborhoods with high concentrations of poverty and unemployment. Analysis of national longitudinal survey data (NLSY, PSID) indicates that only a small minority of single mothers fit the description of an underclass--less than 5 percent--but a small and growing minority of black, never-married mothers meet all three criteria. It is argued that welfare programs are necessary, but that too heavy a reliance on welfare can facilitate the growth of an underclass. In contrast, universal programs such as child support assurance, child care, health care, children's allowances, and full employment would discourage such a trend and promote economic independence among single mothers.

7.	Habits of the Heart: Youth Religious Participation as Progress, Peril, or Change? Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science 637,1 (September 2011): 78-98. Also: http://ann.sagepub.com/content/637/1/78.abstract Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Ethnic Differences; Family Income; Modeling, Growth Curve/Latent Trajectory Analysis; Religion; Religious Influences; Social Capital Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The landscape of youth religious participation is an underengaged area across both the humanities and social science. While the humanities lack empirical data on the changing religious life worlds of youths, existing empirical work in the social sciences suggests that institutional religion buffers criminality and delinquency—a brand of engagement the authors refer to as “buffering transgression.” This is a process that both conceives and privileges religion as an institutional and a moral force responsible for creating prosocial behavior. While empirical studies on youths and religion keep religion arrested to institutional and moral functions, scholars in the humanities work hard to legitimate youth cultural forms, such as hip hop, by conflating its rugged dimensions with a quest (and hope) for democratic sensibilities—a motif the authors suggest is rooted in ideologies of teleological progress. Using the tropes progress, peril, and change, this article explores the utility (and limitations) of empirical work and the often misguided efforts to moralize religion. Here the authors raise queries regarding youth cultural change and religion and quantitatively model youth religious change over 16 years. The implications of these theoretical and empirical interventions point toward future work at the social scientific intersections of religion in culture.

It has been well documented that response rates to cross-sectional surveys have declined over the past few decades. It is less clear whether response rates to longitudinal surveys have experienced similar changes over time. This article examines trends in response rates in several major, national longitudinal surveys in the United States and abroad. The authors find that for most of these surveys, the wave-to-wave response rate has not declined. This article also describes the various approaches that these surveys use to minimize attrition.

9.	The Family-Go-Round: Family Complexity and Father Involvement from a Father's Perspective Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science 654,1 (July 2014): 169-184. Also: http://ann.sagepub.com/content/654/1/169.full Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Family Structure; Fathers, Involvement; Fertility, Multiple Partners; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Parents, Non-Custodial Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Men who have children with several partners are often assumed to be 'deadbeats' who eschew their responsibilities to their children. Using data from the nationally representative National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 cohort (NLSY-97), we show that most men in complex families intensively parent the children of one mother while being less involved, or not involved at all, with children by others. Repeated qualitative interviews with 110 low-income noncustodial fathers reveal that men in complex families often engage with and provide, at least to some degree, for all of the biological and stepchildren who live in one mother's household. These activities often exceed those extended to biological children living elsewhere. Interviews also show that by devoting most or all of their resources to the children of just one mother, men in complex families feel successful as fathers even if they are not intensively involved with their other biological children.
