Changes in Nonresident Father-Child Contact from 1976 to 2002 Family Relations 58,1 (February 2009): 41-53. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1741-3729.2008.00533.x/abstract Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Child Support; Fathers and Children; Fathers, Absence; Fathers, Involvement; Parental Influences; Parental Marital Status; Parents, Non-Custodial To study changes in nonresident father contact since the 1970s, we pooled data from 4 national surveys: the National Survey of Children (1976), the National Survey of Families and Households (1987 - 1988), the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1996), and the National Survey of America's Families (2002). On the basis of mothers' reports, levels of contact rose significantly across surveys. Paying child support and having a nonmarital birth were strongly related to contact frequency. The increase in contact may be beneficial in general but problematic if it occurs within the context of hostile interparental relationships. Because nonresident fathers are having more contact with their children now than in the past, an increasing need exists for practitioners to help parents find ways to separate their former romantic roles from their ongoing parental roles and to develop at least minimally cooperative coparental relationships.

School Age Offspring of Adolescent Mothers: Environments and Outcomes Family Relations 40, 4 (October 1991): 442-447. Also: http://www.jstor.org/pss/584902 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Armed Forces Qualifications Test (AFQT); Children, Academic Development; Educational Attainment; General Assessment; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Maternal Employment; Mothers, Adolescent; Parental Influences; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT); Poverty This research was designed to identify factors contributing to competent parenting by adolescent mothers and optimal outcomes for their school-age children. A sample of 258 first-born 6- and 7-year-old children whose mothers were aged 14 through 18 at the time of their children's births were selected for these analyses from the NLSY. Optimal parenting was influenced by background factors as well as by factors evolving since birth; in turn these factors and parenting influenced outcomes for children. These findings can inform the design of intervention programs for adolescent mothers. |

Selection Effects in the Relationship Between Women's Work/Family Status and Perceived Control Family Relations 48,2 (April 1999): 181-188. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/585082 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Control; Employment; Family Characteristics; Family Structure; Job Status; Well-Being; Women Using longitudinal data from the National Longitudinal Study of Young Women's Labor Force Experience (NLSYW), this study explores the association between women's work/family status and perceived control, as well as the association between job quality and perceived control among employed women. Selection effects are then tested to determine if early perceived control is more strongly associated with current work/family status than is current perceived control. Findings suggest that current work/family status and current job quality are the strongest correlates of current perceived control and that the effects of early perceived control on current work/family status are minimal. These findings underscore the importance of family structure and women's employment in determining factors that are important to individual well-being. |

Child Depressive Symptoms, Spanking, and Emotional Support: Differences Between African American and European American Youth Family Relations 57,3 (July 2008): 335-350. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/20456797 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Depression (see also CESD); Discipline; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Parenting Skills/Styles; Punishment, Corporal; Racial Differences Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth—Mother and Child samples, we explored the relationships among child and adolescent depressive symptoms, spanking, and emotional support offered to youth. We present cross-sectional and change models for both African Americans and European Americans. Findings showed that regardless of race, spanking is associated with more depressive symptoms in the cross-sectional analysis but does not appear to maintain this relationship over time. With regard to emotional support, depressive symptoms for African American youth are inversely related to the emotional support their mothers provide for them in cross-sectional models, but the benefit does not persist in our change models. For European American children and adolescents, emotional support is associated with fewer depressive symptoms in the short term and over time.

The Individual Economic Costs of Teenage Childbearing Family Relations 31,2 (April 1982): 249-259. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/584404 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Age at First Birth; Childbearing; Children; Educational Attainment; Fertility; Teenagers; Wages Although the desire to have children remains high among most Americans, more future parents are beginning to acknowledge the disadvantages of large families and the advantages of small ones. Previous findings on the economic costs of raising children are reviewed and examined especially as they apply to the rapidly growing population of teenage childbearers. Using data from a variety of sources, information was tabulated on the average loss of education by age at first birth, the average annual income and hourly wage for women by educational attainment, the expected annual reduction of income due to low educational attainment, and the direct costs of subsequent fertility. Results showed that children born to teenagers were substantially more expensive than those born to women who delay first births until their twenties. |

Young Adults' Financial Advice-seeking Behavior: The Roles of Parental Financial Socialization Family Relations published online (2 December 2021): DOI: 10.1111/fare.12625. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/fare.12625 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Allowance, Pocket Money; Financial Behaviors/Decisions; Financial Literacy; Parental Influences; Parenting Skills/Styles; Personality/Big Five Factor Model or Traits Objective: This study investigated the association between family financial socialization during adolescence and seeking financial advice in early adulthood. Personality, financial risk tolerance, and financial knowledge were examined as mediators. Gender differences throughout the parental financial socialization process and outcome were also explored. Method: Using the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and the family financial socialization model, we constructed a structural framework in which we could examine whether two aspects of family financial socialization, parenting style and receiving allowance, influenced young adults' propensity to seek financial advice. Also, the mediating roles of personality traits, financial risk tolerance, and financial knowledge were examined. Results: Personality traits, financial risk tolerance, and financial knowledge were directly associated with financial advice-seeking behavior. Parenting style and receiving allowance during adolescence were indirectly associated with young adults' financial advice-seeking behavior. Additional analyses by gender showed significant differences in the direct and indirect associations among financial socialization factors, personality traits, and financial advice-seeking behavior between men and women. |

As the Pendulum Swings: Teenage Childbearing and Social Concern Family Relations 40,2 (April 1991): 127-138. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/585470 Cohort(s): NLS General, NLSY79 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Data Quality/Consistency; Demography; Heterogeneity; Poverty; Pregnancy, Adolescent Argues against conclusions drawn by Geronimus from analysis of sisters in the NLSY. This article assesses the evidence for revisionist views of teenage childbearing. These theories suggest that the perception of teenage pregnancy as a growing social problem has been caused by the political agendas of certain interest groups; the consequences of early childbearing have been exaggerated; and that pregnancy among disadvantaged teens may be an adaptive response to poverty. The article first considers demographic patterns and fertility trends that point to why teenage pregnancy and childbearing was regarded as a growing problem in the 1970s. Next, the consequences of early childbearing are considered. Finally, the notion that early childbearing is the desired outcome of a rational choice is considered in light of survey and ethnographic data. |

Teenage Childbearing and Social and Reproductive Disadvantage: The Evolution of Complex Questions and the Demise of Simple Answers Family Relations 40,4 (October 1991): 463-471. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/584905 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Childbearing, Adolescent; Health Factors Rebuttal to Furstenbers's (1991) critique of Geronimus' research on sisters in the NLSY. Scientific progress in understanding the nature of associations between teen childbearing and social or reproductive disadvantage has increased the complexity of this knowledge offered some surprising findings and led to expectable confusion. Assessing these new research findings and incorporating them into appropriate policy debate and development is a challenge complicated by the failure of those translating them for practitioners to do so accurately. Examples of such inadequate translations are discussed in the context of recent findings raising doubts about traditional estimates of the contribution teen childbearing per se makes to social and public health problems. A call for unbiased assessment and open discussion of new research findings is made. |

Spanking rates are often high for all groups, but patterns also vary by age, sex, SES, marital status, ethnicity, religion, and community type. Policy discussion focuses on reevaluation of spanking norms, arguments for using the term corporal punishment in research and policy, and strategies to reduce the use of physical force as discipline. |

The Predictors of Parental Use of Corporal Punishment Family Relations 56,1 (January 2007): 80-91.

Some recent research suggesting that the use of corporal punishment may have significant long-term negative effects on children has prompted increasing exploration and interest in the issue. We used tobit regression analysis and data from the 2000 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to examine both the prevalence and the chronicity of spanking in a nationally representative sample of parents. Mother's characteristics (e.g., age, education) and neighborhood context did not show a relationship with parental use of corporal punishment. Among parents who used corporal punishment, being Protestant had a relatively large relationship with its use. Although children's externalizing behaviors had some association with parent's propensity to spank, findings suggest that use of corporal punishment may be better understood as part of a constellation of behaviors relating to a parenting style. Further, findings indicate that it is easier to predict the incidence of corporal punishment than to predict its frequency of use. |

Does Change in Young Men's Employment Influence Fathering? Family Relations 59,4 (October 2010): 479-493.

Data were drawn from the Young Adult supplement to the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1979). Supporting economic theory, fathers were more involved when they and their partner were employed full time and were less involved when their employment exceeded that of their partner. Although fathers tended to be less involved when they worked less, fathers who held traditional gender role attitudes were more involved than those who held nontraditional gender role attitudes. The results suggest the important part fathers' attitudes and values have in influencing their involvement with children under differing employment conditions.

Partnership and Insomnia Status Among Mothers Family Relations published online (7 June 2020): DOI: 10.1111/fare.12455. Also: 10.1111/fare.12455 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Cohabitation; Marital Status; Marriage; Sleep Method: Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, a nationally representative and longitudinal cohort study (n = 1721), the primary aim of the present study is to test the association between partnership status and sleep. Further, given the association between race–ethnicity and partnership status, as well as race-ethnicity and sleep, this study also considers whether the association between mothers' partnership status and risk of insomnia varies by race and ethnicity. Results: Logistic regression results suggest that married mothers are less likely than cohabiting and formerly partnered mothers to experience insomnia. No sleep differences were found when comparing among the unmarried groups. |

Growing Up in a Single-Parent Family: The Effect on Education and Earnings of Young Men Family Relations 35,1 (January 1986): 161-168. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/584295 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Men Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Earnings; Educational Attainment; Family Influences; Parents, Single The effect of living in a single-parent family on the educational attainment and earnings of young males is examined, utilizing data from the Mature Women and Young Men. Three specifications of living in a single-parent family are tested, using ordinary least squares analysis on models representing education attainment and earnings. The analyses show that living in a single-parent family has a direct negative effect on education, but only an indirect impact on earnings via education. The effect is strongest among those who lived in one-parent families during the preschool years. |

Methods: The current study used data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 for Children and Young Adults. The two data sets were merged based on mother and child's identification number. The final sample consisted of 1,245 non‐Black/non‐Hispanic, 740 Black, and 538 Hispanic dyads. Multiple linear regression and logistic regression analyses were conducted. Results: There are ethnic and racial disparities in net worth and poverty among mothers. Black and Hispanic mothers were less likely to accumulate net worth compared with non‐Black/non‐Hispanic mothers, and they were also at greater risk of being in poverty compared with non‐Black/non‐Hispanic mothers. For intergenerational economic mobility, net worth and not living in poverty across mothers were associated with higher income among young adult children. Black race moderated the relationship between maternal net worth and young adult children's income. |

We used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997 to compare family characteristics of adolescents of a mixed-race or multiethnic background with those of a monoracial or monoethnic background. Mixed-race or multiethnic youth reported feeling less supported by parents and reported less satisfactory parent-adolescent relationships. Mixed-race/multiethnic youth were more like monoracial White youth in terms of being independent but were more like racial or ethnic minorities (African Americans, Hispanics) in regard to family activities. Reasons for these findings are explored. We discuss the need for future research on the experiences of mixed-race/multiethnic youth. |

Comparisons are made between women experiencing an increase vs. a decrease in economic well-being. It was found that per capita income was significantly affected by education, job training, health, and race. Differences in the marginal effects of job training and health among the two groups of women were found. Policy implications are discussed. |

Parental Support Influencing the Timing of Repeat Pregnancy for Adolescent Mothers Family Relations: Interdisciplinary Journal of Applied Family Science published online (7 March 2023): DOI: 10.1111/fare.12862. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/fare.12862 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Births, Repeat / Spacing; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Pregnancy, Adolescent Objective: This study examined the relationship between parental support and the timing of adolescent mothers' repeat pregnancies. Background: Short interpregnancy timing during adolescence, or an early repeat pregnancy, is a concerning outcome for adolescent mothers because they exacerbate the previous and ongoing adversities of adolescent mothers. Although social support tends to be positive for parenting and well-being, it is unclear whether social support is protective for when adolescent mothers experience a repeat pregnancy. Parents are the primary source of support for adolescent mothers; thus, it is important to examine their influence on adolescent mothers' experience(s) of repeat pregnancy. Methods: Semi-Markov multistate models were applied to 20 years of data to examine the relationship between support and timing and risk of subsequent pregnancies for 471 adolescent mothers in the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997. Results: This study found that emotional and financial support from parents predicts a higher likelihood of delayed repeat pregnancies, whereas informational support from parents predicts earlier repeat pregnancies for adolescent mothers. |

Marital Quality and Divorce Decisions: How Do Premarital Cohabitation and Nonmarital Childbearing Matter? Family Relations 61,4 (October 2012): 571-585. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1741-3729.2012.00724.x/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Childbearing, Premarital/Nonmarital; Cohabitation; Divorce; Marital Satisfaction/Quality; Modeling, Fixed Effects This study used the 1979 cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (N = 3,481) to test whether the association between marital quality and divorce is moderated by premarital cohabitation or nonmarital childbearing status. Prior research identified lower marital quality as a key explanation for why couples who cohabit or have children before marrying are more likely to divorce than other couples. Using event history and fixed-effects models, we found that the effect of marital quality on divorce is similar for cohabitors and noncohabitors, with cohabitors more likely to end both high- and low-quality marriages. In contrast, the relationship between marital quality and divorce is weaker for women with nonmarital births; they are less likely than others to dissolve low-quality marriages. We discuss how commitment norms and self-efficacy might explain these differences in the association between marital quality and divorce. |
