The Long-Term Impact of Family Routines and Parental Knowledge on Alcohol Use and Health Behaviors: Results from a 14 Year Follow-Up Journal of Child and Family Studies 26,9 (September 2017): 2495-2504. Also: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10826-017-0752-2 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Adolescent Health; Alcohol Use; Family Environment; Family Influences; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Parenting Skills/Styles Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Previous research has found significant associations between family routines (e.g., time shared and family meals), parenting characteristics, and later adolescent health behaviors. In general, greater family interactions, parental monitoring, and more optimal parenting style have been associated with less alcohol use during adolescence. We expanded upon this work by examining effects of family and parenting characteristics on alcohol use and health behaviors during young adulthood. We also followed tenets of the Contextual Model of Parenting by examining the moderating effects of parenting style on the associations between parent/family practices and outcomes. Data came from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. A total of 5419 youth were surveyed at 12-14 years of age, and then annually for the next 14 years; 4565 were surveyed at a 10 year follow-up and 4539 were examined at the 14 year follow-up (84% retention). Multivariate models, controlling for sex and race/ethnicity, indicated that, in general, family routines and parental knowledge in early adolescence were associated with healthier behaviors at both the 10-year and 14-follow-ups. Results also showed that the protective effects of parental knowledge and family routines were strongest in families characterized by and authoritative parenting style. |

Parents' Psychological Well-being and Story Reading: A Six Year Cross-Lagged Analysis Journal of Child and Family Studies published online (4 March 2022): DOI: 10.1007/s10826-022-02272-7. Also: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10826-022-02272-7 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Children; Depression (see also CESD); Parents, Behavior; Pearlin Mastery Scale; Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) (see Self-Esteem); Well-Being Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Research has documented significant influences of parental psychological well-being on parenting. Yet, few studies have examined multiple measures of psychological well-being simultaneously to understand the underlying pathways and mediation factors. The present study employed new parents, without chronically high depressive symptoms, to examine across-time associations between the frequency of story reading and multiple measures of parental psychological well-being, namely the depressive symptoms, self-esteem, and global sense of personal control, in the first six years after becoming parents. Cross-lagged panel models with three time intervals were constructed to examine the across-time associations with 177 new parents. Significant direct and indirect effects between parental psychological well-being and story reading in the first six years after childbirth were identified. In the first three years after childbirth, new parents with more depressive symptoms and lower self-esteem tended to engage in more frequent story reading. New parents' global sense of personal control, when the child was one to three years old, had a direct positive effect on story reading two to three years later. Through the mediation of self-esteem, parents with low psychological well-being after childbirth tended to engage in more frequent story reading when the child was three to six years old. Furthermore, the indirect effects of story reading on parental well-being were mediated by self-esteem and global sense of personal control. Findings from the present study underscored the importance of considering multiple measures of psychological well-being in understanding the bidirectional interactions between new parents' well-being and early story reading in early family context. |

Communicative Support and Parental Knowledge among African American Residential Fathers: Longitudinal Associations with Adolescent Substance Use Journal of Child and Family Studies 28,12 (December 2019): 3433-3445. Also: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10826-019-01525-2 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Black Family; Fathers, Presence; Parent-Child Interaction; Parental Influences; Parenting Skills/Styles; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Objectives: The current study examines how African American residential fathers' communicative support and parental knowledge influence adolescents' substance use across a 3-year period. Additionally, this study examines whether these associations vary for African American boys and girls. Method: Participants were 665 African American adolescents (M = 13.1 years of age; 49% female) from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth-1997. All adolescents resided with their fathers or father figures. Individual and parallel process growth curve analyses examined how communicative support and parental knowledge were associated with initial levels and rate of change in African American adolescents' substance use. Results: Although African American girls exhibited higher initial levels of substance use, there was greater growth in boys' substance use over time. Analyses indicated that residential fathers' parental knowledge was associated with substance use over time for both girls and boys. Findings also revealed that demographic factors more strongly predicted father-daughter relational characteristics. |

Family Structure and First-Term College GPA: Do Resources, Selectivity, and Resilience Factors Explain Potential Differences Across Family Structures? Journal of Child and Family Studies published online (14 July 2022): DOI: 10.1007/s10826-022-02368-0. Also: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10826-022-02368-0 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): College Education; Family Resources; Family Structure; Grade Point Average (GPA)/Grades; Post-Secondary Transcripts; Resilience/Developmental Assets Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Research shows negative associations between living in single-parent or stepparent families and average academic outcomes. But some children from non-traditional family structures are successful, such as those who enroll in college. Such students may be well suited to handle transitions to college because of their experience handling family transitions. By contrast, characteristics of non-traditional family structures generally associated with lower academic performance may persist into the collegiate context. We use the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1997 Cohort to compare first-term college GPA for students from two-biological-parent, single-parent, and stepparent families. We employ data from the NLSY97 Post-Secondary Transcript Data (NLSY97-PST) (N = 3346) and regression analyses to test the degree to which three competing theoretical perspectives–--resources, family structure selectivity processes, or student resilience factors--might explain potential differences in college performance. Students from single-parent and stepparent families perform worse in their first collegiate semester than their peers from two-biological-parent families. Resources and selectivity factors explain differences for students from single-parent families, but explaining differences for students from stepparent families requires accounting for resilience factors as well. |

Perceptions of Family Relationship Factors and Depressive Symptoms in Adolescents: What Roles Do Parents and Gender Play? Journal of Child and Family Studies 17,1 (February 2008): 127-139 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Depression (see also CESD); Family Characteristics; Gender Differences; Teenagers Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The association of adolescents' perceptions of family relationships and adolescent depressive symptoms was investigated using a sample of 2,918 youth participating in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. Boys showed fewer depressive symptoms than girls, as hypothesized. In general, adolescents' perceptions of family relationships were negatively related to depressive symptoms. Mother support of father predicted depressive symptoms for girls only, whereas father support of mother predicted depressive symptoms for boys only. These findings contradict previous research that suggested family functioning is more related to outcomes of adolescent girls than boys. Suggestions for future research and implications for marital and family therapists are discussed.

Time-Varying Outcomes Associated With Maternal Age at First Birth Journal of Child and Family Studies published online (11 October 2019): DOI: 10.1007/s10826-019-01616-0. Also: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10826-019-01616-0 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Age at First Birth; Educational Attainment; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Mothers, Income; Parenting Skills/Styles Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Objectives: The operational definition of early motherhood remains equivocal across the literature. In response to the tendency of using age at first birth as a categorical predictor in previous research, the time-varying relationship between maternal age at first birth and socioeconomic and parenting/home outcomes was examined using longitudinal data. Methods: Time-varying effect models were employed to examine educational attainment, home/parenting quality scores, and annual income as a function of age at first birth, controlling for race/ethnicity and presence of the father in the household during child ages 6–9. Results: Peak scores for outcomes were observed around maternal age 30 in all three models. Parenting/home quality improved with maternal age at first birth until mothers reached the late 20’s, when scores appeared to level out. Highest grade completed increased until just after age 30. Total annual income increased considerably until about age 30 then leveled out, although the plateau may be due to reduced sample size at the most advanced maternal ages. Father presence in the household and race/ethnicity were associated with all three outcomes. |

Students’ Perceptions of Unsafe Schools: An Ecological Systems Analysis Journal of Child and Family Studies 21,3 (June 2012): 428-438. Also: http://www.springerlink.com/content/w1703k12un5043g3/ Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Children, Well-Being; Handguns, carrying or using; Neighborhood Effects; Parenting Skills/Styles; School Characteristics/Rating/Safety Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In the aftermath of several school shooting incidents in recent years, students’ perceptions of unsafe schools has been a major concern for parents, teachers, school officials, school practitioners, and policy-makers. Using Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems framework, we examined the micro-, meso-, and exosystem level factors associated with perceptions of unsafe school environments in a nationally representative sample of 10- to 15-year-old youth in the United States. We found that for the socio-demographic characteristics, students who were older, male, and poor had increased risks of perceiving higher levels of unsafe school environments. Within the microsystem of the family, our results indicate that parent-youth discussions of school activities/events decreased the risk of students perceiving unsafe schools. All of the school environment variables—ease of making friends, teachers’ involvement, observed weapon carrying, and school rule enforcement—were related in the expected direction to students’ perceiving their schools as unsafe. At the mesosystem level, findings from our study demonstrate that variables measuring parental school involvement were unrelated to perceptions of school safety. Finally, at the exosystem level, we found that students’ perceptions of residing in a safer neighborhood and residence in a non-central city metropolitan area, compared with a central city, decreased the odds of perceiving school environments as unsafe. School policy and practice implications are discussed. |

Trajectory of Adolescent Obesity: Exploring the Impact of Prenatal to Childhood Experiences Journal of Child and Family Studies 23,6 (August 2014): 1090-1101.

This study examined longitudinal associations of prenatal exposures as well as childhood familial experiences with obesity status from ages 10 to 18. Hierarchical generalized linear modeling was applied to examine 5,156 adolescents from the child sample of the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Higher maternal weight, maternal smoking during pregnancy, lower maternal education, and lack of infant breastfeeding were contributors to elevated adolescent obesity risk in early adolescence. However, maternal age, high birth weight of child, and maternal annual income exhibited long-lasting impact on obesity risk over time throughout adolescence. Additionally, childhood familial experiences were significantly related to risk of adolescent obesity. Appropriate use of family rules in the home and parental engagement in children’s daily activities lowered adolescent obesity risk, but excessive television viewing heightened adolescent obesity risk. Implementation of consistent family rules and parental engagement may benefit adolescents at risk for obesity. |

Parental Monitoring During Early Adolescence Deters Adolescent Sexual Initiation: Discrete-Time Survival Mixture Analysis Journal of Child and Family Studies 20,4 (August 2011): 511-520. Also: http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail?sid=5355e362-ae68-4223-aa4d-e6639b118943%40sessionmgr13&vid=1&hid=13&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#db=ehh&AN=62544454 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Adolescent Sexual Activity; Age at First Intercourse; Behavioral Differences; Behavioral Problems; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Ethnic Differences; Modeling; Parent Supervision/Monitoring; Racial Differences; Risk-Taking; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We used discrete-time survival mixture modeling to examine 5,305 adolescents from the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth regarding the impact of parental monitoring during early adolescence (ages 14-16) on initiation of sexual intercourse and problem behavior engagement (ages 14-23). Four distinctive parental-monitoring groups were identified and labeled as 'High,' 'Increasing,' 'Decreasing,' and 'Low'. About 68% of adolescents received a high level of parental monitoring from ages 14 to 16 (High), 6 and 9% respectively exhibited an accelerated (Increasing) and a decelerated trajectory (Decreasing), and 17% had consistently low parental monitoring (Low). Relative to participants in the Low group, adolescents in the High group delayed sexual initiation by 1.5 years. Males, relative to females, were more likely to have had a low trajectory of parental monitoring, and were more likely to initiate sexual intercourse before age 14. In contrast to White Adolescents, Hispanics and Blacks were less likely to receive High parental monitoring, and had a higher rate of early sexual initiation before age 14. The study demonstrates the temporal relationship of parental monitoring with adolescent sexual initiation from a longitudinal perspective. An increase of parental monitoring across ages is accompanied with a decrease of sexual risk. The continual high level of parental monitoring from ages 14 to 16 also mitigated the risk of engagement in substance use and delinquent behaviors from ages 14 to 23.

Teenage Fatherhood as a Potential Turning Point in the Lives of Delinquent Youth Journal of Child and Family Studies 24,6 (June 2015): 1685-1696. Also: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10826-014-9971-y Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Arrests; Crime; Criminal Justice System; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Fatherhood; Fathers, Absence; Fathers, Presence; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The present study examines whether fatherhood, generally, and residential fatherhood, specifically, predicts desistance from criminal behavior and reduced contact with the criminal justice system among delinquent teens. Using multiple waves of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, two models were estimated and analyzed via fixed-effects negative binomial regression comparing periods of residential fatherhood to periods of non-residential fatherhood and non-fatherhood. Results indicated that nonresidential fatherhood placed delinquent teens at greater odds for future arrest compared to residential fatherhood. Further, delinquent teens when residing with their children reported less offending behaviors, such as marijuana use and drug distribution, compared to periods when they did not reside with their children. |

Intergenerational Transmission of Antisocial Behavior and Age at Primiparity Journal of Child and Family Studies 24,3 (March 2015): 798-808.

This study developed a model linking maternal and offspring antisocial behavior, with particular emphasis on whether this link is especially strong in teenage mother-child dyads. Data were taken from a longitudinal government dataset; structural equation modeling and invariance testing was used to test the hypotheses. Good model fit indicated that maternal and offspring antisociality are linked, and antisocial behavior persists across childhood, but that these relationships are not dependent on the mother's age at primiparity. These results suggest that although maternal behavior predicts offspring antisociality, being the child of a teenage mother is not an independent risk factor for the development of antisociality. Given that mothers in general tend to transmit their antisocial behavior patterns, intervention for antisocial behavior patterns in females before or during adolescence should contribute to a significant lessening of not only their own behavior problems, but also the incidence of antisocial behavior in their future offspring. |

Home Improvement: Evaluating Secular Changes in NLSY HOME-Cognitive Stimulation and Emotional Support Scores Journal of Child and Family Studies published online (3 November 2021): DOI: 10.1007/s10826-021-02149-1.

This study evaluated changes over time in the quality of children's home environment, using the Home Observation Measurement of the Environment (HOME). Longitudinal increases in HOME scores were predicted by both theory and past empirical results. Analysis of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Children data (N = 5715, aged 0-14) suggested that HOME scores have been increasing, and that the increase is a family-level phenomenon. The data were a sample of children born to mothers who were approximately representative of the United States in 1979. An increase in HOME scores occurred primarily for the three age categories younger than ten. Effect sizes were of approximately the same magnitude as the Flynn effect for intelligence. These results have implications for policy and future research regarding the home environment. |

Maternal Behavior Prior to Parenting as a Transgenerational Predictor of Offspring Behavior Journal of Child and Family Studies 23,8 (November 2014): 1501-1509.

Behavior problems influence development at multiple stages over the lifespan. The present study explores the relations between maternal behavior prior to parenting and offspring behavior problems in childhood and adolescence using National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data (N = 2,820 dyads with 50.0 % male offspring and 52.2 % of ethnic/racial minority status). Index scores for behavior problems were created for mothers prior to parenting and for offspring at two time points. Path analyses indicated that maternal behavior problems prior to parenthood predicted offspring being at increased risk for behavior problems in childhood and adolescence. Mothers� behavior had a significant influence on adolescent behavior, even after childhood behavior problems and demographic covariates were taken into account. Post-hoc analyses demonstrated the stability of behavior problems is especially strong for males. Results support a long tradition of research and the external validity of the stability of behavior problems as well as the importance of maternal behavior prior to parenthood for their future offspring across development. Clinical and policy implications are discussed. |

Mothers and Fathers, Sons and Daughters: Parental Knowledge and Quality of the Parent-Child Relationship as Predictors of Delinquency in Same- and Cross-Sex Parent‒Child Dyads Journal of Child and Family Studies 28,7 (July 2019): 1850-1861.

Objectives: This study tested two putative mechanisms for the perceived parental knowledge-delinquency relationship using a longitudinal cross-lagged research design. Methods: The first mechanism tested in this study proposed that a positive parent-child relationship enhanced parental knowledge, which, in turn, inhibited delinquency. The second mechanism started with parental knowledge, which then led to improved parent-child affiliation, which, in turn, reduced delinquency. These two pathways were evaluated in 5102 mothers (2631 sons, 2471 daughters) and 3999 fathers (2117 sons, 1882 daughters) of adolescent members of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97). Results: Causal mediation analysis revealed that both pathways (positive relationship → parental knowledge; parental knowledge → positive relationship) were significant in all four dyads (fathers-sons, fathers-daughters, mothers-sons, and mothers-daughters). |
