Marijuana Use Initiation among Young Adults in the USA: The Role of Family and Peer Socialization SN Social Sciences 2 (23 April 2022): 53. Also: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s43545-022-00360-5 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Drug Use; Family Environment; Gender Differences; Parent Supervision/Monitoring; Peers/Peer influence/Peer relations Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A positive social influence is a crucial factor in reducing marijuana smoking during adolescence. Inadequate research has examined the role of family and peer socialization in marijuana use initiation among young Americans. In this study, we examine the association of family and peer influence with marijuana use among young American adults. We used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997, comprising 3278 respondents, to conduct an event-history analysis stratified by sex. The results show that while low monitoring by fathers was associated with higher marijuana use among both sexes, low monitoring by mothers was associated with higher marijuana use among only females. Low family routines levels and higher involvement with peers have shown similar associations among both sexes, with higher odds of marijuana use initiation. Also, low family routine levels were associated with increased marijuana use during adolescence for only males. Socialization processes by parents and peers have crucial implications for substance use initiation among young adults in the USA. Type of family process and peer influence, as well as sex, should be considered in efforts seeking to considerably reduce marijuana use initiation during the transition to adulthood in the USA. |

The First Family Formation among Young Americans: The Role of Family Process SN Social Sciences 1,50 (2021): DOI: 10.1007/s43545-020-00045-x. Also: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s43545-020-00045-x Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Age at First Marriage; Family Formation; Family Process Measures; Marital Status; Parent Supervision/Monitoring; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The percentage of young American adults living with their parents is said to have increased steadily over the last few decades. However, limited research has examined the role of parent-adolescent interaction in the first family formation of young adults. This study examines the association between adolescents' family process and their first union formation (marriage and cohabitation) from the ages of 16 to 35. This study also tests whether the influence of the family process varies significantly by age. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, an event history analysis was conducted to address how the mechanisms of social learning by family affect the timing and types of first union formation. The results indicate that individuals with a positive family process have a lower risk of cohabitating during adolescence and a higher chance of transitioning to marriage than cohabitation in their first union formation. The findings also show that a positive family process is associated with higher chances of marriage in the mid-twenties and later. The study further shows that fathers may have a substantial role to play in affecting the timing and types of first union formation of their children compared to mothers. The findings of this study suggest that family processes are important in determining the timing and type of first union formation among young people in the United States. |

Remaining Childless: Examining the Different Patterns of Expectations that Lead to a Childless Life for Men SN Social Sciences (10 March 2023): DOI: 10.1007/s43545-023-00642-6. Also: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s43545-023-00642-6 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Expectations/Intentions; Fertility; Labor Force Participation; Marital Status Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Early life fertility expectations fail to explain why a substantial proportion of men remain childless. To understand which roads lead to childlessness, it is important to investigate the patterning of fertility expectations across men's life courses. Therefore, the current study focuses on pathways into childlessness for men, by differentiating groups based on whether, and if so when, changes in fertility expectations occurred. In addition, we examine how these patterns of fertility expectations were linked to men's labour force participation (LFP) and marital relationships. We use data from the American National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and applied sequence, clustering, and multinomial logistic regression methods to analyze stability and change in childless men's life course between the ages of 22 and 47 (N = 679). Based on their patterns of fertility expectations, we identified four groups of childless men. (1) Early switchers (29%), (2) mid-thirty switchers (29%), (3) late or never switchers (25%), and men with unstable expectations (18%). Early switchers often got married early, while late or never switchers were more likely those who got married at a later age. In contrast, interrupted LFP was only weakly related to patterns of fertility expectations. Our longitudinal focus revealed, firstly, that different roads of fertility expectations lead to childlessness for men. Second, changes in men's partnership status often precede changes in their fertility expectations. This study is the first to use a prospective design to investigate childless men's complete reproductive history, revealing that different trajectories of fertility expectations lead to childlessness. |
