Patterns of Childhood Residence and the Relationship to Young Adult Outcomes Journal of Marriage and Family 54,4 (November 1992): 846-880. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/353166 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Childhood Residence; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Family Structure; Parental Influences; Racial Differences This study describes the childhood residence patterns of a national cohort of youth and analyses the effects of expanded measures of family structure on a variety of young adult outcomes. Results reveal major variability in residence patterns by race and ethnicity across a wide array of living arrangements and from birth through age eighteen. Family stress and socialization perspectives are used to examine the effect of summary measures of family structure across childhood on the likelihood of high school completion, teen parenting, delinquency, drug and alcohol use and later marital disruption. Results of logistic regressions indicate that white youth benefit significantly from the presence of two parents. Controlling for a variety of social and economic background factors, duration in mother-only families shows no significant consequences for these outcomes while residence with a step-parent has negative consequences for several outcomes across subgroups. |
