Impact of Family Structure and Family Transition on Children's Behavioral Outcomes Presented: New York, NY, American Sociological Association Annual Meetings, August 2007 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Alcohol Use; Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Delinquency/Gang Activity; Drug Use; Marital Status; Smoking (see Cigarette Use); Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. More and more children live in different family structures and experience family transition(s). To examine the effects of family structure and family transitions on children's behavioral outcomes, we use data from the 1979 cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Work Experience of Youth (NLSY79). The variables we focus our analyses are the marital status and behavioral outcome variables. The models we use are estimated separately for boys and girls and do shed light on previous literature and findings as same children in a given family are followed over a period of time. Preliminary results of different (cross sectional and fixed effect) models are presented to show the differences in outcome variables. |
