Bullying: The Consequences of Interparental Discord and Child's Self-Concept Family Process 42,2 (Summer 2003): 237-251. Also: http://search.epnet.com/direct.asp?an=10185912&db=aph Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Family Process Inc. Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Behavior, Violent; Bullying/Victimization; Child Development; Children, School-Age; Family Studies; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Parents, Behavior; Self-Perception; Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The objective of this research is to explore how the relationship between interparental discord and child's self-concept shapes participation in bullying behavior by elementary and middle-school children. The main finding is that child's self-concept mediates the effects of interparental discord on bullying behavior. Further, the results of the study support a symbolic interactionist view of child self-development, in which children internalize the environment provided by parents. This internalization gives way to self-concept, which guides behavior. This study adds to the growing body of literature that seeks to understand whether and how characteristics of children mediate the effects of parental attributes on behavioral outcomes. The proposed implications for the prevention of bullying include building children's self-concept, intervening in parental conflict, and involving the entire family system in the intervention process.

Immediate and Long-Term Effects of Family Income on Child and Adolescent Bullying Sociological Focus 37,1 (February 2004): 25-41 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: North Central Sociological Association ==> Routledge (new in 2012) Keyword(s): Behavior, Antisocial; Behavioral Problems; Bullying/Victimization; Income Level; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Utilizing data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Mother and Child Samples, I investigate the relationship between bullying behavior & family income. I test the hypothesis that the relationship between bullying & socioeconomic status is curvilinear, with children from low & high-income families engaging in higher levels of bullying than those from middle-income families. Further, within the proposed U-shaped relationship between bullying & family income, I examine whether children from low-income families bully more than those from high-income families. As expected, there is a curvilinear relationship between bullying & income. While low-income youth are at greatest risk for engaging in bullying, those youth at the upper end of the income gradient also have a higher propensity for participating in bullying behavior, compared to their more moderate-income counterparts. Although levels of bullying behavior decrease over time at both the lower & upper ends of the income gradient, strong curvilinear associations between bullying & family income exist both in cross-sectional & longitudinal analyses. Further, child's age, school standing, & the amount of emotional support offered to the child are important factors in the initiation of bullying & in whether the behavior persists over time. |

Neighborhood Disadvantage and Poor Health: The Consequences of Race, Gender, and Age among Young Adults International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 19,13 (1 July 2022): 8107. Also: https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph19138107 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute) Keyword(s): Gender Differences; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Neighborhood Effects; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between neighborhood disadvantage and poor self-rated health for a nationally representative sample of Blacks and Whites in young adulthood, 18 to 30 years old. Data were from 16 waves (1997-2013) of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 cohort (N = 6820 individuals; observations = 58,901). Utilizing the stress process model and generalized estimating equations to account for the correlated nature of multiple responses over time, results show that neighborhood disadvantage increases the odds of poor health for all groups. This positive association is strongest in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods and is heightened as young adults age. There are also notable race and gender differences. For example, Blacks, who live in the most highly disadvantaged neighborhoods, seem to be somewhat shielded from the most deleterious effects of poor neighborhood conditions compared to their White counterparts. Despite greater proportions of Blacks residing in harsh neighborhood environments, Black men experience better health than all other groups, and the health of Black women is no worse compared to White men or women. Limitations and directions for future research are discussed. |

Racial Variation in the Effects of Sons versus Daughters on the Disruption of the First Marriage Journal of Divorce and Remarriage 38,3-4 (2003): 41-60. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J087v38n03_03 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Haworth Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Divorce; Gender Differences; Marital Disruption; Marriage; Preschool Children; Racial Differences; Siblings; Socioeconomic Status (SES) This research investigates whether there is racial variation in how the gender composition of the sibling group impacts the probability of divorce among couples in their first marriage. For African American families, the effect of children's sex is mediated by socioeconomic status. However, with regard to Whites, the number of sons heightens the probability of divorce, while daughters have no effect on the marital union. Other sibling group characteristics are pivotal to predicting the likelihood of divorce regardless of race. The presence of preschool children in the home is negatively related to divorce, and the age range of the sibling group is inversely associated with marital disruption.

The Effects of Traditional Family and Gender Ideology on Earnings: Race and Gender Differences Journal of Family and Economic Issues 27,1 (April 2006): 48-71. Also: http://www.springerlink.com/content/n0154055336j20x8/ Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Kluwer Academic Publishers Keyword(s): Childbearing; Earnings; Economics of Gender; Economics of Minorities; Family Studies; Gender Differences; Labor Market Demographics; Racial Differences; Wages, Women Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Despite increasing gains in labor market opportunities, women and racial minorities earn less than their white male counterparts. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this study explores racial and gender variation in how family and gender ideology shape this wage gap. The findings reveal that traditional role attitudes reduce earnings for African American men, African American women, and white women. However, white women experience the largest threat to wages as a result of conventional gender ideology. Further, the number of children and the timing of childbearing are detrimental to black and white women's earnings, while neither of these factors hampers men's earnings. |

Mothers And Mastery: The Consequences Of Perceived Neighborhood Disorder Social Psychology Quarterly 70,4 (December 2007): 340-365. Also: http://spq.sagepub.com/content/70/4/340.abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Geocoded Data; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Mothers; Neighborhood Effects; Pearlin Mastery Scale; Racial Differences; Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using longitudinal data from a nationally representative sample of mothers, we specify the conditions under which the neighborhood context shapes the experience of mastery. In so doing, we extend the work of others who have shown that neighborhood perceptions influence one's sense of personal control over and above the effects of sociodemographic and objective neighborhood characteristics. Specifically, we demonstrate that the benefits to mastery generally afforded to mothers through marital status, household income, physical health, and living in a higher-income neighborhood are diluted by perceptions of neighborhood disorder. These findings suggest the importance of including measures of proximal experiences when attempting to link objective components of social structure with individual and family-level outcomes. Providing further support for the emphasis placed on these proximate mechanisms by the social structure and personality framework, our analyses indicate that failing to consider negative community perceptions suppresses the significant impact that central city residence and race have on mothers' sense of personal control. |

Romantic Relationships, Parenthood, and the Personal Sense of Mastery: The Consequences of Gender among Young Adults Sociological Focus 56,2 (February 2023): 172-191. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00380237.2023.2178045 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Cohabitation; Dating; Gender; Marital Status; Marriage; Parenthood; Pearlin Mastery Scale Solidifying a strong personal sense of mastery or control over life is a key developmental task in young adulthood. We investigate the extent to which intimate relationship status (i.e., marriage, cohabitation, monogamous dating, and singlehood) and parenthood simultaneously shape mastery for a longitudinal sample of 18- to 34-year-olds. We further investigate whether age qualifies the effects of relationship-parenthood status on the sense of mastery similarly for men and women. Regardless of parenthood and gender, marriage and cohabitation are related to higher mastery than monogamous dating and singlehood. On average, single fathers and mothers have the lowest mastery. As individuals age from their late twenties into their early thirties, married and monogamously dating men without children have the highest levels of mastery, while cohabiting men without children and monogamously dating mothers have the lowest levels of mastery. |

Gender Ideology and Motherhood: The Consequences of Race on Earnings Sex Roles 57 (2007): 689-702. Also: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11199-007-9292-3 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Age at First Birth; Earnings; Gender Attitudes/Roles; Mothers; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using a nationally representative US sample, this study explores the relationship between gender ideology and the earnings of African American and white mothers over a 10-year period (1988-1998). We further investigate how factors related to fertility (i.e., age at first birth and the number of children) impact earnings for these mothers. Findings show, that regardless of race, a conservative gender ideology reduces women's earnings but less so for African Americans compared to whites. With regard to fertility, the number of children is detrimental to the earnings of white mothers, but has no effect on the African American mothers in our sample. However, early childbearing does depress the earnings of African American women more so than for their white counterparts. |

Bullying Behavior, Parents’ Work Hours and Early Adolescents’ Perceptions of Time Spent With Parents Youth and Society 43,4 (December 2011): 1570-1595. Also: http://yas.sagepub.com/content/43/4/1570.abstract Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Behavioral Problems; Bullying/Victimization; Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Maternal Employment; Parent-Child Interaction; Social Capital Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This research investigates the relationships among bullying behavior, mother’s and father’s work hours, and early adolescents’ perceptions of whether they spend sufficient time with their parents. In cross-sectional models, we find maternal work hours are modestly associated with increases in bullying behavior. However, in more rigorous change models, our findings indicate that over time maternal work hours bear no direct relationship to bullying behavior. Moreover, in our final models, an interaction between father’s work hours and perceptions of time spent with him has one of the most robust associations with bullying for adolescents. When paternal employment is full- or overtime and youth perceive they do not spend enough with their fathers, bullying behavior increases. Other important factors that shape bullying behavior are the quality of the home environment and the adolescent’s school performance. |

Multiple Roles and Alcohol Consumption in the Transition to Adulthood Presented: New York NY, American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, August 2013 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Attitudes; Employment; Family Influences; Gender Attitudes/Roles; Gender Differences; Marriage; Parenthood; Social Roles; Transition, Adulthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Utilizing data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth - Young Adult sample (N=1,494), we investigated whether gender role orientation and the initiation of three adult roles (i.e., employment, marriage and parenthood) explain the higher levels of alcohol consumed by men. Gender differences in the amount of alcohol consumption during the transition to adulthood is explained by the number of roles occupied by the individual, but not necessarily by any single role or role combination. Role accumulation protects women from drinking, but does not have an impact on male drinking behavior. Our findings also indicated that, as youth mature, traditional gender role orientation is related to lower levels of drinking for both men and women, but is mediated by marriage. Finally, parenthood was the one adulthood transition that significantly decreased drinking for both men and women. |

The Gender Gap in Alcohol Consumption during Late Adolescence and Young Adulthood: Gendered Attitudes and Adult Roles Journal of Health and Social Behavior 50,4 (December 2009): 410-426. Also: http://hsb.sagepub.com/content/50/4/410.abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Employment; Family Influences; Gender Attitudes/Roles; Gender Differences; Genetics; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Marriage; Parenthood; Transition, Adulthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We utilize data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth young adult sample (N = 1,488) to investigate whether gender role attitudes and the occupation of and transition to three adult roles (i.e., employment, marriage, and parenthood) contribute to the maintenance of the gender gap in the frequency and quantity of alcohol use. Our results indicate that traditional gender role attitudes are related to less frequent drinking for both men and women, but role attitudes are not associated with the number of drinks consumed. We also find that employment and transitions to employment increase the frequency and quantity of drinking, but less so for women compared to men. Furthermore, marriage, parenthood, and transitions to parenthood are related to less frequent drinking for women only. In terms of the number of drinks consumed, only employment and transitions to employment distinguish men and women. Employment is related to increased quantity of drinking for men, but decreased drinking for women, while transitions to employment have no effect on men, but do decrease the amount of drinking for women. Marriage decreases the number of drinks consumed equally for both men and women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

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.

Keyword(s): CESD (Depression Scale); Depression (see also CESD); Educational Attainment; Ethnic Differences; Family Structure; Household Income; Marital Status; Maternal Employment; Neighborhood Effects; Racial Differences; Rural/Urban Differences Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth at two points in time, we examine the relationship between maternal psychological distress and perceived neighborhood disorder for three groups: African Americans, Mexican Americans and whites. Findings show that across all racial groups neighborhood perceptions are more salient in shaping levels of distress than is objective neighborhood location. However, objective location (e.g., central city residence) does considerably influence how mothers perceive their neighborhoods in the first place. These results suggest that future research on the independent consequences of the neighborhood context should incorporate both subjective assessments and objective indicators of living arrangements. We also observe that perceived neighborhood disorder and psychological distress are affected by marital status, educational attainment, household income, and employment. Moreover, compared to their Mexican American and white counterparts, family structure (e.g., number of children) appears to be more detrimental in shaping outcomes for African American mothers.

Race-Gender Variation in the Relationship between Arrest History and Poor Health from Adolescence to Adulthood Journal of the National Medical Association (23 March 2022): DOI: 10.1016/j.jnma.2022.02.013. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0027968422000487 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Arrests; Criminal Justice System; Gender Differences; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Racial Differences Objective: The objective of this study is to examine how criminal justice involvement, specifically arrests, shapes health by race-gender status and age for Black, Latinx, and White men and women from adolescence to adulthood. Method: Data were from sixteen waves (1997-2013) of data of National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 cohort (N = 7,674). Respondents were 12-16 years during the first wave of the survey. Multivariate logistic regression with interactions were used to determine how age and race-gender status shape the association between poor health and arrests over time. Results: With the exception of Black men, arrest history is positively associated with the probability of poor health and this relationship strengthens with age. Arrests have the least detrimental impact on the health of Black men. For those without an arrest history, the probability of poor health also increases with age, but with a less steep incline over time than those who have been arrested. Overall, women who have been arrested, regardless of race, have the worst health prospects. |

Gender Variation in Depressive Symptoms and Multiple Roles during the First Decade of Midlife Presented: New York NY, American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, August 2019 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Depression (see also CESD); Gender Differences; Social Roles Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Objective: This study investigated the relationship between social roles (marriage, employment, parenthood) and depressive symptoms and whether role accumulation (number of roles) versus specific role configurations (e.g., married parent) matter more for mental health by gender. Method: Utilizing data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (N=7,614), we estimated depressive symptoms with regression models during the first decade of midlife -- from 40 to 50 years old. Results: The relationship between role accumulation and depressive symptoms is curvilinear, with the decrease in depressive symptoms flattening at higher numbers of roles. Role configurations that include employment (e.g., married and employed) produced the lowest levels of depressive symptoms for both women and men. Discussion: Social roles were generally good for mental health at midlife, but role gains and losses were more detrimental for women. Role configurations that did not include employment (e.g., parent only) increase depressive symptoms more for men than women. |

Beliefs, Fertility, and Earnings of African American, Hispanic, and Non-Hispanic White Mothers. Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences 30,3 (1 August 2008): 299-323.

This study explores gender ideology, fertility factors (e.g., age at first birth, number of children), and their effects on earnings of African American (n = 413), Hispanic American (n = 271), and White (n = 817) mothers. An analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth over a 10-year period (1988 to 1998) shows that, on average, Hispanic American and White mothers have a significantly more conservative gender ideology than African American mothers. Nevertheless, a conservative gender ideology significantly reduces African American, Hispanic American, and White mothers' earnings when controlling for a variety of important labor force factors. Regarding fertility, the number of children is detrimental to the earnings of White mothers but has no effect on African American or Hispanic mothers in the sample. Although early childbearing significantly depresses the earnings of African American and Hispanic mothers, it does not do so for their White counterparts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Using data from the 1994-1998 waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth merged Mother and Young Adult file, this article examines the relationship between depressive symptoms and body mass index (BMI) in adolescence. The authors also examine whether this relationship varies by race and gender. Their findings indicate that over a 4-year period symptoms of depression are only related to increases in BMI for African American females. Stepfamily arrangements and poor neighborhood quality were more related to higher body mass index among White females. With the exception of household income predicting higher weight for African American males, their models were not very predictive for either African American or White males. They interpret their results within a family stress framework.

Depression and Adolescent Overweight: Exploring Race Differences Presented: Montreal, Quebec, American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, August 2006 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Body Mass Index (BMI); CESD (Depression Scale); Depression (see also CESD); Family Structure; Gender Differences; Neighborhood Effects; Obesity; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using data from the 1994-1998 waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth merged Mother and Young Adult file, this paper examines the relationship between depression and overweight in adolescence. We also examine whether this relationship varies by race and gender. Our findings indicate that over a four year period that depression is only related to increases in weight for African American females. Step-family arrangements and poor neighborhood quality were more related to weight gain among white females. With the exception of household income predicting higher weight for African American males, our models were not very predictive for either African American or white males. |

Mastery, Homeownership, and Adult Roles During the Transition to Adulthood Sociological Inquiry 86,1 (February 2016): 5-28. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/soin.12099/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Cohabitation; Employment; Home Ownership; Marriage; Parenthood; Pearlin Mastery Scale; Transition, Adulthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We investigate the relationship between homeownership and personal sense of mastery in the transition to adulthood and examine whether three important adult transitions (employment, marriage/cohabitation, and parenthood) moderate the impact of homeownership on mastery. Utilizing the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth--Young Adult Sample (N = 1,609), we estimate change models to assess the direct effects of homeownership on mastery as well as whether this impact is modified by the transition to adult roles. Homeownership increases the sense of mastery among young adults. Homeowners who are unemployed paradoxically receive a boost to mastery not experienced by those who are employed, and homeowners who are parents experience increased mastery, compared to those who do not have children. Owning a home has a positive influence on young adults' sense of mastery during a period when their mastery is in flux and they are accumulating new roles. |
