Living Together No Longer 'Playing House' USA Today, July 28, 2008: Health and Behavior. Also: http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2008-07-28-cohabitation-research_n.htm?loc=interstitialskip Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: USA Today Keyword(s): Cohabitation; Divorce; Marital Stability; Marital Status Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Most people today reject the notion that couples who live together before marriage are more likely to get divorced, finds a weekend USA TODAY/Gallup Poll of 1,007 adults. Almost half (49%) said living together makes divorce less likely; 13% said it makes no difference. Just 31% said living together first makes divorce more likely; 7% had no opinion. "If you're living with someone, you actually get to know somebody more than you would not living with them," says Christopher Sekulich, 37, of Melvindale, Mich. Similarly, most respondents don't worry about the effect on children of living in a cohabiting household: 47% said it makes no difference, and 12% said it would have a positive effect. Respondents also appeared open-minded on whether unmarried couples can have a committed relationship. Half the sample was asked if an unmarried couple who have lived together for five years is as committed as a couple married five years; 57% said yes, they are. |

Merely Having an Older Sibling Can Be Bad Influence USA Today, April 24, 2006 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: USA Today Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Birth Order; Cigarette Use (see Smoking); National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (AddHealth); Risk-Taking; Sexual Activity Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Don't be so quick to pass along that sage advice to your children about "setting a good example" for a younger brother or sister. New research on birth order suggests that just having an older sibling can be a negative influence on younger children in the family. The new research by economics professors seeks to understand how teens get involved in risky behaviors that can have long-term economic consequences. It finds that the very existence of an older sibling increases the chances a younger sibling will drink, smoke, use marijuana or have sex. The published study [ed. note: See, Argys, Laura M.: "Birth Order and Risky Adolescent Behavior", in this bibliography] analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth from 1997 to 1999. It included 7,000 to 8,000 children ages 12 to 16. A second study reviewed data from 1994 to 1996 from the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health, which includes about 20,000 young people in grades seven to 12. Averett says the second study confirmed the results of the first. |
