Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher.

Data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, the November 1989 Current Population Survey, and the National Longitudinal Study of Women suggest that women with sisters have completed less schooling than women without sisters. This hypothesis follows a long tradition of theories about the effects of sibling number and configuration. There is relatively weak evidence for this hypothesis in the analysis on which the findings are based. Analyses of the effects of sibling gender composition on educational attainment among cohorts of women and men in the Occupational Changes in a Generation Survey, the Survey of Income and Program Participation, and the National Survey of Families and Households offer no support for this hypothesis or for other related hypotheses about the effects of the gender composition of sibships.

Marriage and Sex Role Attitudes of Young Women
M.S. Thesis, University of Wisconsin - Madison, 1988
Cohort(s): Young Women

Using data from NLS of Young Women, this study tests three hypotheses on the effects of marriage on sex role attitudes: (1) perceived inequality and "liberalizing" effects; (2) rationalization and "traditionalizing" effects; and (3) recovery of premarital socialization for sex roles, effects depend on "liberal" vs "traditional" socialization. Controlling for other adult socialization experiences such as education, work and parenthood, marriage had neither liberal nor traditional effects on sex role attitudes. However, marital disruptions were associated with increasingly liberal attitudes. Although young women with traditional role models were more likely to change in the traditional direction, there were no interactions with effects of marriage.
