Gender Ideology and Depressive Symptoms among Older Black and White Women Presented: San Francisco CA, American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, August 2014 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Depression (see also CESD); Gender Attitudes/Roles; Life Course; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using the 1967-1995 data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Mature Women, we examine the association between gender ideology and depressive symptoms among older black and white women. This study uses a theoretical framework integrating the gender relations theory, the life-course perspective, and the intersectionality approach to explore how gender beliefs become embodied as psychological distress. The findings reveal that black and white women with traditional gender ideology exhibit more depressive symptoms than their peers with egalitarian gender beliefs. Moreover, traditional gender ideology has a stronger effect on black women's than white women's depression. Consistent with the life-course perspective, results indicate that gender ideology earlier in life has enduring implications for later depression. We argue that gender ideology can be viewed as a pathway through which social and cultural dimensions of gender and race influence depressive symptoms at the individual level and generate within-gender heterogeneity in mental health. |

Do Individual Psychosocial Factors Mediate Critical Period Cohort Effects on Educational Attainment? Presented: Denver CO, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2018 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Children; Educational Attainment; I.Q.; Mortality; Pre-natal Care/Exposure Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study displays the mediation of individual psychosocial factors in early life on the in utero and neonatal environmental cohort effects on the educational attainment of women. By utilizing the National Longitudinal Survey of Young Women, part of the Original Cohorts and the CDC/NCHS National Vital Statistics System, we employ a regression-based mediation analysis to examine to what extent individual psychosocial factors (as measured by IQ) mediate the cohort effects of U.S. infant mortality rates at birth on the educational attainment of women at 25. The analysis suggests that infant mortality has a significant effect on IQ scores as well as on the educational attainment. A second analysis using the Goodman-Sobel tests of mediation indicates that the indirect cohort carries into IQ. Thus, IQ mediates critical period effects on educational attainment. These findings suggest that additional attention should be given to those in settings compromised by infection or environmental hazards. |
