1.	Parental Divorce, Educational Expectations, and Educational Attainment among Young Adults Presented: San Diego CA, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April-May 2015 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): College Enrollment; Divorce; Educational Attainment; Parental Influences; Parental Marital Status Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Most research on parental divorce and academic achievement has focused on children and adolescents. There are few studies of young adults, and most focus on undergraduate education. Yet, education beyond a bachelor's degree has become increasingly important in ensuring one's future economic success. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, this study investigated whether and how parental divorce affects young adults' educational attainment, measured by attainment of a bachelor's degree, a graduate or professional degree, or enrollment in a graduate/professional program. A secondary goal was to assess the role of parental educational expectations. Results indicate that parental divorce and lower educational expectations among parents were associated with lower educational attainment among young adults. Lower parental educational expectations did not explain lower educational attainment for young adults with divorced parents. Future research should explore factors that explain lower rates of educational attainment among young adults with divorced parents.

2.	Parental Divorce, Social Capital, and Postbaccalaureate Educational Attainment Among Young Adults Journal of Family Issues 39,10 (July 2018): 2806-2835. Also: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0192513X18760349 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Divorce; Educational Aspirations/Expectations; Educational Attainment; Parental Influences; Parental Marital Status Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Educational attainment is lower among children with divorced parents than those with continuously married parents. Most research has focused on the educational outcomes of children and little research has examined the effect of parental divorce on educational attainment beyond a bachelor's degree. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, we investigated how parental divorce affects young adult postbaccalaureate educational attainment, measured by graduate/professional school enrollment and attainment of a graduate/professional degree. We also examined the role of social capital, measured by parental educational expectations. Parental divorce was negatively associated with enrolling in a graduate/professional program and obtaining a degree. Parental educational expectations were positively related to children's postbaccalaureate educational attainment, but the expectations of divorced and continuously married parents were similar and did not explain the negative effect of parental divorce. More work is needed to investigate explanations for lower postbaccalaureate educational attainment among children of divorce.

3.	Race Differences in Nonresident Father Involvement: New Findings from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Presented: Atlanta, GA, Population Association of America Meetings, May 2002 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Fathers, Absence; Fathers, Involvement; Male Sample; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Although the vast majority of African American children will live apart from their biological father, we currently have very limited information on nonresident father involvement among African Americans. This study investigates race differences in patterns of paternal involvement, focusing specifically on African American nonresident fathers. The analysis is based on nonresident fathers from the 1998 and 2000 rounds of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79). These data provide important new information on African American and White nonresident fathers' perceptions of the father role as well as the quantity and quality of contact with absent children. Additionally, we exploit the longitudinal nature of this data set and examine race differences in paternal involvement over time. Continued lack of attention to African American nonresident fathers is problematic given that nonresident fatherhood is such a prominent feature of African American family life.

Sociology of African American Nonresident Fatherhood Presented: Boston, MA, Population Association of America Meetings, April 2004 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Fathers and Children; Fathers, Absence; Fathers, Involvement; Male Sample; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Researchers commonly compare the parental involvement of black and white nonresident fathers without considering the unique life circumstances of African American men. Using a sample of men drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79), this study examines the characteristics of African American and white nonresident fathers. Unlike previous research, nonresident fathers are separated into men who were married, cohabiting, and not in a union at the time of their child's birth. Given dramatic race differences in family formation patterns, this may be a potentially important distinction. Moreover, this study examines a wider array of men's characteristics than have prior studies, such as the planning status of the child, time spent working nonstandard hours, church attendance, and support from extended family members. The results of this study will provide insight into African American nonresident fathers' lives and will have important implications for social policy aimed at increasing African American men's involvement with their children.
