1.	Adolescent Intergenerational Cohesiveness and Young Adult Proximity to Mothers Journal of Family Issues 38,6 (April 2017): 798-819. Also: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0192513X15598548 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Modeling, Probit; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We consider how mother–child cohesion in adolescence relates to geographic proximity in young adulthood. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (N = 3,985), ordered probit models the association between adolescents' emotional closeness to mother and subsequent residential distance, controlling for key factors. Young people "at risk" of living at a distance (i.e., who have left the parental home) may be characterized by poorer relationships with parents. To take account of potential selection bias, two-stage Heckit models address spatial proximity as it relates to the choice to live with parents. The results suggest that emotional closeness to mother is robustly associated with later spatial proximity. The finding holds controlling for family structure, which is often taken as proxy for relationship quality. Although emotional closeness figures in the decision to leave home and move away, we do not find that selection out of coresidence biases the results for geographic proximity.

2.	Adolescent Intergenerational Cohesiveness and Young Adult Proximity to Parents Presented: San Francisco CA, American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, August 2014 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Residence; Transition, Adulthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper considers how parent-child cohesion in adolescence relates to young adults’ geographic proximity to parents. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (N = 2,736), ordered probit models the association between adolescents’ emotional closeness to parents and subsequent residential distance, controlling for key factors. Young people “at risk” of living at a distance (i.e., who have moved out of the parental home) may be characterized by poorer relationships with parents. To take account of potential selection bias, two-stage Heckit models address spatial proximity as it relates to the choice to live with parents. At least for mothers, emotional closeness is robustly associated with later spatial proximity. The finding holds controlling for family structure, which is often taken as proxy for relationship quality. Although emotional closeness figures in the decision to leave home, we do not find that selection out of coresidence biases the results for geographic proximity.

Differential Achievement: Race, Sex, and Jobs Sociology and Social Research 62,3 (April 1978): 387-400 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Journal has ceased publication, check OCLC - Worldcat for libraries holdings. Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Educational Attainment; Occupational Status; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study attempts to determine why both black men and black women obtain lower status jobs than their white counterparts. The data are the subsample of 274 black women and 655 nonblack women who were "native-born" and of "nonfarm origins," from the NLS Mature Women Cohort and the subsample of 373 black men and 5,646 nonblack men who were also 30-44 years of age, "native-born," and of "nonfarm origins," surveyed by the Occupational Changes in a Generation Study, "a Current Population Survey supplement" in 1962. The analysis demonstrates that lower social origins and educational attainments are sufficient explanations of blacks' occupational disadvantage. Although black women get as much schooling as white woman with similar social origins, they take humbler first jobs. This status gap narrows over the course of a career, but black women never overcome this inauspicious labor force entry. Black men experience unique barriers to schooling. Although their career beginnings may not be lower than those of white men with limited educations, black men do not enjoy the upward career trajectory that characterizes their white counterparts.

4.	Occupational Attainment Processes of Mature American Women Ph.D. Dissertation, University of California - Los Angeles, 1976 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Family Background and Culture; Occupational Status; Schooling; Socioeconomic Status (SES) This research examines the determinants of occupational achievement among American working women. Of particular interest is the question of race and sex differences in achievement processes as specified by a basic attainment model incorporating social origins, education, and career beginnings. The implications of women's unique family roles, responsibilities, and resources for job success are explored. To gauge the influence of economic context on career beginnings, the opportunity structure afforded by hometown and by historical circumstances is considered.

5.	Prestige Versus Socioeconomic Status in the Attainment Processes of American Men and Women Social Science Research 8,3 (September 1979): 201-221. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0049089X79900012 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Academic Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Duncan Index; Fathers, Influence; Inheritance; Mobility; Occupational Status; Schooling; Socioeconomic Status (SES) This paper demonstrates the consequences to the researcher of choosing to analyze social mobility data with a prestige scale rather than with a socioeconomic index. First, the low intergenerational correlations reported for the International Prestige Scale are rejected when they are shown to be compatible with inadequate models of the processes of status inheritance. Second, the Duncan socioeconomic index is shown to be the preferred measure of status transmission in that it suffers from less random error than does the International Prestige Scale, particularly among men. Third, the occupational attainment processes of American men and women are described with socioeconomic scoring, and these findings are contrasted with those which were obtained with prestige coding.

6.	The Occupational and Marital Mobility of Women American Sociological Review 39,3 (June 1974): 293-302. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2094290 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Fathers, Influence; Mobility; Occupational Status; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The NORC data on occupational mobility of women presented by DeJong, et al. (December 1971) are reanalyzed in order to compare male and female patterns of occupational mobility in the U. S. Both male and female occupational mobility patterns are then compared to patterns of marital mobility (from father's occupation to husband's) of wives not in the civilian labor force. For the comparisons, all three matrices are adjusted to identical marginal distributions to eliminate the extent to which size of occupational categories of either origin or destination differ. The occupational mobility of women is found to be less similar to mobility patterns of men than is women's marital mobility. Thus, similar patterns govern movement of both men and women from their origins to the status of male head of their families. The occupational mobility of the women themselves, however, does not follow the pattern of men so closely as DeJong, et al. concluded in their original article.
