1.	Neighborhood Impacts on Child Anxiety and Depression: The Mediating Influences of Maternal Well-Being and Parent-Child Relationships Presented: Seattle WA, American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, August 2016 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Anxiety; Child Health; Depression (see also CESD); Modeling, Structural Equation; Mothers, Health; Neighborhood Effects; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Parenting Skills/Styles Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Disordered neighborhoods have been consistently linked with worse well-being for resident children. Though this finding is robust across studies, less is known about how neighborhood characteristics translate into poor psychosocial function in children and how these effects endure throughout childhood. In this paper, I examine one possible process linking disordered neighborhoods to child anxiety and depression through neighborhood effects on maternal well-being and parent-child relationships. Using four waves of nationally representative parent and child data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth - 1979 and Child samples, I estimate structural equation models that suggest disordered neighborhoods increase child anxiety and depression in several ways. First, disordered neighborhoods are associated with increased maternal depressive symptoms which in turn are associated with increased parent-child arguments which are then associated with higher levels of child anxiety and depression. I also find that parents in disordered neighborhoods punish their children more frequently which in turn has negative effects on child well-being. Despite these mediating pathways, strong direct influences of neighborhoods on child well-being remain. These findings demonstrate how structural inequalities at the neighborhood-level and the negative consequences they have for interpersonal relationships can create deleterious effects throughout childhood.

Neighborhood Perceptions and Well-being across the Early Life Course Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Sociology, Vanderbilt University, 2016 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Vanderbilt University Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Cohabitation; Depression (see also CESD); Discipline; Neighborhood Effects; Parent-Child Interaction; Pearlin Mastery Scale; Punishment, Corporal; Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) (see Self-Esteem) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Disordered neighborhoods have been consistently linked with worse well-being for resident children compared to those who live in more advantaged neighborhoods. Though this finding is robust across studies, less is known about how neighborhood characteristics translate into poor psychosocial function in children and how these effects endure throughout childhood. In this paper, I examine one possible process linking disordered neighborhoods to child distress through neighborhood effects on maternal well-being and parent-child relationships. Using four waves of nationally representative parent and child data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth – 1979 and Child samples, I estimate structural equation models that suggest disordered neighborhoods increase child distress in several ways. First, disordered neighborhoods are associated with increased maternal distress which in turn is associated with increased mother child arguments. I also find that mothers in disordered neighborhoods punish their children more frequently. Increased mother-child arguments and punishments are both associated with higher levels of child distress across multiple waves of data. These findings demonstrate how structural inequalities at the neighborhood-level and the negative consequences they have for interpersonal relationships can create deleterious effects throughout childhood

Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/soin.12099/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Cohabitation; Employment; Home Ownership; Marriage; Parenthood; Pearlin Mastery Scale; Transition, Adulthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We investigate the relationship between homeownership and personal sense of mastery in the transition to adulthood and examine whether three important adult transitions (employment, marriage/cohabitation, and parenthood) moderate the impact of homeownership on mastery. Utilizing the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth--Young Adult Sample (N = 1,609), we estimate change models to assess the direct effects of homeownership on mastery as well as whether this impact is modified by the transition to adult roles. Homeownership increases the sense of mastery among young adults. Homeowners who are unemployed paradoxically receive a boost to mastery not experienced by those who are employed, and homeowners who are parents experience increased mastery, compared to those who do not have children. Owning a home has a positive influence on young adults' sense of mastery during a period when their mastery is in flux and they are accumulating new roles.
