Active-Duty Military Service, Cohabiting Unions, and the Transition to Marriage

A small but growing body of research has begun to identify the consequences of military service during the all-voluntary era. Previous literature has emphasized the role played by the economic prospects of men in stimulating marriage, among both singles and cohabiters. Military service and marriage are related through pay rates, stability of employment and additional benefits awarded to married couples. In this article, we examine the relationship between military service and the likelihood that cohabiting unions will be converted into marriages. Our paper extends previous research by making a distinction between the effects of active-duty verses reserve-duty service on the transition to marriage using data from the 1979-2004 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Our findings indicate that there is a positive relationship between active-duty service and cohabitors transitioning to marriage.

The Educational Attainment Among Combat Veterans and Non-Combat Veterans In The Most Recent All-Volunteer Force Era
Presented: Portland OR, Pacific Sociological Association Annual Meeting, March 2014
Cohort(s): NLSY97

The aim of my research is to investigate whether there is a difference in the educational attainment of veterans and non-veterans, with and without combat experience. Non-veterans include individuals that were currently listed at the time of the NLSY 97 survey. Using fixed-effects regression models I analyze the difference in total number of years of education attained for each of these groups. The results indicate that individuals that have experienced combat have fewer years of education. This finding changes, however, if the individual is also a veteran, as veterans that have experienced combat received more education than veterans that have not experienced combat.

Effects of Socioeconomic Factors on the Migration of Mexicans and Other Hispanics within the United States: A Comparison across Primary and Repeat Migration Types
Presented: Seattle WA, Pacific Sociological Association Annual Meeting, March 2011

This study uses multinomial logistic regression to compare the primary and repeat migration of Mexicans with Hispanics of other national origins. Repeat migration is broken into three categories for the multinomial analysis. In our basic model Mexicans are much more likely to make return migrations than are other Hispanics but these differences are reduced to non-significance when socioeconomic factors and duration of residence are included in Model 4. Mexicans and other Hispanics who have never migrated are equally likely to make a primary migration.

Using a fixed effects model, we will analyze self-reported depression indicators, such as happiness, sadness, friends/family connections, and military enlistment of respondents from waves 1 through 14 of National Longitudinal Survey 1997 (NLSY97) from 1997 to 2010 for any association between the variables. The nature of this dataset will provide insight into the long- term mental health histories of respondents who were 12 to 16 years old when the survey began in 1997. Following these adolescents from such a young age until their time of enlistment (age 17 at the youngest) will allow us to track their self-reported levels of depression, identifying patterns correlated with their time of enlistment. The results will be discussed in relation to life course theory in how the outcomes of events that effect life happiness throughout one’s adolescence may lead them to decide to enlist in the military, as well as the process of “knifing off” that acts as a turning point in the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

A large body of research has established that military service can have a negative effect on soldiers, especially when they have been exposed to combat, resulting in PTSD and a wide range of other mental health problems. However, very little research examines what positive effect non-combat military service can have on mental health, and more specifically depression. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) we show that men who serve on active duty, and do not see combat, are less likely to experience depression than their civilian and reserve duty counterparts. We suggest that it is the high level of social support available to men serving on active duty that buffers the stresses they experience and therefore reduces the likelihood of an individual developing depression. In addition, veterans enjoy more advantages family life course histories.
