Objectives: The current research aimed to provide probable ranges of estimates of the degree to which genetic and nonshared environmental covariation could explain the reported phenotypic effects in the Gershoff and Grogan-Kaylor (Gershoff and Grogan-Kaylor, Family Relations 65:490-501, 2016a, Gershoff and Grogan-Kaylor, Journal of Family Psychology 30:453, 2016b) meta-analysis of spanking.

Participants and setting: The analytic sample for Study 1 was secured from the Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (CNLSY) and consisted of 2868 respondents (siblings and half-siblings). The data for Study 2 were secured from the published literature.

Methods: Study 1 analyzed the data from the CNLSY using univariate ACE models and bivariate Cholesky decomposition models. Study 2 used simulation modeling to provide a summative evaluation of the psychosocial effects of spanking with regard to genetic and nonshared environmental covariation.

Results: Study 1 replicated previous work showing that associations between spanking and outcomes of delinquency, depression, and alcohol use were explained by moderate-to-large degrees of genetic covariation and small-to-moderate degrees of nonshared environmental covariation. Simulation estimates from Study 2 suggest that genetic covariation accounts for a substantial amount of the phenotypic effect between spanking and psychosocial outcomes (≈60–80%), with the remainder attributable to nonshared environmental covariation (≈0–40%).

Chapter 7 … provides a micro data analysis of the role of personality in the intergenerational transmission of earnings. The author uses data on matched father-son pairs from the mature and young male cohorts of the National Longitudinal Surveys. The statistical models link son's and father's permanent income, while also controlling for human capital variables, IQ, and the Rotter score, a commonly used indicator of personality. The results show that a substantial share of the intergenerational transmission of earnings is attributable to the transmission of personality traits: 11 percent of the father-son correlation in earnings is explained by the transmission of personality.

This chapter describes and compares two approaches to modeling longitudinal data: the random effects growth curve model and the latent trajectory model. Our primary purpose is didactic, as we show how to construct these models through a detailed example with NLSY data. and include computer program syntax in the Appendix. We also show that while these two approaches begin from very different assumptions, in the case of continuous longitudinal data they provide identical parameter estimates and very similar standard errors. Employing an example with NLSY data, we show how these two approaches can model the within-case error structure in various fashions. We also illustrate how each of these approaches can handle predictors that are either time-invariant, or predictors that change over time, and that handling missing data on the dependent variable is straightforward. The similar results from each approach suggest that the researcher can obtain reliable parameter estimates from the method which he or she is most familiar with. However, we conclude by pointing out that the latent trajectory model has an additional advantage of allowing the researcher to assess the overall fit of the model, something that isn't currently feasible using a random effects growth curve strategy.

Theories in sociology and other social sciences often postulate causal relationships. Yamaguchi advanced a model for the interdependence of two discrete-time, discrete-state endogenous processes. The Yamaguchi model is introduced with a discussion of its advantages over conventional methods and a comparison with recently developed relevant models. To overcome the obstacle that existing statisitcal software cannot directly estimate the Yamaguchi model, the author has developed a method that converts estimated parameters from standard multinomial logit estimation into parameters of the Yamaguchi model using standard statistical software and a simple programming of linear transformation. The method is simple and straightforward and thus merits application to an analysis of interdependence with panel data. This article also provides a detailed empirical example to illustrate an application of the method.

Although evidence exists that bully victimizations are related to a range of negative outcomes later in the life course, existing research has largely ignored the timing of the victimization experience. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, the present study uses propensity score matching to investigate the adult consequences of victims experiencing repeated bullying in childhood, adolescence, or both developmental periods. Individuals victimized as children reported higher instances of arrests, convictions, violence, and substance use than child nonvictims. The results point to the importance of implementing effective prevention programs early in the life course.

After Marriage Ends: Economic Consequences for Midlife Women

Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher.

This book examines the economic transitions of mid-life women as they experience the end of marriage from separation, divorce, or widowhood. Research has typically focused on either younger women as they experienced separation/divorce or older women as they were widowed, leaving aside the issue of whether there are similarities in these outcomes. Using data drawn from the NLS of Mature Women, this study follows hundreds of women through marital transitions and examines the loss of income, changes in employment patterns, and subsequent remarriage following widowhood, separation, or divorce. There are two unique contributions of the analysis: 1) it permits direct comparison of the different marital status groups, without the difficulties imposed by serious age differences or different study designs, samples or questions; and 2) the length of time that is studied. Much of the prior research has looked only at one time period following the ending of marriage. This analysis uses repeated measurements after marriages end compared with baseline years during the marriage to establish true changes in the circumstances of mid-life women and their families. Results suggest that there are indeed parallels in the experiences of widowed and divorced women in terms of the outcomes they face after their marriages end. Incomes and their adequacy to needs both decrease substantially, with corresponding rises in poverty. Return to work and remarriage are also discussed in terms of these events. Policy issues and underlying causes in the gender/family role system point to possible avenues for preventing economic distress after marriage ends.

The presentation is divided into five sections. The first contains a brief description of the origins of the National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS). The second describes the study as it has evolved over the years since 1965, including a discussion of the design of the four original samples, the nature and timing of the periodic interviews, and the types of data that have been collected. The third section relates to the administration of the study, with particular reference to the allocation of responsibility for its design and execution. In the fourth, the actual and potential "products" of the project are described in terms of (1) the variety of studies, completed or in progress, that are based upon the NLS data, (2) illustrative research findings, and (3) suggestions for additional types of research for which the data are appropriate. The fifth section draws some lessons from the experience gained in administering this type of longitudinal research.

Quantile regression (QR) provides an alternative to linear regression (LR) that allows for the estimation of relationships across the distribution of an outcome. However, as highlighted in recent research on the motherhood penalty across the wage distribution, different procedures for conditional and unconditional quantile regression (CQR, UQR) often result in divergent findings that are not always well understood. In light of such discrepancies, this paper reviews how to implement and interpret a range of LR, CQR, and UQR models with fixed effects. It also discusses the use of Quantile Treatment Effect (QTE) models as an alternative to overcome some of the limitations of CQR and UQR models. We then review how to interpret results in the presence of fixed effects based on a replication of Budig and Hodges's work on the motherhood penalty using NLSY79 data.

This reprinted article originally appeared in (American Sociological Review 45 (August 1980). An earlier version of this paper was presented at Boston MA: Annual meeting of the American Sociological Association, August 1979. Chapter: Analyzed career differences by race and sex by examining various aspects of career inequality: initial status and wage level; potential status and wage levels; effects of human capital, family background, and family of procreation variables on initial and potential wage and status levels; speed of advancement. Pooling of cross-sections and time-series techniques are used to estimate the model, with data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of the Labor Market Experience of Young Men (1966-1973) and Women (1968-1975). Employment and educational histories were collected for 14-24 yr. olds at the time of the 1st survey for each group. Results how a general advantage of white men in many aspects of careers, including wage levels and returns to human capital. Differences where shown in effects of education and training, marital status, and parental socioeconomic status early in the career vs at the career stage when change has ceased to occur.

Approximately 20% of workers are employed during nonstandard work shifts, and research on this topic has begun to increase. As the survey is a primary mode of data collection on nonstandard work, it is important for sociological practitioners and researchers to understand the implications of using different work shift measures in survey research. In the following study, data was used from the 2004 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (n = 6,559) to compare both self-defined and clock-derived measures of work shift. A high level of overall agreement was found between these two different types of measures; however, agreement was not found among all individual types of shifts. In addition, certain demographic characteristics resulted in higher odds of agreement between these two work shift measures. Drawing from these results, the strengths, limitations, and implications for using self-defined and clock-derived work shift measures in survey research are discussed.

Social surveys both reflect and shape beliefs about sexuality. Social norms construct the "authorized vocabulary" of surveys and the resulting data influence the research questions that can be answered and the policies likely to be inspired by study findings. Scholars have called for balancing attention to pleasure vs. danger and normative vs. non-normative practices in studies of sexuality as well as for collection of data on sexual desires, behaviors, and identities. We combine these calls into what we term the sexuality prism. To better understand how data about sexuality are typically collected and what research they facilitate or constrain, we analyze six decades of materials from four of the largest social surveys in the United States and five national surveys focused on sexuality, health, and family formation. We find that these surveys do not allow for investigations of the full sexuality prism. Instead, they tend to assume and narrowly investigate the "charmed circle" of sexuality: heterosexual, married, monogamous, and potentially procreative couplings. When surveys ask about non-normative practices, they do so primarily in the context of risk (e.g. sexually transmitted diseases) and ignore non-normative practices that are not deemed "risky." The focus on risk likely explains the greater attention to sexual behaviors and the shortage of questions about sexual desires and identities. Moreover, most questions about sexual practices highlight the dangers of sex, rather than the pleasures. Not only does this severely limit the scope of U.S. sexuality research, it also means that, individually and collectively, these surveys reify "sex negativity."
