Teen Sex Begins At Home, Study Finds The Seattle Times, September 26, 2002. Also: http://www.loper.org/~george/repchoice/2002/Sep/98.html Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: The Seattle Times Company Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Sexual Activity; Sexual Experiences/Virginity; Teenagers Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This article reports on Child Trend's analysis of NLSY97 data which indicated that the majority of teens' first sexual experiences were in their or their partner's family home during the evening or night. This goes against the popular conception that adolescent sexual intercourse occurs after school when parents are not at home. A similar Associated Press article appears on-line at http://american-vote.com/Issues/currentissues07.html. |

Kids' $50 Allowance Has Experts Divided Over Division Seattle Times, June 4, 2000, Local News; Pg. B1 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: The Seattle Times Company Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Allowance, Pocket Money; Employment, Youth; Family Resources; Family Studies; Transfers, Parental; Wages, Youth Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This article discusses the controversy over Jay Zagorsky's study of NLSY79 data that found that teen "parental transfers" (reported as "allowances" in the media) amounted to $50 a week. Other researchers using NLSY data found dissimilar results. The discrepancy occurred because of different methods in interpreting two questions of the NLSY survey: (1) "In total, how much allowance did you receive during 1997?" and (2) "Did you receive this amount weekly, monthly, or some other way?" Zagorsky's analysis assumes that the answers to the two questions are connected, while Sabrina Pabilona's study, which found for a $8.24/week allowance, interpreted the two questions as unconnected. |
