Mastery, Homeownership, and Adult Roles During the Transition to Adulthood Sociological Inquiry 86,1 (February 2016): 5-28. 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. |
