    Open Access•Kyung Won Choi, R Crosnoe•ARTICLE•Journal of Marriage and the Family•2026

  • What Mothers of Children with Disabilities are Telling Us

    Open Access•R Crosnoe, Carly Young et al.•ARTICLE•Contexts•2026

    The challenges of being a mother in the united states can be great and are often only heightened for women raising children with disabilities. interviews with mothers not only confirmed this reality, but also revealed ways that such mothers grow, adapt, find joy, and demonstrate resilience on their long journeys of raising their children over many decades

  • Comparing the Role of Selection in Early Adolescent Substance Use Disparities Related to Single-Mother Family Structures Across Three Affluent Countries

    Open Access•R Crosnoe, Jared D Thorpe•ARTICLE•Demography•2025•References: 63

    This study investigated the association between family structure and the onset of substance use by early adolescence (e.g., before age 14) in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with a focus on the role of selection in this association. Leveraging nationally representative surveys, logistic regression models estimated this association while iteratively controlling for three sets of selection mechanisms and testing for differenti…

  • Life Course Dynamics in the Health of Mothers Raising Children with Serious Conditions

    Open Access•X Yan, R Crosnoe•ARTICLE•Journal of Health and Social…•2025•References: 43

    Although raising children with serious conditions is known to be associated with poorer parental well-being, recent research following a life course perspective highlights how these associations accumulate over time. Expanding this perspective on long-term dynamics of this parental experience, this study examined how three conceptualizations of the 'intensity' of this parental role-caregiving duration, cumulative transitions into this role, and t…

  • Mindsets, contexts, and college enrollment

    Open Access•Cameron A Hecht, Jenny Buontempo et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 15

    Socioeconomic disparities in academic progress have persisted throughout the history of the United States, and growth mindset interventions-which shift beliefs about the malleability of intelligence-have shown promise in reducing these disparities. Both the study of such disparities and how to remedy them can benefit from taking the "long view" on adolescent development, following the tradition of John Schulenberg. To do so, this study focuses on…

  • Adolescence in the life course spotlight

    Open Access•R Crosnoe•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2024•References: 2

    The articles in this special issue were inspired by the late John Schulenberg's long view of adolescence, a perspective that emphasizes the integral role that the teens and twenties play in the life course. Using multiple longitudinal data sources to explore myriad developmental topics, the authors delve into the ways that adolescence connects, disrupts, and stands out from childhood and adulthood as a means of integrating rather than isolating t…

  • Teacher Mindsets Help Explain Where a Growth-Mindset Intervention Does and Doesn’t Work

    Open Access•David S Yeager, Jamie M Carroll et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Science•2022

    A growth-mindset intervention teaches the belief that intellectual abilities can be developed. Where does the intervention work best? Prior research examined school-level moderators using data from the National Study of Learning Mindsets (NSLM), which delivered a short growth-mindset intervention during the first year of high school. In the present research, we used data from the NSLM to examine moderation by teachers’ mindsets and answer a new q…

  • The health of mothers of adult children with serious conditions

    Open Access•H Cha, R Crosnoe•ARTICLE•Journal of Marriage and the Family•2022

    Objectives: This study examined the association between parenting adult children with serious conditions and mothers' midlife health in the United States. Background: The literature about the link between the parenting status of having an adult child with a serious condition and maternal wellbeing can be advanced by systematic analysis of the cumulative role that this parenting status can play in maternal health over the life course as opposed to…

  • School-based extracurricular activity involvement and high school dropout among at-risk students

    Éliane Thouin, Véronique Dupéré et al.•ARTICLE•Applied Developmental Science•2022

    Encouraging involvement in school-based extracurricular activities (ECA) may be important for preventing high school dropout. However, the potential of these activities remains underexploited, perhaps because studies linking ECA involvement and dropout are rare and based on decades-old data. Previous studies also ignore key parameters of student involvement. The present study expands and updates this limited literature by using recent data from a…

  • Maternal education and early childhood education across affluent English-speaking countries

    Open Access•R Crosnoe, Cheryl A Johnston et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

    Women who attain more education tend to have children with more educational opportunities, a transmission of educational advantages across generations that is embedded in the larger structures of families’ societies. Investigating such country-level variation with a life-course model, this study estimated associations of mothers’ educational attainment with their young children’s enrollment in early childhood education and engagement in cognitive…

  • Contextualizing the Social and Educational Journeys of Adolescents within the Life Course

    Open Access•R Crosnoe•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2021

    What happens during adolescence emerges from early in life and sets the stage for later in life. This linking function of adolescence within the life course is grounded in social, psychological, and biological development and is fundamental to the intergenerational transmission of societal inequalities. This article explores this life course phenomenon by focusing on how the social ups and downs of secondary school shape adolescents’ educational …

  • Family Structure and Secondary Exposure to Violence in the Context of Varying Neighborhood Risks and Resources

    Open Access•H Stritzel, Chelsea Smith Gonzalez et al.•ARTICLE•Socius Sociological Research for…•2021•References: 21

    Secondary exposure to violence in the community is a prevalent developmental risk with implications for youths’ short- and long-term socioemotional functioning. This study used longitudinal, multilevel data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods to consider how family structure, including parental instability, is associated with youths’ secondary exposure to violence across diverse neighborhood contexts. Results showed tha…

  • The Developmental Significance of Looks from Middle Childhood to Early Adolescence

    Open Access•Lilla K Pivnick, Rachel A Gordon et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2021•Cited by: 1•References: 14

    Physical appearance during the transition into adolescence matters for youths' socioemotional development. This study explored these implications by adding visual data to the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (n = 1,049) to test how others' ratings of youths' looks (1 = very unattractive to 5 = very attractive) at the beginning (grade 3) and end (grade 9) of this transition shaped their emotional well-being, popularity/likabil…

Qualitative interviews with frontline staff revealed that in Effective…

  • Concentrated Poverty in U.S. Schools and Adolescents’ Risk of Being Overweight

    Open Access•Jennifer March Augustine, Lilla K Pivnick et al.•ARTICLE•Social Currents•2020•References: 22

    The economic segregation of U.S. schools undermines the academic performance of students, particularly students from low-income families who are often concentrated in high-poverty schools. Yet it also fuels the reproduction of inequality by harming their physical health. Integrating research on school effects with social psychological and ecological theories on how local contexts shape life course outcomes, we examined a conceptual model linking …

  • Crowd Sourcing

    Open Access•Lilla K Pivnick, Rachel A Gordon et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychology Quarterly•2020•References: 20

    During the transition into high school, adolescents sort large sets of unfamiliar peers into prototypical peer crowds thought to share similar values, behaviors, and interests (e.g., Jocks). Often, such sorting is based solely on appearance. This study investigates the accuracy of this sorting process in relation to actual characteristics using video and survey data from a longitudinal sample of U.S. youths who attended high school in the mid- to…

  • Family structure patterns from childhood through adolescence and the timing of cohabitation among diverse groups of young adult women and men

    Open Access•Cheryl A Johnston, Shannon Cavanagh et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2020•Cited by: 4•References: 13

    Family structure changes experienced by children are likely to shape their transitions into young adulthood, including the formation of their own romantic relationships. This study examined links between children's family structure trajectories from childhood through adolescence and their timing of entry into cohabitation as young adults, a transition with implications for future relationship instability through adulthood. Repeated measures laten…

    Open Access•R Crosnoe•ARTICLE•American Sociological Review•2009•Cited by: 115•References: 45

    Increasing constraints placed on race-based school diversification have shifted attention to socioeconomic desegregation. Although past research suggests that socioeconomic desegregation can produce heightened achievement, the "frog pond" perspective points to potential problems with socioeconomic desegregation in nonachievement domains. Such problems are important in their own right, and they may also chip away at the magnitude of potential achi…

    To explore the significance of social integration in the educational system, this study examined whether student-teacher relationships predicted two important student behavioral outcomes (academic achievement and disciplinary problems); whether these within-school intragenerational relationships were predicted by the structural, compositional, and climate-related characteristics of schools; and how the behavioral and contextual correlates of stud…

  • The Social Dynamics of Mathematics Coursetaking in High School

    Kenneth A Frank, Chandra Muller et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Sociology•2008•Cited by: 73•References: 89

    This study examines how high school boys' and girls' academic effort, in the form of math coursetaking, is influenced by members of their social contexts. The authors argue that adolescents' social contexts are defined, in part, by clusters of students (termed "local positions") who take courses that differentiate them from others. Using course transcript data from the recent Adolescent Health and Academic Achievement Study, the authors employ a …

  • Adolescent Friendships as Academic Resources

    Open Access•R Crosnoe, Jared D Thorpe et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Perspectives•2003•Cited by: 71•References: 30

    Research on adolescent friendships has typically treated these social ties differently from friendships at other stages of life or from other relationships during adolescence. To draw parallels among these literatures, this study focuses on two largely neglected aspects of adolescent friendships: their role in positive adjustment and the way in which this role varies by social structural and institutional context. In an analysis of data from 9,22…

  • Social Capital and the Interplay of Families and Schools

    Open Access•R Crosnoe•ARTICLE•Journal of Marriage and the Family•2004•Cited by: 51•References: 15

    Families and schools are two primary sources of social capital in the early life course. This study examines the degree to which these different contexts overlap to shape adolescent development. Multilevel modeling on nationally representative data (n = 11,927) revealed that emotionally distant relationships with parents were associated with declining academic achievement over 2 years of secondary schooling and that various aspects of the social …

  • Insights on Adolescence From a Life Course Perspective

    Open Access•M K Johnson, R Crosnoe et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2011•Cited by: 48•References: 8

    In this essay, we argue that viewing adolescence within the full life course will improve our understanding of both adolescence itself and the life course more generally. Such an approach makes explicit how adolescence is linked to developmental processes in the years both before and after adolescence in ways that are shaped by broader patterns of social change. We highlight insights from research over the past decade that illustrate the kinds of…

  • Family Dynamics, Supportive Relationships, and Educational Resilience During Adolescence

    Open Access•R Crosnoe, Jared D Thorpe et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Issues•2004•Cited by: 46•References: 19

    If problematic relationships with parents are an academic risk factor during adolescence, then nonparental sources of support (e.g., friends, siblings, and teachers) may be arenas of comfort that promote educational resilience in the face of such risk. In a series of structural models using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the authors found that nonparental relationships are more likely to be directly associated with academic…

    Obesity is a health condition, but its consequences extend far beyond the realm of health. To illuminate an important route by which the experience of obesity can filter into the status attainment process, this study drew on nationally representative data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to test a social psychological model of the gendered link between obesity and education. Obese girls were less likely to enter college a…

    Because children from low-income families benefit from preschool but are less likely than other children to enroll, identifying factors that promote their enrollment can support research and policy aiming to reduce socioeconomic disparities in education. In this study, we tested an accommodations model with data on 6,250 children in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort. In general, parental necessity (e.g., maternal employment) and…

    This study explores gender differences in the impact of risk and protective factors on adolescent deviant behavior. With a longitudinal design and reports from actual friends, regression analyses indicate that both family and school factors reduced adolescent delinquency and substance use and protected adolescents against the impact of having deviant friends, though school factors were more consistently protective than family factors. The sources…

    To investigate the role of body size in social networks, this study estimated cross-nested multilevel network models (p2) with longitudinal data from the 16 saturated schools in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. As body mass index increased, the likelihood of being nominated by schoolmates as friends — but not the likelihood of nominating others as friends — decreased. This trend was more pronounced among girls. Moreover, simi…

    Objectives. The purpose of this study was to explore generational differences in math/science enrollment and achievement among Mexican‐American students and the role of family and school contexts in these differences. Methods. We applied survey regression techniques to data from 12,020 adolescents in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Results. Native‐born Mexican‐American students had lower math/science enrollment than their pe…

  • Body Mass Index, Academic Achievement, and School Context

    Open Access•R Crosnoe, Chandra Muller•ARTICLE•Journal of Health and Social…•2004•Cited by: 18•References: 17

    Reflected self-appraisal suggests that individual functioning is related to the fit between individual characteristics and the norms of their primary contexts. To apply this social psychological concept to the study of obesity, we hypothesized that adolescents at risk of obesity would have lower academic achievement overall than other students, especially in schools in which their weight status was most likely to elicit negative evaluations. Mult…

  • Academic Failure in Secondary School

    B L Needham, R Crosnoe et al.•ARTICLE•Social Problems•2004•Cited by: 28•References: 37

    This study explores whether the interplay of health problems and school environment predicts academic failure, an individual event with consequences for the life course, as well as for society at large. This exploration proceeds in three steps: 1) we examine whether physical and mental health problems are an academic risk factor during secondary school; 2) we investigate the academic mechanisms underlying this risk status; and 3) we explore wheth…

  • Family Dynamics, Supportive Relationships, and Educational Resilience During Adolescence

    Open Access•R Crosnoe, Jared D Thorpe et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Issues•2004•Cited by: 46•References: 19

    If problematic relationships with parents are an academic risk factor during adolescence, then nonparental sources of support (e.g., friends, siblings, and teachers) may be arenas of comfort that promote educational resilience in the face of such risk. In a series of structural models using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the authors found that nonparental relationships are more likely to be directly associated with academic…

  • Intergenerational Bonding in School

    Open Access•R Crosnoe, M K Johnson et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Education•2004•Cited by: 77•References: 27

    To explore the significance of social integration in the educational system, this study examined whether student-teacher relationships predicted two important student behavioral outcomes (academic achievement and disciplinary problems); whether these within-school intragenerational relationships were predicted by the structural, compositional, and climate-related characteristics of schools; and how the behavioral and contextual correlates of stud…

  • Social Capital and the Interplay of Families and Schools

    Open Access•R Crosnoe•ARTICLE•Journal of Marriage and the Family•2004•Cited by: 51•References: 15

    Families and schools are two primary sources of social capital in the early life course. This study examines the degree to which these different contexts overlap to shape adolescent development. Multilevel modeling on nationally representative data (n = 11,927) revealed that emotionally distant relationships with parents were associated with declining academic achievement over 2 years of secondary schooling and that various aspects of the social …

  • Double Disadvantage or Signs of Resilience? The Elementary School Contexts of Children From Mexican Immigrant Families

    Open Access•R Crosnoe•ARTICLE•American Educational Research…•2005•Cited by: 42•References: 28

    Children from Mexican immigrant families represent one of the fastest-growing populations in the American educational system, but their ability to use this system to improve their long-term prospects may be hampered by problems associated with their schools. The present study explored this issue in a national sample of American kindergarteners. First, propensity score matching techniques revealed that children from Mexican immigrant families were…
