“I Worked Really Hard to Know Who I Am”
Although identity development is often framed as a task of adolescence, identity continues to evolve across the life course. Midlife, in particular, involves significant role change, reflection, and meaning-making, yet women’s midlife identity development within religious contexts remains understudied. Using life course and narrative identity frameworks, this qualitative study examined how women navigate identity shifts during midlife within a fa…

What is your type? Latent classes of newly married couples' gender ideologies
Objective This study aims to understand how married couples agree or disagree on gender ideologies, as well as what sociodemographic characteristics are related to these pairings. Background Past studies have explored the multidimensional nature of gender ideologies within individuals; however, this multidimensionality at the couple level is less understood. Although some research suggests couples will largely agree on gender ideologies, other th…
Maternal labor supply among fully biological, fully adoptive, and mixed biological/adoptive mothers
Racial differences in adoption expectations
To Control or Be Controlled
Research to date has not differentiated between siblings' experiences of being controlling versus being controlled. This study examined adolescent siblings' control dynamics and their links with sibling closeness and conflict, and how those links were moderated by birth order and agreeableness. Data were analyzed from 327 families with two adolescent siblings between the ages of 12 and 18 (older sibling M = 17.17 years, SD = .94; younger sibling …
Social Comparison as a Barrier to Relationship Satisfaction through a Weakened Sense of Self
Social comparison may weaken one’s sense of self and limit satisfaction in romantic relationships. Using a sample of adults in committed relationships (n = 421), we examine whether engaging in social comparison is associated with relationship satisfaction and whether this association is mediated by sense of self. Results indicated that more social comparison is associated with a weaker sense of self but having a strong sense of is positively asso…

Racial Disparities in Socioeconomic Status Among Adoptive Parents
Parents of color are underrepresented in adoption research and as adoptive parents. Consequently, there is limited understanding of racial disparities in socioeconomic status (SES) among adoptive parents. We test two hypotheses: (1) racial disparities in the United States will be reflected in the adoption community (social stratification) and (2) adoptive parents of color may need to overcome additional barriers to adoption, thus having higher SE…
Online Schooling, Race, and the Supervision of Children at the Height of the Covid-19 Pandemic
At the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, there was a shift from in-person to online schooling as the primary mode of instruction for children. This study examines racial/ethnic inequalities in children's participation in online schooling at the height of the pandemic, and how their families adjusted to the process. The analysis was conducted using data from the 2022 Covid-19 in American Communities-2 study. The results indicate that the children o…
Contextualizing Maternal Education and Child Health in Sub-Saharan Africa
We examined how the relationship between maternal education and child health varies across women’s status and safety using pooled Demographic and Health Survey data from 24 sub-Saharan African countries. While maternal education was associated with less child stunting, wasting, and underweight, the effect of maternal education on stunting and underweight was attenuated among women who experienced high levels of intimate partner violence (IPV). Fu…

Mindfulness and individual, relational, and parental outcomes during the transition to parenthood
With more than one million couples transitioning to parenthood each year, finding ways to enable healthier transitions is salient. Trait mindful awareness and sexual mindfulness were examined in an Actor Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) framework using 169 mixed-sex, married couples to evaluate their association with individual, relational, and parental outcomes. For couples who have transitioned to parenthood, mothers' trait mindfulness was …
Gendered Housework Among Adolescents in India
Although an in-depth body of literature has explored the gendered lives of children in India, little is known about adolescents. Utilizing 24-hour time diary data from South India, this study examined how girls' ( n = 554) and boys' ( n = 577) engagement in housework varied by parents' gender ideology. Findings show that adolescent girls with egalitarian parents do significantly less housework than girls with less egalitarian parents. At first gl…
Racial Family Configurations and Inequalities in Private School Enrollment Among Adopted Children
This study uses data from the American Community Survey to examine the relationship between race, family configurations, and inequalities in private school enrollment among adoptees. We find that private school enrollment is higher in transracial than in same-race families. This disparity is driven by the outcomes of adoptees in transracial families with zero rather than one same-race parent. Among adoptees themselves, there are diverging pattern…
Implicit and Explicit Childhood Financial Socialization
Child placement after parental incarceration
Involved Is an Interesting Word
School-based parental involvement is a common practice in the United States, and yet there is an emerging view that parents' involvement in schools may have little if any academic benefit for their children. However, such conclusions are often based on narrowly construed survey questions, such as "Did you attend PTA in the past year?". In our study, we re-examine commonly used measurements of school-based parental involvement using 130 interviews…
Non-Parental Family Members as Brokers of Family Social Capital
Non-parental family members are understudied but important brokers of family social capital, especially in contexts without a nuclear-family norm. We used rich time diary data from a sample of 1568 South Indian adolescents to examine the relationships between any time spent with parents, parents’ residency status, and the time spent with non-parental family members. We found that adolescents with at least one non-resident parent spent significant…
Family Structure and Child Well-Being in a Non-western Context
Exploring Multiple Dimensions of Young Women’s Fertility Preferences in Malawi
Adoption
These findings suggest a need to consider parental sex preferences and child sex in studies on adoption decisions. Further, adoption provides one mechanism parents can use to achieve a balanced sex composition among their children
Adoption Status and Disparities in the Familial Configurations of Children
Few studies have examined the familial configurations of adopted children and how these configurations differ from those of nonadoptees. As a result, this study examines the relationship between adoption status and inequalities in the family structure of children. Our results indicate that adopted children are more likely to live in nuclear families compared with nonadopted children. Part of this is driven by the comparatively limited presence of…
