Changes in the influence of early marriage on the educational attainment of men and women
Has the impact of early marriage on educational attainment lessened among younger men and women? Using national survey data and an index of early marriage, this study suggests that the effects of early marriage have, in fact, increased in their negative consequences for both genders, with females consistently more at risk of reduced education across all birth cohorts. Possible explanations for this difference include the disproportionate tendency…
The consequences of early marriage on marital dissolution
This study is concerned with the negative effects of early marriage on marital stability. "The focus on this paper is an analysis of a path model which includes the estimated effects of antecedents of early marriage, early marriage and education on the probability of divorce. Findings using the [U.S.] General Social Surveys support research that suggests that early marriage is the most important varialbe influencing divorce. Further, little influ…
Gender, marital status, and mental well-being
In The Future of Marriage, Bernard (1972) states that marriage is good for men but not for women: she reports married males to be happier than unmarried males or married women, who in turn are worse off emotionally than single women. The present study tests Bernard's thesis with a multi‐item index of mental well‐being and does not substantiate the relationships stated above. However, marriage is more beneficial for men than for women in that ther…
"Comment on Hanson and Tuch, "The Determinants of Marital Instability
This is a critique of a 1984 study by Sandra L. Hanson and Steven A. Tuch concerning the relationship in the United States between divorce and spouses employment. The nature of the data used concerning spouses employment and time-order questions concerning the definition of divorced status are particularly emphasized. A reply by Hanson and Tuch is also included (p. 670-2). (ANNOTATION)
Early Marriage as a Career Contingency
A new definition of early marriage is proposed and tested against age at first marriage for ability to predict educational attainment. Using multivariate statistics and a national probability sample, the index of early marriage was found to be the superior measure. A path analysis shows that generally reduced educational attainment is a consequence of early marriage in the total sample. However, women are more susceptible to reduced education by …
Race and Attitudes Toward Local Police
Using 1973 national poll data, this article finds that race and nine other standard demographic variables account for little of the variation in how well people like their local police. Nevertheless, several weak but intriguing relationships emerge. While blacks dislike local police significantly more than whites, age, rather than race, is the best predictor in the overall sample. Further, different forces are related to these attitudes within
Presence of Significant Others and the Avowal of Happiness among the Elderly
Public Support for Environmental Protection
The amount of support given environmental protection relative to that given ten other problem areas did not decline between 1973 (immediately prior to the “energy crisis”) and 1978. Analysis of the sources of public support for environmental protection revealed that only age had a substantial independent effect (β = −.168) on environmental priority scores
The Changing Association between Age and Happiness
The negative association between age and happiness displayed by over two decades of studies has shifted to positive in recent research. However, parallel changes in sampling techniques, measurement strategies, and use of control variables in recent research suggest that the shift may be more artifactual than actual. Data from seventeen national polls between 1948 and 1977—comparable to the research period on age and happiness—were used to examine…
The Impact of Loss of Career Continuity on the Later Occupational Adjustment of Problem Drinkers
Norman R. Layne, George D. Lowe, The Impact of Loss of Career Continuity on the Later Occupational Adjustment of Problem Drinkers, Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Vol. 20, No. 2 (Jun., 1979), pp. 187-193
Comparative Evaluation of the Local Police
Gallup data indicating presidential popularity from 1950 to 1974 are analyzed in a distributed lag model which tests the importance of key economic influences. Results indicate that inflation and military expenditures are statistically significant and politically important influences on presidential popularity. The success of this model in revealing hitherto undetected economic influence calls into question the nonfindings of previous simple line…
Race and Change in Rates of Treatment and Deaths due to Alcoholism in a Southern State
Wirth, Whiskey, and Wasp's
Several themes in Wirth's “Urbanism as a Way of Life” generate the prediction that alcohol use (versus nonuse) will be more widespread among residents of urban areas. Multiple regression analysis of data from two recent national polls (1966, 1968) reveals support for this prediction. With eight other key sociological variables simultaneously controlled, the greater the urbanism of a community (measured in terms of community size), the greater the…
Deaths Associated with Alcohol in Georgia, 1970
A search of death certificates revealed that there were 591 alcohol-related deaths in Georgia in 1970. The rates varied by age, sex and race. The age-specific total rate was 12.9 per 100,000

In contrast with the results of earlier studies in other locations, no significant social-class differences were found in the quality or quantity of treatment given to 1061 White male voluntary fir
Race and the Treatment of Alcoholism in a Southern State
This study of the relationship between race and the delivery of services to patients in a state facility for alcoholic rehabilitation found some differences as hypothesized. However, the repeated under-representation of black alcoholics compelled changes in the research question from (1) how were black alcoholics treated within the state's most highly regarded program, to (2) where were they treated, and to (3) why were they not found in treatmen…
