Introduction to Special Issue on “Divorce and the Life Course”
With the severe upswing in divorce experienced by developed nations in the last fifty years, social scientists in many disciplines are intensifying their focus on marital dissolution and its implications for society, families, and individuals [...]
Grandparents' Support to Young Families
Objective This study investigates whether grandparents' support to their children's families varies by the child's union status—single, cohabiting, or married. Background More young families today are headed by unmarried parents due to increases in nonmarital childbearing, cohabitation, and divorce, and these families have fewer resources than married‐couple families. Grandparents can provide an important safety net to families in need. Although …
Patterns of Giving to Family and Giving to Others in Midlife
Of Human Bonding
This life-course analysis of family development focuses on the social dynamics among family members. It features parent-child relationships in a larger context, by examining the help exchange between kin and nonkin and the intergenerational transmission of family characteristics
Transitioning From Successful Aging
Objective: The life course perspective and representative U.S. data are used to test Rowe and Kahn's Successful Aging (SA) conceptualization. Four sets of influences (childhood experiences, social structural factors, adult attainments, and later life behaviors) on SA transitions are examined to determine the relative role of structural factors and individual behaviors in SA. Method: Eight waves of Health and Retirement Study data for 12,108 respo…
Examining Rowe and Kahn’s Concept of Successful Aging
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: This article critiques Rowe and Kahn's conceptualization of successful aging using tenets of the life course perspective. DESIGN AND METHODS: A review and synthesis of the literature on successful aging and studies that use a life course perspective. RESULTS: We draw on life course principles that view development as a dynamic lifelong process, embedded in historical time and place, and influenced by the web of relationships…
Role Ambiguity Among Women Providing Care for Ex-Husbands
Twenty-one women were interviewed regarding their caregiving experiences for ill or dying ex-husbands. Emergent in the analyses was the variety of ways in which they experienced role ambiguity as ex-wife caregivers. This article describes the role ambiguity ex-wife caregivers encountered interpersonally through interactions with network members, institutionally in dealing with professionals and the workplace, and intrapersonally in confusion over…
Young women's education and behavioural risk trajectories
In the USA, most pregnancies occurring to teenage women are unplanned, making both the decisions regarding their resolution and the consequences of those decisions important topics of inquiry. Substantial debate surrounds the potential consequences for young women of either carrying an unintended pregnancy to term or voluntarily terminating it. The present study utilises data from The US National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health prospectiv…
Adult Children
Family obligations and support behaviour
This study draws on national survey data from the United States of America (USA) and the Netherlands to compare family obligations and support behaviour for middle-generation adults who have a living aged parent and adult child. Consistent with a familialism by default hypothesis based on welfare state differences, the US sample espouses stronger family obligations than the Dutch sample. Yet, the Dutch respondents are more likely to engage in fam…
Remembered Parenting Styles and Adjustment in Middle and Late Adulthood
There is some support that remembered parenting styles continue to be related to functioning across the lifespan. There is also evidence of resiliency, flexibility, and malleability in human development
Women in the Middle
This study compared the adjustment of two groups of grandmothers who were providing primary care for grandchildren in split-generation households: 25 grandmothers in the oldest generation of their families (G1), and 22 grandmothers who had living parents or in-laws (G2). It was hypothesized that because of potential demands on them as middle-generation women, G2 grandmothers would report greater burden and depression in their caregiving roles tha…
Parental Divorce and Perceptions of Past Interparental Conflict
This study assesses the communication of young adults in relation to parental divorce and past interparental conflict. Results indicate that parental divorce is predictive of poorer reported intimate communication while perceived interparental conflict is predictive of poorer reported non-intimate communication, especially for females. Further analyses of specific conflict dimensions reveal that intensity of interparental conflict was associated …
Intimate Relationships in Later Life
This article reviews the relationship statuses that are common for older adults today. It addresses the prevalence of various statuses among the older adult population as well as their consequences for economic, social, psychological, and physical well-being and adjustment. In addition, consideration is given to how the prevalence and experience of various relationship statuses may change in the next few decades given such demographic changes as …
Relationship quality between multiracial adolescents and their biological parents
National survey data were used to compare single-race white and minority adolescents with multiracial adolescents in terms of relationships with their parents. Three relational dimensions were considered: association/interaction, communication, and emotional closeness. Comparable relationship quality was found between parents and adolescents in all three groups, except that multiracial boys and their fathers were found to be less emotionally clos…
Adjustment problems in adolescence
Data from a national survey were used to compare adjustment between a group of multiracial adolescents and two groups of single-race adolescents, grades seven to twelve. Significant differences were found on fewer than half of the school, behavioral, and psychological dimensions that were assessed. Implications for research and school interventions are discussed
Family Structure Differences in the Timing of Leaving Home
Eight years of panel data are used in an event history analysis to examine the association between family structure and departure from the parental home for over 700 youth. Specifically, we focus on several possible mediators in this relationship (parent-child relationship quality, household work efforts, psychological efficacy, family income and personal income, peer involvement, and one's own childbearing) to determine whether they alter the st…
The Effects of Family Characteristics and Time Use on Teenagers' Household Labor
Studies suggest that contributions to housework are minimal. However much of this research focuses on young adolescents, utilizes data regarding tasks, and ignores chores children more often perform. We address these gaps by analyzing longitudinal time-use data collected from teens on the types of household chores they are most likely to perform. We examine gender inequity in teens' contributions to household labor and how it changes over high sc…
Young Adults' Relations with Grandparents following Recent Parental Divorce
This study employed a large survey of young adults to consider the association between recent parental divorce and intergenerational solidarity between adult grandchildren and their grandparents. The results indicate no significant association between parental divorce and young adults' reports of affective, associational, or functional solidarity in relation to either maternal or paternal grandparents. Adult grandchildren from divorced families, …
Mental Health Outcomes Following Recent Parental Divorce
The role of parental divorce in young adult adjustment has been overlooked in the divorce and developmental literature. This study addresses the association between recent parental divorce and mental health outcomes in young adults aged 18 to 23. Divorce decrees and driver's license registries in a single state were used to draw a sample of 485 White young adults, half of whom had experienced parental divorce within 15 months of the interview and…
Young Adults' Marital and Family Attitudes
Only a few small studies have examined the effects of recent parental divorce on young adults, including how it influences attitudes toward marriage and divorce. Results from studies using parental marital status as a predictor of young adults' attitudes have been inconsistent. Other studies have suggested that parental and family conflict would be stronger predictors of young adults' marital and family attitudes. The main hypothesis of this stud…
Young Adults' Relations with Parents
The divorce rate in the United States declined in the 1980s after nearly 2 decades of unprecedented growth (National Center for Health Statistics, 1992). This was generally good news, although the level at which rates recently stabilized far exceeds those of the early 1960s. Somewhat overshadowed by these recent, welcomed developments, however, is the continued increase in divorce rates for older couples in long-term marriages. Over 20% of divorc…
The Changing Contract across Generations
Recent Demographic Change
Because of dramatic reductions in mortality levels across the 20th century, most Americans today can anticipate living into old age. The predictability of a long-lived life today, however, is accompanied by increasingly diverse life oppurtunities and experiences. Partly as a result of reduced mortality, we have witnessed marked changes in marriage, divorce, fertility and employment patterns in recent decades. These demographic changes introduce b…

The Role of Divorce in Men's Relations with Their Adult Children after Mid-Life
Studies of post-divorce parent-child relations have concentrated primarily on the short-term consequences of divorce for relations between young children and their fathers. In contrast this study examines the extended effects of divorce on mens relations with their adult offspring. Father-child relations with ever-divorce men aged 50- 79 are compared with those of never-divorced married men on the basis of data from the US National Survey of Fami…

Timing of Fatherhood
Paternal involvement with children has received increased attention, yet the factors that influence variation in involvement remain largely unidentified. This analysis of fathers from a nationally representative sample explores the relationship between timing of fatherhood and men's parenting behavior and parental affect. Multivariate analyses reveal no effects of timing on these outcomes when considered separately. Yet, differences are found on …

Family-Building Patterns of Professional Women
Researchers analyzed 1980 data on 1120 postsecondary teachers 839 lawyers and 486 physicians to compare family building events of these 3 groups of 30-39 year old white professional women living in the US. 35-39 year old women were less likely to be currently married and were more likely to have no children than women in the general population ( 75% and 20-30% vs. 9%). More 35-39 year old physicians were currently married than lawyers (68.7% vs. …

Changes in Work-Family Connections Among Highly Educated Men and Women
Traditionally, work and family roles have been less compatible for women than for men. Census data are used to describe changes in the work-family connection between 1970 and 1980 for highly educated men and women, aged 30 to 39. The analyses reveal that despite educational and occupational advances for women during the 1970s, gender differences in the connection between work and family experiences remained substantial over the decade. Marriage a…

Young Adults and Parental Divorce
In this article, the potential impact ofparental divorce on the lives of young adult offspring is discussed. Parental divorce may upset both social and psychological aspects of the transition to adulthood process. The family roles young adults are expected to assume could be altered by the break-up, as could opportunities for particularyoung adult pursuits, such as advanced education. Heightened adjustment problems also are likely to result, as d…
Adult age differences in sensitivity to semantic structure of prose
Parental divorce in young adulthood
Developmental differences in reactions to parental divorce have not been examined beyond adolescence, and the impact of divorce on older offspring has thus been minimized. Central themes that emerged from an exploratory study of 18-to-23-year-olds suggest that the break-up of their parents' marriage represents a critical event deserving of further attention from researchers and clinicians
