    Open AccessSusan L Brown, I F Lin et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

  • Lifespan caregiving profiles in the United States

    Open AccessJanecca A Chin, Janecca Chin et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2025Referencias: 10

    Lifespan caregiving patterns in the United States are far from uniform. As demands on family caregivers continue to grow, identifying lifespan caregiving profiles offers a foundation for tailoring support to caregivers' diverse experiences

  • Intergenerational support among widowed older adults in China

    Open AccessZhenmei Zhang, I F Lin et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2024Referencias: 3

    With the rapid aging of the Chinese population, growing attention has been given to old-age support. Widowed older adults constitute a particularly vulnerable population because the loss of a spouse can lead to financial hardships and emotional distress. We used data from the 2002 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey to examine multiple dimensions of old-age support among a nationwide sample of widowed old adults ages 65 and older (N = 1…

  • Does the Transition to Grandparenthood Deter Gray Divorce? A Test of the Braking Hypothesis

    Open AccessSusan L Brown, I F Lin et al.ARTICLESocial Forces2020Citada por: 4Referencias: 41

    The gray divorce rate, which describes divorce among individuals aged 50 and older, has doubled since 1990. Extending prior research that showed the transition to parenthood has a 'braking effect' on divorce, we examined whether the transition to grandparenthood, an emotionally meaningful midlife event that typically renews midlife marriages, exerts an analogous 'braking effect' on gray divorce. Using panel data from the 1998-2014 Health and Reti…

  • Repartnering Following Gray Divorce

    Open AccessSusan L Brown, I F Lin et al.ARTICLEDemography2019Citada por: 23Referencias: 36

    The doubling of the gray divorce rate (i.e., divorce at age 50 or older) over the past few decades portends growth in later-life repartnering, yet little is known about the mechanisms undergirding decisions to repartner after gray divorce. Using data from the 1998–2014 Health and Retirement Study, we examined women’s and men’s likelihoods of forming a remarriage or cohabiting union following gray divorce by estimating competing risk multinomial l…

  • Depressive Symptoms Following Later-life Marital Dissolution and Subsequent Repartnering

    Open AccessI F Lin, I-Fen Lin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…2019Citada por: 20Referencias: 42

    The doubling of the divorce rate among individuals over age 50 during the past 20 years underscores the urgency of studying the consequences of gray divorce and subsequent repartnering for adult well-being. We filled this gap by using the 1998-to-2014 Health and Retirement Study to evaluate how the levels of depressive symptoms changed following gray divorce versus widowhood. Individuals who divorced or became widowed already had experienced high…

  • Intergenerational Transfer and Reporting Bias

    I F Lin, I-Fen Lin et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2017Citada por: 6Referencias: 7

    Bias is common in both parents' and adult children's reports of transfer. Separating bias from transfer and identifying their respective correlates makes it possible to explain why intergenerational transfer and reporting bias occur

  • Later Life Marital Dissolution and Repartnership Status

    Susan L Brown, I F Lin et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2016Citada por: 15Referencias: 7

    Later life marital dissolution increasingly occurs through divorce rather than widowhood, and divorce is more often followed by repartnership. The results from this study suggest that gerontological research should not solely focus on widowhood but also should pay attention to divorce and repartnering during later life

  • Evaluative and Experienced Well-being of Caregivers of Parents and Caregivers of Children

    Open AccessAnna M Hammersmith, I F Lin et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2016Citada por: 3Referencias: 8

    Experienced well-being appears to be more sensitive than evaluative well-being in detecting differences in well-being between these two types of caregivers. Given that the caregivers of parents do not receive the same level of institutional support as caregivers of children, social policies should aim to provide caregivers of parents with additional support

  • Antecedents of Gray Divorce

    I F Lin, I-Fen Lin et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2016Citada por: 13Referencias: 3

    Gray divorce is especially likely to occur among couples who are socially and economically disadvantaged, raising new questions about the consequences of gray divorce for individual health and well-being

  • Explaining Trends in Child Support

    Open AccessAnne Case, Anne C Case et al.ARTICLEDemography2003

    We use data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to examine trends in the receipt of child support (and the determinants of trends) between 1968 and 1997. The findings suggest that political, demographic, and economic forces all exerted downward pressure on child-support payments during this 30-year period, with inflation, the shift to unilateral divorce, and declines in fertility and men's earnings being more important during the earlier year…
