Tracing the Religious Life Course in an American Baby-Boom Cohort
The development of religiosity originates in earlier phases of the family and individual life course, yet few studies have investigated how early exposure to parental religiosity persists into mid- and later life. This investigation uses multigenerational data from 385 baby boom children, ages 16–26, and their parents in 1971, following children’s religious orientations into midlife and old age. Guided by intergenerational transmission and path d…
Young adult grandchildren's intergenerational and digital solidarity with grandparents and depressive symptoms during the pandemic
Profiles of intergenerational and digital solidarity between middle‐aged parents and young adult children during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
We uncovered latent profiles of intergenerational and digital solidarity between middle‐aged parents and their oldest young adult children during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Furthermore, we investigated whether solidarity latent profiles were related to middle‐aged parents' psychological well‐being. We used data from the 2022 survey of the Longitudinal Study of Generations (LSOG), which involved 234 middle‐aged parents providing information about thei…
Intergenerational Solidarity With Older Parents and Self‐Esteem of Middle‐Aged Children During the Covid‐19 Pandemic
Intergenerational social support has been considered an important factor in overcoming the COVID‐19 pandemic crisis. However, prior research has overlooked the connection between intergenerational solidarity—social cohesion between generations—and self‐esteem across Western and Asian families during the pandemic. We aimed to discover common unobserved latent classes of intergenerational solidarity with older parents among middle‐aged adults durin…
Does Religiosity Reduce Mortality Risk Over the Second Half of Life Among Southern Californians? A Multidimensional Model Within a Hazard Modeling Framework
This study explored the relationship between a multidimensional typology of religiosity and risk of mortality. Using data from middle-aged Southern California respondents in the Longitudinal Study of Generations, we performed latent class analysis to construct a typology of religiosity, which was then used to predict mortality from 1971 to 2020. We identified four religiosity classes: strongly, weakly, privately, and liberally religious. Cox prop…
Korean parents' intergenerational solidarity with adult children and their psychological outcomes during the Covid-19 pandemic
Previous research has rarely considered the nested nature of family solidarity when investigating the within-group heterogeneity of parent-child solidarity, particularly within the context of Korean families. Consequently, less is known about patterns of intergenerational solidarity at the family level during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea. Using data from Korean parents with multiple adult children during the pandemic, this study aimed to …
Intergenerational Value Discordances and Affectual and Associational Solidarity Between Older Parents and Adult Children
Using data from the Longitudinal Study of Generations 2016, we tested three hypotheses: (1) discordances in three intergenerational values (religion, gender role attitudes, and political attitudes) between parents and adult children would be negatively related to their affectual and associational solidarity with each other, (2) discordances in three values would be more deleterious for children's perceived solidarity with parents than vice versa,…
Religious Change and Continuity Across Generations
Religious Change and Continuity Across Generations: Passing on Faith in Families of Six European and North American Nations brings together scholars of religious studies, secularism, and family science to examine how religion is passed down the generations in six European and North American nations. Taking a social change perspective within the context of family socialization theory, the authors treat intergenerational change and continuity in re…
Intergenerational solidarity and digital communication during the Covid‐19 pandemic in South Korea
Previous research has not considered how digital communication fits with the established intergenerational solidarity paradigm, although the paradigm has undergone other refinements over time. Consequently, less is known about how the use of digital communication creates new types of intergenerational solidarity between parents and adult children, and how they are associated with their well‐being. With this foundation, we aimed to identify new dy…
Intergenerational solidarity with digital communication and psychological well‐being among older parents during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
We aimed to identify intergenerational solidarity (emotional closeness, in‐person contact, phone contact, geographic proximity, consensus, and conflict) with digital communication (texting, video call, and social media interaction) with adult children among older parents during the COVID‐19 pandemic. In addition, we aimed to investigate whether intergenerational solidarity with digital communication latent classes were associated with older paren…
A multidimensional typology of religiosity in three-generation families
Intergenerational and digital solidarity
ObjectiveWe aimed to explore dyadic latent classes of intergenerational solidarity with digital communication (texting, video call, and social media interaction) among older parent and adult child pairs during the COVID-19 pandemic, and whether derived dyadic latent classes were associated with older parents' and adult children's depressive symptoms.BackgroundPrevious studies have not considered how digital communication fits with the established…
Did Gender Egalitarianism Weaken Religiosity in Baby Boom Women? A Developmental-Historical Approach
This investigation used long-term longitudinal survey data from baby boomer women to identify whether strengthening gender role egalitarianism in early adulthood predicted declines in religious service attendance and religious intensity in later life. The aging of this cohort coincided with dramatic societal shifts in gender values and religiosity. The data were derived from 350 women participating in the Longitudinal Study of Generations, a stud…
Religious Transitions Among Baby Boomers From Young Adulthood to Later Life
We used classification analysis to examine change in religiosity among baby boomers from young adulthood to early old age and how religiosity transition patterns are associated with psychological well-being in later life. In addition, we tested the gender difference in the above association. We applied latent class and latent transition analysis to 392 baby boomers who participated in the Longitudinal Study of Generations in Wave-1 (1971) and Wav…
Reciprocal associations between affectual, associational, and normative solidarity with parents during children’s early to established adulthood
Intergenerational solidarity has become increasingly important to understand, as close family members mobilize the provision of social support across generations and contribute to family wellbeing. However, less is known about continuity and change in normative (eldercare norms), affectual, and associational solidarity with mothers and fathers as children emerge into full or established adulthood. Therefore, we focused on reciprocal associations …
Do religious transitions from early to established adulthood predict filial elder‐care norms
Objective This study employs multiple religious dimensions and a developmental perspective to identify distinct classes of religiosity among young adults in early and middle adulthood, and to describe how transition patterns in religiosity classes are associated with filial elder‐care norms in midlife. Background There is a broad consensus that religiosity is associated with strong intergenerational ties, including the willingness to provide supp…
Digital and Non-Digital Solidarity between Older Parents and Their Middle-Aged Children
We incorporated intergenerational digital communication (frequency of texting, video call, and social media interaction) into the intergenerational solidarity paradigm and identified new types of intergenerational and digital solidarity with adult children among older parents during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we examined whether those types are associated with older parents' mental health (depressive symptoms, psychological well-being, a…
Husband–Wife Religious Denomination Homogamy and Marital Satisfaction Over Time
Objective This study examines the extent to which homogamy and heterogamy in husband–wife religious denomination are associated with initial levels of marital satisfaction and slopes of marital satisfaction over 17 years examining whether those associations are moderated by husbands' and wives' religious intensity. Background Longitudinal studies on religion and marital outcomes that incorporate a dyadic component are relatively rare, and few stu…
Is the relationship between religiosity and filial elder-care norms declining? A comparison between two middle-aged generations
We investigated whether religiosity among middle-aged adults in the Baby Boom generation and Generation-X was associated with filial elder-care norms. The sample consisted of 720 Baby Boom and 520 Gen-X respondents participating in the Longitudinal Study of Generations. A cohort-comparative model was devised using data from Baby Boomers in 1994 and Gen-Xers in 2016, when they were 42 and 40 years old, respectively. A three-step latent class model…

Husband-Wife Religious Discordance, Marital Satisfaction, and Risk of Marital Dissolution in Two Generations
We examined whether three types of husband-wife religious discordance (denomination, intensity, and attendance) were associated with the risk of marital dissolution over three decades. Using multigroup path analysis, we tested the mediating and moderating roles of husbands' and wives' marital satisfaction in the above associations in two generations. Using the Longitudinal Study of Generations data, we selected 193 second-generation married coupl…
Parent-Adult Child Religious Discordance
This article focused on the relationship between parent-child religious discordance (affiliation, intensity, and attendance) in early adulthood and children's perceived affectual and associational solidarity with their parents across 20 years. The data derived from eight waves of the Longitudinal Study of Generations between 1971 and 2005. We selected 635 young adult children whose mothers and/or fathers also reported their religious orientations…

Genocide Films, Public Criminology, Collective Memory
One cannot understand or remember the genocides of the past in any direct manner. Their inaccessibility impedes us from working toward complex understandings of these events and adequate ways of responding to them. In this paper, we bring together various strands of criminological thought by examining genocide films as a form of public criminology that is engaged in the work of memory and commemoration. We identify a specific set of genocide film…
