Mediating Mechanisms for the Intergenerational Transmission of Constructive Parenting
Based on a prospective longitudinal panel data set that was collected at three developmental stages-early adolescence, young adulthood, and middle adulthood- this study investigates marital satisfaction and educational attainment as mediating mechanisms as well as gender's moderating effect for the intergenerational transmission of constructive parenting ( N = 1,560). The results show that perceived satisfying experiences with parents during earl…
The Effects of Marital Conflict and Marital Disruption on Depressive Affect
Objectives. We examine the independent and interactive effects of marital conflict and marital disruption on women's depressive affect and how these effects vary by family's poverty status. Methods. We use the OLS regression and data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to test the hypothesized relationships. Results. The results showed that marital conflict and marital disruption each predicts subsequent depression after controlling fo…

School Failure in Early Adolescence and Status Attainment in Middle Adulthood
Guided by a life-course perspective and using a longitudinal panel data set collected at three developmental stages (early adolescence, young adulthood, and middle adulthood), structural equation analyses specify how early school failure influences status attainment at midlife. The results demonstrate that years of education completed in early adulthood is not the only mediating pathway. Lower levels of mental health and higher rates of deviant b…

Intergenerational Transmission of Constructive Parenting
Past research on the intergenerational transmission of parenting concentrates on the continuity of harsh or abusive parenting, for the most part relying on retrospective reports of early upbringing. This study investigates the intergenerational transmission of constructive parenting using a 3-wave longitudinal data set that has spanned 2 decades, obtaining the respondents' contemporaneous reports in early adolescence, early adulthood, and middle …
The Relation between Parental Constructive Behavior and Adolescent Association with Achievement-Oriented Peers
There is abundant research about the negative influences of peer groups and other factors contributing to adolescent involvement with deviant peers. This study used three waves of panel data to investigate the relation between parental constructive behavior and adolescent association with achievement-oriented peers. Parental constructive behavior was found to be positively related to adolescents'own achievement orientation a year later, which in …
Ethnic Similarities and Differences in the Association of Emotional Autonomy and Adolescent Outcomes
This study has conducted an ethnic comparison on the strength of the association between Individuation, a subscale from the Emotional Autonomy construct presented originally by Steinberg and Silverberg in 1986, and adolescent outcomes in terms of self-esteem and susceptibility to negative peer pressure. Consistent with what was expected, the association between Individuation and lowered self-esteem was more salient among 287 Asian-American adoles…
Relating Aspects of Adolescent Emotional Autonomy to Academic Achievement and Deviant Behavior
Explored in this study are the multidimensional characteristics associated with adolescent emotional autonomy from parents. Previous research using the Steinberg and Silverberg measure of emotional autonomy had reported inconsistent results in predicting adolescent outcomes. This study used a structural equation model with latent constructs to differentiate the domains of emotional autonomy and specify the intervening processes. The results suppo…
The impact of family structure during adolescence on deviance in early adulthood
Using three waves of panel data (N = 2,931), the authors estimated a structural equation model to test the direct and indirect effect of family structure during early adolescence on forestalling deviance in early adulthood. Family structure is hypothesized to affect young adult deviance through four intervening processes during adolescence: parent‐child relationship, commitment to conventional values, association with deviant peers, and subjectiv…
Family Decision Making and Academic Performance in a Diverse High School Population
This article reports the relation betweenfamily decision-making behaviors and academic performance as measured by student effort and grades among a sample of youths from diverse family structures and socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. Youths and a subset of their parents reported on how families made decisions on adolescent issues. Granting adolescents too-early autonomy in decision making was associated with lower levels of effort and lower g…
