Family-friendly benefits and full-time working mothers' labor force persistence
Family-friendly benefits are intended to help mothers balance rather than juggle work and family. Prior research assumes that family-friendly benefits have a similar effect on mothers' persistence in full-time work across parity. However, there is evidence that the transitions to first-time and second-time motherhood are qualitatively, as well as quantitatively, different experiences. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79), we i…
The Overtaking of Undertaking: Gender Beliefs in a Feminizing Occupation
Hochschild, Arlie
Going Against the Flow: A Longitudinal Study of the Effects of Cognitive Skills and Gender Beliefs on Occupational Aspirations and Outcomes 1
Occupational sex segregation persists in part due to cultural beliefs in the existence of gender differences in skills. This article explores potential resistance to the gender‐typical aspirations and outcomes that re‐create occupational sex segregation: cognitive skills in gender‐atypical areas (i.e., math skills for women and verbal skills for men) and beliefs about women’s prioritization of family over paid work. Using the National Longitudina…
Punishment or Reward? An Experiment on the Effects of Sex and Gender Issues on Candidate Choice
Gender stereotyping plays a prominent role in American politics. Voters transfer their stereotypes of women and men to candidates seeking office. In this article, we look at vote choice as it relates to sex differences and gender-related issues in several different contexts. First, we replicate previous experiments in which sex is the sole cue in low information contexts. Second, we vary the context of the contest by adding issue cues, thus creat…
Attitudes about Affirmative Action for Women: The Role of Children in Shaping Parents’ Interests
Is There a Downside to Shooting for the Stars? Unrealized Educational Expectations and Symptoms of Depression
Despite decades of research on the benefits of educational expectations, researchers have failed to show that unrealized plans are consequential for mental health, as self-discrepancy and other social psychological theories would predict. This article uses two national longitudinal studies of youth to test whether unrealized educational expectations are associated with depression in adulthood. Negative binomial regression analyses show that unmet…
Absurdly Ambitious? Teenagers’ Expectations for the Future and the Realities of Social Structure
Expectations for achievement in the US border on the unrealistic. High school students expect to obtain better jobs and more education than current cohorts have achieved. Many youth also seem unaware of how to realize their ambitions. These findings lead to several questions about the causes and consequences of ambition. First, how do American youths’ ambitions compare with those of past cohorts and what consequences stem from rising ambitions? S…

Employee Awareness of Family Leave Benefits: The Effects of Family, Work, and Gender
The 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was intended to help employees meet short-term family demands, such as caring for children and elderly parents, without losing their jobs. However, recent evidence suggests that few women and even fewer men employees avail themselves of family leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. This paper examines the organizational, worker status, and salience/need factors associated with knowledge of famil…
