Family Relationships and Support Systems in Emerging Adulthood.
The Noncustodial Father-Child Relationship From Adolescence Into Young Adulthood
The relationship between adult children aged 18 - 24 and noncustodial fathers was explored with longitudinal data from the National Survey of Families and Households (n = 359). Noncustodial fathers' commitment to their adolescent children (contact, involvement in childrearing decisions) was strongly associated with father-child relations in early adulthood. Father-adult child relations were weaker when children were born to an unmarried mother an…
Impact of Family Structure on Parental Attitudes Toward the Economic Support of Adult Children Over the Transition to Adulthood
This research explored the influence of family structure on midlife parents' attitudes toward the economic support of adult children and measured change in those attitudes as their oldest child moved from adolescence to young adulthood. Results suggest that family structure has long-term effects on parents' attitudes toward financial obligations to children. Compared to intact families, both stepparents and remarried (biological) parents were les…
Long-Term Effects of Parenting Practices During Adolescence on Well-Being Outcomes in Young Adulthood
This research investigated the consequences of parent-child relationships during adolescence for young adults' well-being and substance use. Analysis of longitudinal data from the National Survey of Families and Households provided support for the hypothesis that parent-adolescent relationships have long-term consequences for young adult well-being and behavior. The findings are consistent with individuation theory and show that coercive parental…
Collecting Sensitive Self-Report Data With Laptop Computers
This research explored the effects of computerized, self-administered, data collection techniques in research on adolescents' self-reported substance use and psychological well-being. Adolescents recruited through a national probability sample of urban and suburban areas were randomly assigned to either a computerized, self-administered questionnaire or to a computer-plus-paper questionnaire format. Outcome measures included indicators of psychol…
Two Views of One Relationship
Patterns of agreement and disagreement on the quality of intergenerational relationships were explored in a sample of parents and young adult children. Data on parent-child closeness, contact, control, and conflict were taken from parent and child interviews in the longitudinal National Survey of Families and Households. Parents gave more positive reports than their adult child on six of the eight relationship indicators where parent and child an…

Substance Use Estimates From RDD and Area Probability Samples
Survey mode effects linked to unit nonresponse and screening procedures were estimated in a study of self-reported to bacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use. Two samples of the same popula tion were drawn: a random digit dial (RDD) sample with telephone screening and a multistage area probability sample with in-person screening. Respondents in both samples were interviewed by telephone to control mode of communication effects. Households with out t…

Interview Mode Effects in Surveys of Drug and Alcohol Use
This research explores the impact of interview mode on respondents' willingness to reveal illicit or undesirable behavior and mechanisms by which interview mode influences response tendencies. A field experiment was designed to control mode effects due to sampling and screening so that the impact of response anonymity (through use of self-administered questionnaires ([SAQs]) and social distance in the interviewer-respondent relationship (telephon…
Later Life Parental Divorce and Widowhood
Most research on the long-term effects of parental marital dissolution has focused on divorce that occurs when children are under age 18. This article explores the intergenerational consequences of parental marital dissolution that occurs after children have reached adulthood. The focus is on young adult children who grew up in intact families, but who experienced parental separation, divorce, or the death of a parent after they left home to be o…
Impact of Childhood Family Disruption on Young Adults' Relationships with Parents
This article explores the long-term implications of childhood family disruption and children's living arrangements after family disruption for parent-child relations in adulthood. Research on consequences of parental marital dissolution for children has focused primarily on the social, emotional, and cognitive adjustment of children under age 18. Considerably less attention has been given to the long-term effects of childhood family structure on …

Family Structure and Home-Leaving
This article investigates the impact of childhood family structure on the timing of home-leaving [in the United States]....This research builds on previous work by examining the influence of a wider array of childhood living arrangements on home-leaving and by exploring the differential impact of family structure on the transitions to semiautonomy marriage and residential independence....The results...show that childhood family structure has a su…
Predicting Parents' Experiences With Coresident Adult Children
This research examined the likelihood of parent-adult child coresidence and the implications of coresidence for the quality of life as perceived by parents. Data from the 1987-1988 National Survey of Families and Households showed that a positive home environment is a strong selection factor in predicting the probability of coresidence. The presence of unlaunched adult children is most likely when families have not been reconstituted through pare…
Effects of Interview Mode on Self-Reported Drug Use
The effects of interview mode on 18- to 34-year-olds' self-reported tobacco, alcohol, marijuna, and cocaine use were investigated. RDD telephone and personal drug use surveys of the state of New Jersey were conducted in 1986–87. In the personal interview, respondents recorded their drug use on self-administrated answer sheets. Compared to the area probability sample in the personal interview, RDD yielded a sample of blacks higher in income and ed…
The Likelihood of Parent-Adult Child Coresidence
This study estimates the influence of child parent and family structural characteristics on the likelihood of parents having a coresident adult child. Data from a representative national sample of [U.S.] parents (N = 4893) show that parental dependency is not the major factor explaining coresidence at any point in the life course. The large majority of parents at all ages maintain their own households and most parents and adult children who cores…
