How the Social Environment Gets Under the Skin
Constrained choices? Linking employees' and spouses' work time to health behaviors
Experiences With Parents and Youth Physical Health Symptoms and Cortisol: A Daily Diary Investigation
Using daily diary data, this study examined the associations between positive and negative parent-youth experiences and youth cortisol and physical health symptoms among a sample of adolescents ( N =132, Mean Age = 13.39). On days when girls reported more negative experiences than usual, they exhibited more physical health symptoms and flatter evening cortisol slopes than usual. Negative experiences with mothers were associated with higher dinner…

Changing Work and Work-Family Conflict: Evidence from the Work, Family, and Health Network
Schedule control and supervisor support for family and personal life may help employees manage the work-family interface. Existing data and research designs, however, have made it difficult to conclusively identify the effects of these work resources. This analysis utilizes a group-randomized trial in which some units in an information technology workplace were randomly assigned to participate in an initiative, called STAR, that targeted work pra…
“But Will It Last?”: Marital Instability Among Interracial and Same‐Race Couples
The literature on interracial families has examined social stigmas attached to interracial relationships but has not thoroughly documented whether crossing racial boundaries increases the risk of divorce. Using the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (Cycle VI), we compare the likelihood of divorce for interracial couples to that of same‐race couples. Comparisons across marriage cohorts reveal that, overall, interracial couples have higher rate…
Romantic Relationships among Immigrant Adolescents
We examine the importance of the family and friendship group as two crucial developmental contexts for adolescent relationship experiences. We focus particularly on immigrant adolescents who make up an increasing proportion of the youth population and who come from cultural contexts with stronger family traditions than native-born adolescents. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we model the characteristics assoc…
A Path Toward Interracial Marriage: Women's First Partners and Husbands across Racial Lines
We examine interracial marriage as a culminating event in a sequence of intimate relationships across the life course. Using data from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth, we analyze the background characteristics associated with selecting a first sex partner and first husband who differ in race/ethnicity from the respondent as well as the continuity across both outcomes. Our results show that respondents' race/ethnicity, parents' education…
Body Mass Index, Dieting, Romance, and Sexual Activity in Adolescent Girls: Relationships Over Time
Romantic relationships constitute an important, but understudied, developmental context for accommodation to pubertal change. Using a nationally representative sample of 5,487 black, white, and Hispanic adolescent females, this study examined associations among body mass index, current romantic involvement, and dieting. For each one point increase in body mass‐index (BMI), the probability of having a romantic relationship decreased by 6%. Further…
Relative Influences on Recent Changes in the First Birth Ratio in the United States
Researchers in psychology have focused a great deal of attention on the potential greater predisposition to achievement among first-born children relative to their siblings. Focusing on the United States as an example, a time series of the first birth ratio is used to show how the changing prevalence of first births relative to higher order births has altered the composition of birth cohorts, and the ratio is decomposed into four factors. Results…

Age and College Completion: A Life-History Analysis of Women Aged 15-44
A substantial proportion of students who are enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities are over age 25. A key question is whether older students are as likely to obtain degrees as are younger students. The authors examine the odds of obtaining a bachelor's degree by the age of the enrolled student. The effects of background attributes and adult role events are also examined using data on women aged 15-44 from the 1995 National Survey of Family G…
Why Have Children in the 21st Century? Biological Predisposition, Social Coercion, Rational Choice
Time spent in parenthood status among adults in the United States
Transition rates estimated from the 1987–1988 and 1992–1994 waves of the National Survey of Families and Households imply that a U.S. adult will spend approximately one third of the years from ages 20 to 69 as a parent of a dependent child. I distinguish biological from social parenthood and provide separate estimates by gender and race. White women conform most to the conventional image of a biological parent residing with an own child, whereas …
