Heavy Episodic Drinking in Early Adulthood
Young adults who transition to college are at particular risk of heavy episodic drinking (HED), as they consume more alcohol than their same-aged peers who do not attend college. Yet the link between college attendance and HED during young adulthood may vary depending on social class origins. Building on life course and socio-structural perspectives that suggest that status characteristics give meaning to role transitions in ways that shape young…
Racial differences in sexual activity among affluent adolescents
The experiences of black Americans vary widely depending on socioeconomic status (SES), suggesting that a monotonic view of race is inadequate when examining race differences in adolescent risk behavior. This study considers how class and race intersect as determinants of adolescent multiple sexual partnering. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (N = 3,538), the study adjudicates among three theoretical perspectiv…
Intersectionopoly
This article describes a simulation activity designed to teach students about the wage gap. The wage gap is an important topic in many sociology classrooms, but it can be difficult to convey the accumulated disadvantage experienced by women and racial/ethnic minorities to students using in-class discussions, lectures, or assigned readings alone. This is particularly true on college campuses that may draw their students from more affluent areas. C…
Adolescent Work Experiences and Family Formation Behavior
A long‐standing critique of adolescent employment is that it engenders a precocious maturity of more adult‐like roles and behaviors, including school disengagement, substance use, sexual activity, inadequate sleep and exercise, and work‐related stress. Though negative effects of high‐intensity work on adolescent adjustment have been found, little research has addressed whether such work experiences are associated with precocious family formation …
Neighborhood Structural Inequality, Collective Efficacy, and Sexual Risk Behavior among Urban Youth
We draw on collective efficacy theory to extend a contextual model of early adolescent sexual behavior. Specifically, we hypothesize that neighborhood structural disadvantage-as measured by levels of concentrated poverty, residential instability, and aspects of immigrant concentration-and diminished collective efficacy have consequences for the prevalence of early adolescent multiple sexual partnering. Findings from random effects multinomial log…
Racial Differences in Sexual and Fertility Attitudes in an Urban Setting
Using data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (neighborhood N= 77; individual N= 951), we consider the extent to which African American youth maintain sexual and fertility-related norms that support early sexual activity and childbearing and examine the robustness of racial differences in sexual attitudes to controls for neighborhood, family, and individual characteristics. At a minimum, neighborhood economic disadvant…
