Fifty Years of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics
The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) is the world's longest running household panel survey. Since it began in 1968, it has collected data on the same families and their descendants, making it an essential part of America's data infrastructure for empirically based social science research. The PSID arose from the War on Poverty as a tool for evaluating poverty dynamics, and this year (2018) marks 50 years of data collection. Because of its lo…
Effectiveness of a Time-limited Incentive on Participation by Hard-to-reach Respondents in a Panel Study
We describe an experiment to provide a time-limited incentive among a random sample of 594 hard-to-reach respondents, 200 of whom were offered the incentive to complete all survey components of a study during a three-week winter holiday period. Sample members were primary caregivers of children included in the 2014 Child Development Supplement to the U.S. Panel Study of Income Dynamics. The incentive provided US$50 to caregivers who completed a 7…
The Effects of a Delayed Incentive on Response Rates, Response Mode, Data Quality, and Sample Bias in a Nationally Representative Mixed Mode Study
This article describes the results of an experiment designed to examine the impact of the use and amount of delayed unconditional incentives in a mixed mode (push to web) supplement on response rates, response mode, data quality, and sample bias. The supplement was administered to individuals who participate in the U.S. Panel Study of Income Dynamics, the longest running national household panel in the world. After 10 weeks of data collection, in…
The Effects of Respondents' Consent to Be Recorded on Interview Length and Data Quality in a National Panel Study
Recording interviews is a key feature of quality control protocols for most survey organizations. We examine the effects on interview length and data quality of a new protocol adopted by a national panel study. The protocol recorded a randomly chosen one-third of all interviews digitally, although all respondents were asked for permission to record their interview and interviewers were blind as to whether or not interviews were recorded. We find …
Response Rates in National Panel Surveys
It has been well documented that response rates to cross-sectional surveys have declined over the past few decades. It is less clear whether response rates to longitudinal surveys have experienced similar changes over time. This article examines trends in response rates in several major, national longitudinal surveys in the United States and abroad. The authors find that for most of these surveys, the wave-to-wave response rate has not declined. …
Introduction to the Special Issue on the Scientific Assessment of Biomeasures in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics
This special issue of Biodemography and Social Demography assesses the value to social science and health research of incorporating biomeasures in a social survey. The focus is on the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), an ongoing, nationally representative panel study of U.S. households. A brief description of the PSID and the features that make it a promising survey for biomeasures is provided along with an overview of each individual articl…
Assessing Daily Stress Processes in Social Surveys by Combining Stressor Exposure and Salivary Cortisol
This article presents a research method for assessing stress and mental health in ongoing population-based social surveys that combines self-reports of naturally occurring daily stressors with a primary marker of stress physiology, salivary cortisol. We first discuss the relevance of stress processes to mental health and introduce a model for examining daily stress processes, which highlights multiple components of daily stressor exposure. A prim…
Psychosocial Moderators of Emotional Reactivity to Marital Arguments
Several studies document that marital arguments negatively affect mental health. Yet it is also evident that considerable variability exists in emotional reactivity to marital arguments. One such piece of evidence is that wives are more emotionally reactive than are husbands. Using a close relationships perspective, this study explores reasons for this variability by identifying psychosocial characteristics of individuals and their marriages. The…

Job Leaves and the Limits of the Family and Medical Leave Act
This article examines the need for and use of leaves designated by the Family and Medical Leave Act. Using national data, we show that women, parents, those with little income, and African Americans are particularly likely to perceive a need for job leaves. However, it is married-not single-women and Whites who are particularly likely to take such leaves. The authors suggest that this disjunction between need and use is a consequence of the const…
Methodological studies of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) in the US national comorbidity survey (NCS)
This paper reports the results of methodological studies carried out in conjunction with the US National Comorbidity Survey (NCS) to evaluate Version 1.0 of the World Health Organization (WHO) Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). These studies relied on recent survey data collection methodology literature to investigate problems regarding question comprehension, instruction comprehension, respondent motivation to report accurately…
The Effects of Marital Disagreement Style, Frequency, and Outcome on Marital Disruption
Studies of the relationship between marital conflict behaviors and marital functioning have focused almost exclusively on conflict resolution styles to the neglect of other components of marital conflict. The present study takes a first step toward addressing this limitation by examining the comparative and interactive effects of marital disagreement style, frequency and outcome on the occurrence of marital disruption (separation or divorce) over…
The Frequency and Determinants of Marital Disagreements in a Community Sample
Although information about marital disagreements is included in most scales of marital quality, disagreements have generally not been studied as outcomes of importance in their own right. This is unfortunate in light of recent research documenting that marital disagreements have a powerful effect on mental health over and above the effects of marital quality. In this report, we describe a prospective analysis of the frequency and determinants of …
Chronic stress, acute stress, and depressive symptoms
Although life events continue to be the major focus of stress research, recent studies suggest that chronic stress should be a more central focus. An evaluation of this issue is presented using data from a large community survey of married men (n = 819) and women (n = 936). Results show that chronic stresses are more strongly related to depressive symptoms than acute stresses in all but one life domain. The interaction patterns exhibited by chron…
