Variations in Family Structure and School-Age Children's Academic Achievement
Data from the nationally representative Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey, Kindergarten Class of 1998–1999 (ECLS–K) involving more than 300 children who continuously resided in different variations of families from kindergarten through fifth grade were used to test the usefulness of social capital theory for understanding the academic improvement of school-age children over two points in time. Social capital theory was found to be a useful fram…
The Usefulness of Social Capital Theory for Understanding the Academic Improvement of Young Children in Stepfamilies Over Two Points in Time
Data from the nationally representative Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey, Kindergarten Class of 1998–1999 (ECLS–K) involving more than 300 children residing in stepfamilies from kindergarten through 5th grade were used to test the usefulness of social capital theory for understanding the academic improvement of young children over 2 points in time. For change scores in reading, the model explained 34% of the variance and for math, 33% of the v…
Relations among Parental Divorce, Identity Status, and Coping Strategies of College Age Women
Relations among parental divorce, identity status, and coping strategies were examined in a sample of emerging adult women. Two hundred forty college age women between the ages of 18 and 23 were asked to report whether they had experienced parental divorce and were administered the Coping Strategies Inventory and the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status-II. Correlational analyses indicated that identity diffusion in the interpersonal…

Ego Identity Status, Identity Style, and Personal Expressiveness
This study represents an investigation of relationships among three sets of identity constructs, including the ego identity statuses, the identity styles, and personal expressiveness. The Ego Identity Process Questionnaire was used to assess identity status as conceptualized by J. E. Marcia. The Identity Style Inventory was used to assess identity style as conceptualized by M. D. Berzonsky. The Personally Expressive Activities Questionnaire was u…
Intergenerational Perceptions of Attachment and Prosocial Behavior
Intergenerational differences in perceptions of attachment, prosocial behavior, and social support were examined from an ecological perspective. One hundred seventeen family triads made up of female adolescents, their mothers, and maternal grandmothers served as the sample for this study. Perceptions of maternal attachment were greater for adolescents than mothers and greater for grandmothers than mothers. Mothers reported greater prosocial behav…

Relational Perceptions in Mother-Daughter Attachments
Two-hundred-twenty-one matched pairs of post-adolescent females (Mean age = 20.2) and their mothers (Mean age = 46.5) participated in a study to examine the relational perceptions of mother-daughter attachments by evaluating their perceptions of reported autonomy, intimacy, conflict, self-esteem and quality of relationship. Results indicated that mothers and daughters differed significantly on one measure of autonomy (Family of Origin Scale) and …
Vocational Interests of Adolescents
The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among scores on vocational interests, self-esteem, and locus of control for high school students. Grade and sex differences were also examined. 1364 high school students ranging in age from 14 to 19 years of age were administered the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory, Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale for Children, and the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory. High school students with …
Relationships between Academic Comfort and Career Interests among Rural High School Students
Relationships between Academic Comfort and General Occupational Themes of the 1985 Strong Campbell Interest Inventory were investigated for 1364 high school adolescents.

Academic Comfort scores of adolescents increased with higher grades and girls had higher Academic Comfort scores than the boys at ail grades. The results sup…
Identity Strivings within the Mother-Daughter Relationship
The purpose of this study was to examine mother-daughter relationships and their individual perceptions of autonomy, intimacy, conflict, and quality of relationship. For 221 matched pairs of postadolescent females and their mothers, scores on autonomy were explored in relation to ratings of intimacy, conflict, and quality of relationship. Multiple regression analysis for daughters yielded two significant predictor variables for quality of relatio…
Gender-Role Orientation of Adolescent Females
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of gender-role orientation on self-esteem and locus of control of female adolescents. A total of 87 junior high school females and 48 senior high school females completed the Bem Sex-Role Inventory, the Texas Social Behavior Inventory, and the Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale for Children. Gender-role orientation was related to self-esteem but not to locus of control. Adolescents class…
Bidirectional Influence between Parent and Child
The purpose of this study was to determine whether children eventually achieve the competency to monitor their own task performances (i.e., memory monitoring) by way of prior social interactions with parents (i.e., other- to self-regulation). It was hypothesized that, if cognitive abilities, such as memory monitoring, are internalized via social interactions with parents, then children who are able to gauge their task performance cognitively shou…
Examining Metamemory within the Context of Parent-Child Interactions
The production of memory-monitoring behaviors was investigated on two occasions, 1 yr. apart, for 9- and 10-yr.-old children and their parents. A structured block-design task was used to elicit verbal and nonverbal problem-solving strategies from children and their parents during dyadic interactions. Based on Vygotsky's zone of proximal development, it was proposed that children acquire more sophisticated cognitive skills through social interacti…
Intergenerational Transfer of Normative Parental Attitudes
The parenting and child-rearing attitudes of 97 female college students along with their parents were assessed using the Adult Adolescent Parenting Inventory. Analysis showed a generational effect for empathic awareness of children's needs between mother and daughter. Other cross-sex and demographic effects were discussed
Ethnic Differences in the Imaginary Audience
Elkind and Bowen's study was used as a basis for examining ethnic differences in the Imaginary Audience Scale (IAS) and its two subscales, the Abiding Self (AS) and the Transient Self (TS). Eighty-five Sioux and 100 Caucasian adolescents in the 7th, 8th, 11th, and 12th grades were administered the IAS. Some of Elkind and Bowen's findings were replicated. Ethnic differences were found in correlations between the IAS and measures of self-concept. N…
An Analysis of the Imaginary Audience Scale
Tests of reliability and construct validity of the Imaginary Audience Scale (IAS) and its two sub-scales, the Abiding Self (AS) and the Transient Self (TS), were carried out with a sample of 185 adolescents. Results were compared with those of Elkind and Bowen who developed the IAS, TS and AS Scales. Alpha coefficients and item-total correlations were similar to those reported by Elkind and Bowen. In addition, two factors were found for the AS co…
