Toward a Citizen Social Science Training Model
We document our experience developing and implementing qualitative and quantitative research methods trainings for community members using a collaborative, community-connected approach. Drawing on citizen social science, this project aims to democratize social scientific knowledge and equip community members to apply analytic techniques to questions in their communities. We build on existing work by developing an open access model that can be ada…
Is Study Abroad Still a Privilege? Exploring the Inequality Gap between Intentions and Study Abroad at a Public Midwestern University in the U.S
Although more students study abroad today than in decades prior, participation still lags behind national goals put forth by the Lincoln Commission. Many students plan to study abroad, yet this often does not correspond with actual participation. This gap suggests there are barriers that prevent study abroad intentions from evolving into program enrollment. This study analyzes full population data and a NSSE (National Survey of Student Engagement…
Adult Children’s Marital Timing and Upward Intergenerational Financial Transfers
Marriage is a key adult milestone yet is also considered a greedy institution that monopolizes resources, jeopardizing adult children’s financial transfers to aging parents. As the age at which marriage shifts later into adulthood, this study examines whether marriage still operates as a greedy institution, considering the role of marital timing on upward financial transfers to aging parents. Using data from Waves I–V of Add Health and Wave I of …
Mother–Child Closeness and Adult Children’s Time and Financial Assistance
Mother-child closeness is a continuously evolving process. Although mother-child bond formed during adolescence has no direct influence on help to mothers later in life, it shapes the progression of mother-child interactions over time that eventuates in support
Children’s Transitions to Adulthood and Midlife Parents’ Depressive Symptoms and Activities of Daily Living Conditions in the United States
Our findings reveal that adult children's circumstances are associated with the mental and physical health of their midlife parents
The Roles of Marital Dissolution and Subsequent Repartnering on Loneliness in Later Life
Later-life marital dissolutions increasingly occur through divorce rather than spousal death. Some older adults go on to form new partnerships. Our findings demonstrate the importance of gerontological research widening the lens beyond widowhood to consider the ramifications of later-life divorce and repartnership for well-being
Repartnering Following Gray Divorce
The doubling of the gray divorce rate (i.e., divorce at age 50 or older) over the past few decades portends growth in later-life repartnering, yet little is known about the mechanisms undergirding decisions to repartner after gray divorce. Using data from the 1998–2014 Health and Retirement Study, we examined women’s and men’s likelihoods of forming a remarriage or cohabiting union following gray divorce by estimating competing risk multinomial l…

Depressive Symptoms Following Later-life Marital Dissolution and Subsequent Repartnering
The doubling of the divorce rate among individuals over age 50 during the past 20 years underscores the urgency of studying the consequences of gray divorce and subsequent repartnering for adult well-being. We filled this gap by using the 1998-to-2014 Health and Retirement Study to evaluate how the levels of depressive symptoms changed following gray divorce versus widowhood. Individuals who divorced or became widowed already had experienced high…
Later Life Marital Dissolution and Repartnership Status
Later life marital dissolution increasingly occurs through divorce rather than widowhood, and divorce is more often followed by repartnership. The results from this study suggest that gerontological research should not solely focus on widowhood but also should pay attention to divorce and repartnering during later life
Evaluative and Experienced Well-being of Caregivers of Parents and Caregivers of Children
Experienced well-being appears to be more sensitive than evaluative well-being in detecting differences in well-being between these two types of caregivers. Given that the caregivers of parents do not receive the same level of institutional support as caregivers of children, social policies should aim to provide caregivers of parents with additional support
Antecedents of Gray Divorce
Gray divorce is especially likely to occur among couples who are socially and economically disadvantaged, raising new questions about the consequences of gray divorce for individual health and well-being
