Promoting the Positive Development of Boys in High‐Poverty Neighborhoods: Evidence From Four Anti‐Poverty Experiments
This study uses geocoded address data and information about parent's economic behavior and children's development from four random-assignment welfare and anti-poverty experiments conducted during the 1990s. We find that the impacts of these welfare and anti-poverty programs on boys' and girls' developmental outcomes during the transition to early adolescence differ as a function of neighborhood poverty levels. The strongest positive impacts of th…

DNA Collection in a Randomized Social Science Study of College Peer Effects
We describe the DNA collection processes of an initial pilot and full study, which is designed to investigate joint peer and genetic effects on health behaviors and attitudes in a college campus setting. In the main study, 2664 (79.5%) students completed a Web survey and 2080 (78.7% of the survey completers after adjusting for the ineligible) provided a saliva DNA sample. The response rate for completing both the survey and the DNA portion of the…
From Theory to Practice: General Trends in Foreign Language Teaching Methodology and Their Influence on Language Assessment
In the late 1970s, language‐learning theorists redefined ability in a second or foreign language, emphasizing its communicative aspects. The proficient linguist was one who could function effectively in the four skills of speaking, writing, reading comprehension, and listening comprehension in real‐life, not contrived or artificial, contexts. This new paradigm led to change in language‐teaching methodology; communicative language teaching became …

The Endogeneity Problem in Developmental Studies
Estimates of developmental models of processes involving contextual influences (e.g., child care arrangements, divorce, parenting, neighborhood location, peers) are subject to bias if, as is often the case, the contexts are influenced by the actions of ei-ther the individuals being studied or their parents or teachers. We assessed the nature of the endogeneity biases that may result, discuss the importance of such biases in practice, and suggest …
How Welfare Policies Affect Adolescents' School Outcomes: A Synthesis of Evidence From Experimental Studies
Using data from 8 random assignment studies and employing meta‐analytic techniques, this article provides systematic evidence that welfare and work policies targeted at low‐income parents have small adverse effects on some school outcomes among adolescents ages 12 to 18 years at follow‐up. These adverse effects were observed mostly for school performance outcomes and occurred in programs that required mothers to work or participate in employment‐…

Braveman and Cubbin are correct in pointing out that the optimal indicators of socioeconomic status (SES) may vary across health outcomes and health behaviors. Indeed, we alluded to this point when we noted that “various measures of SES may summarize different components of overall health risk.” We also agree that systematic evaluation of the importance of various SES measures is required before an “optimal” set can be recommended. That said, we …
Relationship Between All-Cause Mortality and Cumulative Working Life Course Psychosocial and Physical Exposures in the United States Labor Market From 1968 to 1992
OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between cumulative exposures to psychosocial and physical work conditions and mortality in a nationally representative sample. METHODS: A working cohort was created using the U.S. Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Information on psychosocial and physical work conditions were imputed using the Job Characteristics Scoring System exposure matrix for the period 1968 through 1991 to construct working life courses. …
