Measuring Collective Efficacy Among Children in Community‐based Afterschool Programs
Collective efficacy refers to a perceived sense of connectedness and willingness to intervene among youth, and is a potential aspect of positive youth development (Larson in Am Psychol 55:170–183, 2000 ; Lerner et al. in Child Dev 71:11–20, 2000 ; Sampson et al. in Science 277:918–924, 1997 ). Theoretically, those who feel connected to a group that is empowered to positively influence the behavior of their peers may demonstrate fewer problem beha…
Examining Youth and Program Predictors of Engagement in Out-of-School Time Programs
The Quality of Male Fertility Data in Major U.S. Surveys
Researchers continue to question fathers’ willingness to report their biological children in surveys and the ability of surveys to adequately represent fathers. To address these concerns, this study evaluates the quality of men’s fertility data in the 1979 and 1997 cohorts of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79 and NLSY97) and in the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG). Comparing fertility rates in each survey with populati…
Self-care among school-aged children of immigrants
Piloting a classroom‐based intervention in after‐school programmes
Policy-makers are looking to after-school programs to improve family and child well-being and are searching for evidence-based ways to improve the quality of after-school programs. This study examines whether the Good Behavior Game, a behavior management curriculum designed for school classrooms, can be easily migrated to academically-focused after-school programs. Our results are based on program observations, qualitative interviews, and ratings…
State Welfare Policies and Children’s Living Arrangements
Changes in welfare legislation throughout the 1990s attempted, among other things, to promote marriage and decrease single parenthood. However, little research considers how such policies influence children’s living arrangements. This article uses data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation to relate welfare reform policies to the likelihood that children live in one of three living arrangements: with married parents, with a single p…
The ups and downs of child care
The transition to early fatherhood
This study provides systematic information about the prevalence of early male fertility and the relationship between family background characteristics and early parenthood across three widely used data sources: the 1979 and 1997 National Longitudinal S
Children in no-parent households
Welfare reform and child well-being
Transitions to Parenthood
Can work-family policies promote greater gender equity in family roles? Using interviews with couples from upstate New York, we examine the role of work-family policies in the decisions dual-earner married couples make about paid work during the transition to parenthood. During the period immediately around a birth, differences in mothers' and fathers' access to paid time off from work interacted with their parenting role ideologies to influence …
Women's employment patterns during early parenthood
Research on women's employment and parenthood frequently focuses on the correlates and consequences of decisions at a particular time, such as a birth. This article applies a group-based trajectory method to examine women's employment trajectories across the period of early parenthood using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (N= 2,093). We find that throughout early parenthood, women exhibit significant movement into and out of the la…
