Coping at the Onset of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Paternal Incarceration, Race and Ethnicity, and Maternal Health
Romantic Relationships, Parenthood, and the Personal Sense of Mastery
Solidifying a strong personal sense of mastery or control over life is a key developmental task in young adulthood. We investigate the extent to which intimate relationship status (i.e., marriage, cohabitation, monogamous dating, and singlehood) and parenthood simultaneously shape mastery for a longitudinal sample of 18- to 34-year-olds. We further investigate whether age qualifies the effects of relationship-parenthood status on the sense of mas…
Romantic Relationships and Depressive Symptoms among Young Women
Romantic partnership is associated with fewer depressive symptoms; however, it is unclear whether this association varies by age among young women. The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979–Young Adult Sample (N = 2,403) was used to compare depressive symptoms among partnered – married, cohabiting, or dating – and unpartnered women (ages 18–29). Multilevel regression results show that differences in depression symptoms between partnered stat…
Understanding How Race, Ethnicity, and Gender Shape Mask-Wearing Adherence During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Trajectories of Covid-19 vaccine intentions among U.S. adults
Research examining whether intentions to get a COVID-19 vaccine change over time is scarce. Moreover, the deep and pervasive history of medical racism in the U.S. has created a context in which some racial and ethnic groups exhibit greater levels of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy; yet few researchers have attempted to determine whether these patterns persist with time. The purpose of this study was twofold: (a.) assess the role of time in COVID-19 va…
Psychological distress across intersections of race/ethnicity, gender, and marital status during the Covid-19 pandemic
The findings of this study show that White women were especially vulnerable to psychological distress at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, despite marriage being a health-promoting status, it is only among the married that Black women reported greater distress than other groups. Married Black women and White women generally need psychological health resources as they are perhaps overtaxed in meeting the demands of family, such as t…
Dimensions of acculturation and biological dysregulation among Latina/os
Objective: Research examining how different dimensions of acculturative beliefs and behaviors influence the risk of biological dysregulation among Latina/os is limited. This study examined associations between three types of acculturation and allostatic load (i.e. a multisystem index of biological dysregulation) across gender and Latina/o ethnic groups. Multiplicative models were also included in order to determine whether immigrant generation mo…
The Role of Perceived Racial Discrimination in the Marriage Gap Between Black and White People
Many explanations offered for the gap in marriage rates between Black and White people are economic and cultural. Less often considered are how racial social psychological factors influence marriage rates. In this study, we use critical race theory and the life course perspective to investigate how perceived racial discrimination impacts the likelihood of marriage for Black and White people. Data for the study are taken from the Portraits of Amer…
The Supreme Court as an Arena for Activism
Beginning in the 1960s, U.S. feminist movement litigators organized public-interest legal organizations to promote women’s rights through legal mobilization in the courts. We investigate all U.S. Supreme Court decisions involving gender equality from 1965 to 2016 to discern the impact of involvement of these feminist movement litigation groups as legal counsel. Our findings show that organized feminist cause lawyers increase the likelihood of dec…
Covid-19 and the 24/7 News Cycle
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has upended nearly every aspect of social life in the United States and abroad. People turn to news to provide public health updates about the virus, such as reports of new cases and deaths, but also to understand how COVID-19 is affecting jobs and the economy. The news, irrespective of its format, serves as a central conduit of information during the pandemic. Prior research examining public traum…
Educational Attainment in Young Adulthood, Depressive Symptoms, and Race-ethnicity
Utilizing four parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, uninvolved, and permissive) and two types of educational achievement (years of education completed and completion of a college degree), we investigated whether mental health (i.e., depressive symptoms) mediates the relationship between parenting styles in adolescence and the educational attainment of young adults. We further assessed whether the relationships among parenting styles an…
Legal Mobilization and Analogical Legal Framing
We investigate how cause lawyers articulate their demands in court. We do so by examining feminist legal briefs submitted in US Supreme Court cases from 1970 to the present, specifically focusing on the use of race–gender analogical legal framing. We explore the frequency and trends in the use of such arguments as well as the forms these arguments take, including how race–gender analogies parallel frame bridging and transformation. Additionally, …
