Household Income by Nativity Status and Race/Ethnicity Across Metropolitan and Regional Contexts
A Profile of Current Trends in Family Mobility in Florida: 2023
This paper is divided into three parts. First, we analyze data from the 2016-2020 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau to assess the demographic structure of Florida families. We find differences between Florida and other parts of the United States. These differences are the result of trends and patterns in migration to, from and within the state. Second, we examine the role that disasters in general and hurricanes in par…
College Students and “Interracial” Relationships: How Our Measures Matter
We use data from a random sample of students collected at two large public universities, one in the Midwestern region and one in the Southeastern region of the U.S., to document the prevalence of self-reported “interracial” romantic relationships (SR-IRRs) and the extent to which self-identifications differ from researcher-defined categorizations that label as “interracial/interethnic” all partnerships that cross racial or Latino/Hispanic ethnic …
It Is Your Decision to Date Interracially: The Influence of Family Approval on the Likelihood of Interracial/Interethnic Dating
Although attitudes toward interracial romantic relationships (IRRs) have generally improved over the years, many Americans still disapprove of their family members being in IRRs. Prior studies have examined correlates of individual-level attitudes about interracial romance, but less is known about whether family members' attitudes are directly associated with young people's decisions to date interracially. Using data collected from 790 romantical…
Timing of First Sexual Experience with a Same-Sex Partner: A Life Course Approach
Sexual and Romantic Relationships in Young Adulthood
Sociological research has long recognized the important role that intimate relationships play in young people's lives. In recent decades, relationship formation patterns and relationship trajectories during the early years of adulthood have become increasingly diverse and complex. In recognition of this, we review contemporary research on sexual and romantic relationships among young adults in the United States, noting how relationship attitudes,…
Binge Drinking in Young Adulthood: The Influence of Age at First Intercourse and Rate of Sex Partner Accumulation
Timing of Sexual Initiation and Relationship Satisfaction in Young Adult Marital and Cohabiting Unions
Using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, this research examines the association between timing of oral sex initiation and marital and cohabiting relationship satisfaction among young adults. Findings indicate that women who transition to oral sex 'late' or who have no oral sex experience report higher levels of relationship satisfaction in their current coresidential unions than do women who transition at a 'normative'…
The role of family relationships in the psychological wellbeing of interracially dating adolescents
Demographic Characteristics of Lesbian Parents in the United States
Childhood Family Structure and Romantic Relationships During the Transition to Adulthood
We use the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) to examine whether childhood family structure experiences influence the development of romantic relationships during adolescence and whether adolescent relationships, in turn, help to shape long-term relationship trajectories. Young people who live in 'nontraditional' families during their childhood are more likely than their peers to engage in romantic relationships during …
Sexual Orientation and Substance Use Among Adolescents and Young Adults
Objectives. We examined interrelationships among the 3 dimensions of sexual orientation—self-identity, sexual attraction, and sexual experience—and their associations with substance use among adolescents and young adults. Methods. To estimate total and net associations of sexual identity, attraction, and experience with use of tobacco, drugs, and alcohol, we applied logistic regression to cross-sectional data from the National Survey of Family Gr…
Patterns and Correlates of Same‐Sex Sexual Activity Among U.S. Teenagers and Young Adults
A significant proportion of "straight" youth engage in same-sex activity, and so information on risks associated with such behavior should be included in sex education programs and targeted to all youth
Adolescent girls' race/ethnic status, identities, and drive for thinness
Protective Influences on the Negative Consequences of Drinking Among Youth
The prevention of underage drinking and related outcomes focuses on strengthening protective factors. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health ( N = 3,862), the authors examine the effects of protective factors from three domains of adolescents' lives (individual, familial, and extrafamilial) on experiencing negative consequences of alcohol use, while controlling for relevant risk factors, among youth who have already …
Risky Sexual Behaviors Among Hispanic Young Adults In South Florida: Nativity, Age at Immigration And Gender Differences
Given the diversity of nativity and immigration histories among Hispanics in the United States, it is important that research examine both factors. An understanding of their joint association with sexual activity, plus the conditioning effects of gender, could help professionals to develop effective education and prevention programs for young people who are at risk for engaging in potentially dangerous sexual behavior
Nativity Status and Depressive Symptoms Among Hispanic Young Adults: The Role of Stress Exposure
Objective. This article documents nativity differentials in depressive symptoms among Hispanics during their initial years of adulthood and explores how ethnicity, sociodemographic characteristics, and exposure to stressful life events and changes in social roles help explain those differentials. Methods. Data are drawn from a large‐scale two‐wave community study of stress, psychiatric well‐being, and substance use disorders among young adults. O…
Family Structure Outcomes of Alternative Family Definitions
Post-secondary Educational Attainment of Immigrant and Native Youth
We examine immigrant generation differences in college attendance and college type among youth ages 18 through 26 who have graduated from a U.S. high school. Results indicate that first-and second-generation immigrants are significantly more likely to attend college than their third-plus generation counterparts of similar race/ethnicity, socioeconomic and family background characteristics. While parental behaviors and expectations for college att…
Coresident Sibling Composition and the Academic Ability, Expectations, and Performance of Youth
This study examines the effects of living with 'nontraditional' siblings (i.e., step- and/or half-siblings) on the verbal ability scores, grade point averages (GPAs), and college expectations of adolescents and whether sibling composition effects are moderated by family structure. On average, youth who live with step- or half-siblings report significantly poorer outcomes than youth who do not. The sibling composition effects on verbal ability sco…
Non-traditional' siblings and the academic outcomes of adolescents
Family Structure Pathways and Academic Disadvantage among Adolescents in Stepfamilies
Using National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) data, this research documents the prevalence of the different stepfamily forms in which American adolescents live, examines the family structure pathways through which adolescents traveled to arrive at their current family form, and explores the effects of these pathways on grades, school-related behavior, and college expectations (N = 13,988). Compared to those who have always l…
