  • Mediating Mechanisms for the Intergenerational Transmission of Constructive Parenting

    Open AccessZeng‐yin Chen, Zeng-Yin Chen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2008Cited by: 8References: 47

    Based on a prospective longitudinal panel data set that was collected at three developmental stages-early adolescence, young adulthood, and middle adulthood- this study investigates marital satisfaction and educational attainment as mediating mechanisms as well as gender's moderating effect for the intergenerational transmission of constructive parenting ( N = 1,560). The results show that perceived satisfying experiences with parents during earl…

  • School Failure in Early Adolescence and Status Attainment in Middle Adulthood

    Zeng‐yin Chen, Zeng-Yin Chen et al.ARTICLESociology of Education2003Cited by: 9

    Guided by a life-course perspective and using a longitudinal panel data set collected at three developmental stages (early adolescence, young adulthood, and middle adulthood), structural equation analyses specify how early school failure influences status attainment at midlife. The results demonstrate that years of education completed in early adulthood is not the only mediating pathway. Lower levels of mental health and higher rates of deviant b…

    Open AccessZeng‐yin Chen, Zeng-Yin ChenARTICLEPsychological Reports1999

Consistent with what was expected, the association between Individuation and lowered self-esteem was more salient among 287 Asian-American adoles…

  • Relating Aspects of Adolescent Emotional Autonomy to Academic Achievement and Deviant Behavior

    Open AccessZeng‐yin Chen, Zeng-Yin Chen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescent Research1998Cited by: 15References: 13

    Explored in this study are the multidimensional characteristics associated with adolescent emotional autonomy from parents. Previous research using the Steinberg and Silverberg measure of emotional autonomy had reported inconsistent results in predicting adolescent outcomes. This study used a structural equation model with latent constructs to differentiate the domains of emotional autonomy and specify the intervening processes. The results suppo…
