Sibling disclosure and adolescents’ coping from before to during the Covid-19 pandemic: A longitudinal study
The extraordinary disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic created a unique context to investigate the links between family communication and adolescent adjustment. Given that widespread stay-at-home orders increased time spent in the family setting, the present study examined reciprocal links between older and younger adolescent siblings' disclosure toward each other and concurrent and prospective links between those disclosures and the…
Combined nutrition and psychosocial stimulation intervention for child development in rural China: The Role of Parental Resources
Early childhood interventions played a critical role in improving child development in impoverished contexts. Combined nutrition and psychosocial stimulation interventions (CNPSI) have shown more benefits than stand-alone supplemental nutrition interventions (SNI) in many developing countries. Based on a cluster randomized controlled trial in rural northwestern China, this study tested alternative theory-driven hypotheses regarding how primary ca…
Direct and indirect effects of maternal and sibling intimacy on adolescents' volunteering via social responsibility values: A longitudinal study
This study investigates the direct and indirect effects of maternal and sibling relational intimacy on adolescents' volunteering behaviors via their social responsibility values. Participants included two adolescents (50% female; M age = 1 year) and one parent (85% female; M age = 45 years) from 682 families ( N = 2046) from an ongoing longitudinal study. Adolescents self-reported their intimacy with mothers and siblings (Time 1), social responsi…
Do Early-Life Social, Behavioral, and Health Exposures Increase Later-Life Arthritis Incidence
Objectives: This study investigates direct and indirect influences of childhood social, behavioral, and health exposures on later-life osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis development. Methods: Drawing from cumulative inequality theory and six waves of the Health and Retirement Study (2004–2014), we estimate structural equation modeling-based discrete-time survival analysis of the association between six childhood exposure domains and both ost…

Parent Work‐to‐Family Conflict and Child Psychological Well‐Being: Moderating Role of Grandparent Coresidence
Objective This study examines how grandparental coresidence influences the daily crossover of parent work‐to‐family conflict (WTFC) to child psychological well‐being. Background A small but growing literature reports high levels of daily fluctuations in WTFC and its health implications for individuals, but little is known about the intergenerational crossover of WTFC in the context of multigenerational living. Method Using propensity score method…
Changes in family chaos and family relationships during the Covid-19 pandemic: Evidence from a longitudinal study
The purpose of this article was to explore how family chaos, parenting processes, parent-child relationship qualities, and sibling relationship qualities changed before versus the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants included one parent and two adolescent-aged children from 682 families (2,046 participants). Parents and youth participating in an ongoing longitudinal study in five Midwestern states in the United States completed an …
Evaluating the Cumulative Impact of Childhood Misfortune: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach
Most studies of the early origins of adult health rely on summing dichotomously measured negative exposures to measure childhood misfortune (CM), neglect, adversity, or trauma. There are several limitations to this approach, including that it assumes each exposure carries the same level of risk for a particular outcome. Further, it often leads researchers to dichotomize continuous measures for the sake of creating an additive variable from simila…
Using Predictions and Marginal Effects to Compare Groups in Regression Models for Binary Outcomes
Methods for group comparisons using predicted probabilities and marginal effects on probabilities are developed for regression models for binary outcomes. Unlike approaches based on the comparison of regression coefficients across groups, the methods we propose are unaffected by the scalar identification of the coefficients and are expressed in the natural metric of the outcome probability. While we develop our approach using binary logit with tw…
Early Origins of Body Mass in Later Life: Examining Childhood Risks and Adult Pathways
Prior research reveals that negative early-life experiences play a major role in the development of obesity in later life, but few studies identify mechanisms that alter the lifetime risk of obesity. This study examines the influence of negative childhood experiences on body mass index (BMI) and obesity (BMI ≥30) during older adulthood and the psychosocial and behavioral pathways involved. Using a nationally representative sample, we examine the …
The Right Fit? Classroom Mismatch in Middle School and Its Inconsistent Effect on Student Learning
Research on college admissions shows that all students tend to benefit from overmatching, but high-status students are most likely to be overmatched, and low-status students are most likely to be undermatched. This study examines whether mismatching takes place when students are sorted into classrooms in middle school. Given prior research on effectively maintained inequality, we theorize that classroom sorting acts as an opportunity for privileg…
Race/Ethnicity and Traumatic Brain Injury: Are There Disparities in Positive Screenings and Diagnoses Among Service Members Returning From Afghanistan and Iraq
The authors examine racial/ethnic differences in screening positive for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and in diagnosis among service members upon returning from war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Using data from the Post-Deployment Health Assessment and Re-Assessment, and military health-care encounters from 2008 to 2009, they estimate logistic regressions in a sample of 46,488 service members. Hispanic and Asian service members do not differ from White…
Perceived Discrimination, Screen Use, and BMI Among Rural-to-Urban Migrant Children in China: Evidence from a Nutrition Transition Context
Avoiding the Major Causes of Death: Does Childhood Misfortune Reduce the Likelihood of Being Disease Free in Later Life
Consistent with cumulative inequality theory, these findings reveal that experiencing multiple types of misfortune during childhood decreases the likelihood of remaining disease free in later life, but engaging in health behaviors, such as physical activity, can help to ameliorate some of the noxious effects of early misfortune

Market Transition, Social Stratification, and Health Disparities in China: Longitudinal Analysis 1991 to 2006
Although a large body of literature has documented that China’s market transition from state socialism led to substantial changes in the social stratification order, little is known about the transition’s implications for health disparities. Integrating the fundamental cause perspective with market transition theory, this article examines the changing association of education and cadre status with self-rated health during the market transition, 1…
The Impact of Deployment on Parental, Family and Child Adjustment in Military Families
Early Origins of Adult Cancer Risk Among Men and Women: Influence of Childhood Misfortune
These findings underscore the importance of examining multiple domains of misfortune because the type and amount of misfortune influence cancer risk in different ways
Childhood Misfortune and Handgrip Strength Among Black, White, and Hispanic Americans
The relationship between childhood exposures and adult HGS varied by the type of misfortune, but there was no evidence that the relationship varied by race/ethnicity. The significant and enduring Hispanic disadvantage in HGS warrants greater attention in gerontology
Accumulation of Risk and Promotive Factors Among Young Children in US Military Families
In the families of the new cohort of war veterans now entering the civilian population in the United States are over two million young children (Cozza, Haskins & Lerner, 2013; Institute of Medicine, 2013). Several noteworthy studies have shown that children exposed to separation from a parent due to combat‐related deployment are at elevated risk for a variety of negative consequences (Lester & Flake, 2013). Cozza et al. (2013) argue that existing…

Recent development of propensity score methods in observational studies: Multi-categorical treatment, causal mediation, and heterogeneity
This article reviews and comments on three major expansions of propensity score methods in recent decades. First, how to use generalized propensity scores to tackle multi-categorical or continuous treatment variables is shown in procedures of propensity score regression adjustment and propensity score weighting. Second, the counterfactual framework of causal inference in the analysis of mediation mechanisms is reviewed and the decomposition of th…
Auxiliary Variables in Multiple Imputation When Data Are Missing Not at Random
Most current implementations of multiple imputation (MI) assume that data are missing at random (MAR), but this assumption is generally untestable. We performed analyses to test the effects of auxiliary variables on MI when the data are missing not at random (MNAR) using simulated data and real data. In the analyses we varied (a) the correlation, (b) the level of missing data, (c) the pattern of missing data, and (d) sample size. Results showed t…

Children of Misfortune: Early Adversity and Cumulative Inequality in Perceived Life Trajectories
Adversity early in life may alter pathways of aging, but what interpretive processes can soften the blow of early insults? Drawing from cumulative inequality theory, the authors analyze trajectories of life evaluations and then consider whether early adversity offsets favorable expectations for the future. Results reveal that early adversity contributes to more negative views of the past but rising expectations for the future. Early adversity als…
Legacy Volunteering: A Test of Two Theories of Intergenerational Transmission
Sociological theory suggests two reasons that volunteering runs in families. The first is that parents act as role models. The second is that parents who volunteer pass on the socioeconomic resources needed to do volunteer work. Panel data from two generations of women (N = 1,848) are analyzed to see how much influence family socioeconomic status and mother's volunteering have on daughter's volunteer careers. More highly educated women and women …
I Am Woman: The Impact of Social Identities on African American Women's Mental Health
We examine the psychological impact of a range of social identities among a sample of African American women. Using data from the National Survey of Black Americans (NSBA), we find that measures of body image, role performance, discrimination, and social class position are related to mental health status. Women of lower social class standing are especially at risk for poor mental health outcomes. Having low educational attainment, low personal in…

Parental Depression and Child Outcomes: The Mediating Effects of Abuse and Neglect
Using longitudinal data on 1,813 children and parents from a nationally representative child-welfare sample, National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW), this study investigated physically abusive and neglectful parenting as mediating the effects of parent depression on child mental health by developmental stage. Findings from latent growth models indicated that parental depression had a significant impact on child outcomes for all…
Age and the Tenses of Life Satisfaction
We find several notable differences between men and women, but the most telling differences emerge among women themselves across chronological time. For women, partner satisfaction becomes considerably more important across the age groups, whereas sex, contribution to others, and relationships with children all decrease in their importance for overall life satisfaction

Trajectories of Body Mass and Self-Concept in Black and White Girls: The Lingering Effects of Stigma
As a stigmatizing condition, obesity may lead to the internalization of devalued labels and threats to self-concept. Modified labeling theory suggests that the effects of stigma may outlive direct manifestations of the discredited characteristic itself. This article considers whether obesity's effects on self-concept linger when obese youth enter the normal body mass range. Using longitudinal data from the National Growth and Health Study on 2,20…

Modeling Longitudinal Count Data: Testing for Group Differences in Growth Trajectories Using Average Marginal Effects
To test for group differences in growth trajectories in mixed (fixed and random effects) models, researchers frequently interpret the coefficient of Group-by-Time product terms. While this practice is straightforward in linear mixed models, it is less so in generalized linear mixed models. Using both an empirical example and synthetic data, we show that the coefficient of Group-by-Time product terms in a specific class of mixed models-mixed Poiss…

Obesity, Labeling, and Psychological Distress in Late-Childhood and Adolescent Black and White Girls: The Distal Effects of Stigma
The stigma of childhood obesity has the potential to affect psychological development during the early life course, but few studies examine whether experiencing stigma in childhood and adolescence has lasting ramifications for mental health during the transition to adulthood. Integrating modified labeling theory with a life course perspective, this study examined how obesity at different ages affects psychological distress in late adolescence usi…

Predictors of Entry into Age-Discordant Relationships Among Adolescent Girls
Teenage girls in age-discordant relationships remain of concern for healthy development and well-being. We examine whether factors from several sociological frameworks—self-esteem, deviance, social ecology, family cohesion, and religious involvement—predict entry into such relationships. With longitudinal data on 1,537 adolescent girls, we use structural equation modeling to assess risk and protective factors by age group. Results indicate that f…
