Perceptions of Successful Aging among Older Latinos, in Cross-Cultural Context
Characteristics of Women With Children Who Divorce in Midlife Compared to Those Who Remain Married
This study evaluated characteristics that distinguish women who end a first marriage in midlife from those who remain married. The sample consisted of 459 married and 180 divorced women who had participated in 3 waves of the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH). Discriminant analyses were used to assess differences that occurred between the two groups in financial and psychological well-being in the 10 years between NSFH Waves 2 and …
Differences in Resources Provided by Grandparents in Single and Married Parent Families
Relationship quality, social contact, and support provided by grandparents to single and married parents were examined using data from the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH). Contributions from the respondents' own parents, parents-in-law, and step-parents were examined using ANOVA and chi-square analyses. In general, respondents reported stronger ties with parents than in-laws, and with female rather than male relatives. Custodial…
An Integrative Approach to Teaching Family Resource Management
Family resource management is one of ten substance areas that are required for certification in family life education (National Council on Family Relations, 2005). Unfortunately, few discipline-specific resources are available for faculty assigned to teach the family resource management course. A rich tradition of theory and practice in the field has stalled, with little conceptual development since the 1980s to guide faculty teaching the course.…
Preliminary Validation of the Work-Family Integration-Blurring Scale
Several studies of telecommuting and working at home have alluded to the blurring line between work and family that can result from such highly integrated work-family arrangements. However, little is known about working parents' perceptions of the integration and blurring of their work and family roles. In this study, the authors created and validated the Work-Family Integration-Blurring Scale using a national sample of business professors raisin…
Patterns of Psychological Adjustment Among Divorced Custodial Parents
We examined the negative and positive adjustment of divorced custodial parents across several areas of functioning, including depression, hostility, alcohol use, and well-being. Differences among custodial mothers and fathers were evaluated, followed by a series of hierarchical regressions that were used to evaluate factors contributing to negative and positive outcomes for the two groups. Compared to custodial fathers, custodial mothers were sig…
Children's Behavior Problems in Single-Parent and Married-Parent Families
A model integrating prevailing perspectives on children's functioning following divorce was used to predict children's behavior problems. The data were collected from 30 custodial mothers, 30 custodial fathers, and 30 married parents with children 6 to 10 years of age, using face-to-face interviews and standardized questionnaires. Results using path analysis indicated that marital status and parental control had significant direct effects on chil…
Comparison of Role Demands, Relationships, and Child Functioning in Single-Mother, Single-Father, and Intact Families
Numerous studies have examined the impact of divorce on parents and children, but most of these studies have been restricted to single-mother families. This study compared differences in role demands, relationships, and child functioning using the responses of parents and children in 30 single-mother, 30 single-father, and 30 intact families. Single fathers had better resources than single mothers, more positive parenting than married fathers, an…
The Influence of Economic Strain, Coping with Roles, and Parental Control on the Parenting of Custodial Single Mothers and Custodial Single Fathers
The purpose of the study was to develop and test a conceptual model, based on microstructural theory, that explained how sex of parent, economic strain, role coping, and parental control combined to predict the parenting behaviors of divorced custodial mothers and fathers. The sample consisted of 30 single mothers and 30 single fathers with custody of at least one child 6 to 10 years of age. The data were collected using standardized questionnair…
Changes in Roles Following Divorce
The purpose of this study was to determine factors associated with depression in custodial single mothers and custodial single fathers. Single mothers and single fathers have different constraints placed on them, and their roles change in different ways following divorce, so it was expected that they might experience depression differently depending on their circumstances. Data for the study were collected from 626 single mothers and 100 single f…
Comparison of Parenting and Children's Behavior in Single-Mother, Single-Father, and Intact Families
The authors used ecological theory to disentangle the effects of gender, family structure, and role responsibilities on parenting and children's behavior in single-parent and intact families. Data were gathered from parents and a focal child in 30 single-mother, 30 single-father, and 30 intact families. The Parent Perception Inventory (PPI) and Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) were used to evaluate how positive and negative behaviors of parents an…
Grandparent Involvement Following Divorce
Although the value of the grandparent role has been widely documented, researchers rarely have examined the specific activities shared by grandparents and grandchildren, nor have comparisons been made of the involvement of grandparents in single-mother and single-father families. In this study, data on the involvement of grandparents with a school-aged grandchild were gathered from custodial parents in 30 single-mother and 30 single-father famili…
Gender Differences in the Performance of Household Tasks by Adults and Children in Single-Parent and Two-Parent, Two-Earner Families
This study was conducted to determine gender role differences between adults in two-parent, two-earner families; their children; and children from single-parent families in time spent on household work. Stepwise discriminant analyses were used to assess data from 47 single-parent and 47 two-parent families. Conclusions drawn from these analyses were that parents were highly sex segregated in their household task behavior, that household tasks wer…
Factors Contributing to the Mobility of Retirees
A group of retirees is studied based on the social phenomenological theory of aging. The research characterizes factors that influenced retirees’ decisions to reside in a rural retirement area offering few amenities. Differences in life satisfaction among retirees are also assessed.Responses from 274 retirees in Lake Topaz, Nevada were collected using an eight page questionnaire. The results indicate that the majority of these respondents migrate…
