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…
Neighborhood Disadvantage and Poor Health
The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between neighborhood disadvantage and poor self-rated health for a nationally representative sample of Blacks and Whites in young adulthood, 18 to 30 years old. Data were from 16 waves (1997-2013) of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 cohort ( N = 6820 individuals; observations = 58,901). Utilizing the stress process model and generalized estimating equations to account for th…
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…
Self-Rated Health, Discrimination, and Racial Group Identity
Do Religious Struggles Mediate the Association between Day-to-Day Discrimination and Depressive Symptoms
Although numerous studies have shown that discrimination contributes to poorer mental health, the precise mechanisms underlying this association are not well understood. In this paper, we consider the possibility that the association between day-to-day discrimination (being disrespected, insulted, and harassed) and depressive symptoms is partially mediated by religious struggles (religious doubts and negative religious coping). To test our mediat…
Mastery, Homeownership, and Adult Roles During the Transition to Adulthood
We investigate the relationship between homeownership and personal sense of mastery in the transition to adulthood and examine whether three important adult transitions (employment, marriage/cohabitation, and parenthood) moderate the impact of homeownership on mastery. Utilizing the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-Young Adult Sample (N = 1,609), we estimate change models to assess the direct effects of homeownership on mastery as well as wh…
Race–Gender Differences in the Impact of History of Heavy Drinking on Current Alcohol Consumption during the Transition to Adulthood
American youth transitioning to adulthood consume more alcohol than in any other period of the life course. This high level of consumption can result in serious consequences, including lost productivity, death and disability, sexual assault, and addiction. Nevertheless, relatively little is known, especially by race and gender, about how prior history of heavy drinking (e.g., in late adolescence) impacts drinking in young adulthood. Utilizing dat…
The Use of Psychiatric Medication, Human Capital, and the Amplification of Mistrust
This research investigates the relationships among willingness to utilize psychiatric medication, education, and three forms of mistrust-generalized mistrust, mistrust in physicians, and mistrust in psychiatric medication. Utilizing human capital theory and two waves of the U.S. General Social Survey (N = 2,671), our findings show a curvilinear relationship between willingness to use psychiatric drugs and education, such that individuals with les…
Heart Trouble and Racial Group Identity
Racial Group Identity, Psychosocial Resources, and Depressive Symptoms
We utilized data from the National Survey of American Life to investigate the relationships among racial identity (closeness to other blacks and black group evaluation), psychosocial resources (self-esteem, mastery, and social support), and depressive symptoms. The data allowed us to explore ethnic heterogeneity among black Americans, with a sample of 2,953 African Americans and 1,140 Caribbean Blacks. Results indicated that for African Americans…
Bullying Behavior, Parents' Work Hours and Early Adolescents' Perceptions of Time Spent With Parents
This research investigates the relationships among bullying behavior, mother's and father's work hours, and early adolescents' perceptions of whether they spend sufficient time with their parents. In cross-sectional models, we find maternal work hours are modestly associated with increases in bullying behavior. However, in more rigorous change models, our findings indicate that over time maternal work hours bear no direct relationship to bullying…
African Americans and Physical Health
This research adds to the literature seeking to clarify the social psychological mechanism through which self-esteem is related to physical health for African Americans. Specifically, this study investigates the relationships among self-esteem, happiness, and physical health limitations for a representative sample of African Americans. Utilizing the Broaden-and-Build Theory of Positive Emotions, these results indicate that the impact of self-este…
Depressed Mood and Body Weight
Using data from the 1994-1998 waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth merged Mother and Young Adult file, this article examines the relationship between depressive symptoms and body mass index (BMI) in adolescence. The authors also examine whether this relationship varies by race and gender. Their findings indicate that over a 4-year period symptoms of depression are only related to increases in BMI for African American females. Stepfa…
The Gender Gap in Alcohol Consumption during Late Adolescence and Young Adulthood
We utilize data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth young adult sample (N = 1,488) to investigate whether gender role attitudes and the occupation of and transition to three adult roles (i.e., employment, marriage, and parenthood) contribute to the maintenance of the gender gap in the frequency and quantity of alcohol use. Our results indicate that traditional gender role attitudes are related to less frequent drinking for both men and…
Beliefs, Fertility, and Earnings of African American, Hispanic, and Non-Hispanic White Mothers
This study explores gender ideology, fertility factors (e.g., age at first birth, number of children), and their effects on earnings of African American ( n = 413), Hispanic American ( n = 271), and White ( n = 817) mothers. An analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth over a 10-year period (1988 to 1998) shows that, on average, Hispanic American and White mothers have a significantly more conservative gender ideology than A…
Gender Ideology and Motherhood
Greek-Letter Membership and College Graduation
Research, utilizing a nationally representative sample of 3,712 Americans, revealed that Greek-letter membership increases the probability of college graduation more for African Americans than for European Americans. Conversely, father's education is a more robust predictor of educational outcomes for European Americans compared to their African American counterparts
Mothers And Mastery
Using longitudinal data from a nationally representative sample of mothers, we specify the conditions under which the neighborhood context shapes the experience of mastery. In so doing, we extend the work of others who have shown that neighborhood perceptions influence one's sense of personal control over and above the effects of sociodemographic and objective neighborhood characteristics. Specifically, we demonstrate that the benefits to mastery…

Racial Variation in the Effects of Sons versus Daughters on the Disruption of the First Marriage
This research investigates whether there is racial variation in how the gender composition of the sibling group impacts the probability of divorce among couples in their first marriage. For African American families, the effect of children's sex is mediated by socioeco-nomic status. However, with regard to whites, the number of sons heightens the probability of divorce, while daughters have no effect on the marital union. Other sibling group char…
