  • The effect of inbreeding on early childhood mortality

    Open AccessLinda Eberst Dorsten, Lawrence Hotchkiss et al.ARTICLEDemography1999Cited by: 6References: 21

    An unresolved issue in research on child survival is the extent to which familial mortality risk in infancy is due to biological influences net of sociodemographic and economic factors. We examine the effect of consanguinity on early childhood mortality in an Old Order Amish settlement by using the inbreeding coefficient, an explicit measure of the degree of relatedness in one’s ancestry. Inbreeding has a net positive effect on neonatal and postn…

  • Consanguineous Marriage and Early Childhood Mortality in an Amish Settlement

    Linda Eberst Dorsten, Lawrence Hotchkiss et al.ARTICLESociological Focus1996Cited by: 2

    This paper examines the effect of inbreeding as a direct measure of consanguinity on early childhood mortality. Data are from a church directory of the Old Order Amish of the Lancaster, PA, settlement. The sample includes all infant deaths and a probability sample of survivors (total N = 1,823). We find that inbreeding has a net positive effect on neonatal and infant deaths and on the instantaneous hazard rate. However, we also find socioeconomic…

  • A Technique for Comparing Path Models Between Subgroups

    Open AccessLawrence Hotchki, Lawrence HotchkissARTICLESociological Methods & Research1976Cited by: 5References: 8

    A standardization procedure is presented which facilitates comparisons of path coefficients or regression coefficients simultaneously between subgroups and between independent variables. It is noted that standardized path coefficients are generally appropriate when comparisons of the magnitude of effects of different independent variables within a subgroup are desired, and unstandardized path-regression coefficients are appropriate for comparison…

  • Educational Decision Makers

    Richard A Rehberg, Lawrence Hotchki et al.ARTICLESociology of Education1972Cited by: 2

    Three questions regarding the secondary school guidance counselor are addressed: (1) Do counselors devote more time to students predisposed than to students less predisposed toward higher education? (2) To what extent does the counselor's advice depend upon such variables as a student's status, intelligence, educational expectations, and encouragement from parents? (3) Does the counselor have an effect on a student's educational expectations inde…
