Adverse Childhood Experiences and Youth Sports Participation: Variations Across Demographic Characteristics
Cohabitation and Child Educational Outcomes: An Examination of Family Stability and Transition in Australia
Cohabitation has become an increasingly common context for childrearing, yet children living with cohabiting parents often exhibit poorer academic outcomes than peers with married parents. This study examines whether these disparities stem from cohabitation itself, subsequent family transitions, or underlying mechanisms related to resources, stress, or selectivity. Using data from the Growing Up in Australia: Longitudinal Study of Australian Chil…
Beyond Parents: The Role of Sibling Social Capital in Self-Confidence in Emerging Adulthood
A robust literature focused on social capital created in the family has emphasized the efficacy of parental involvement in child, adolescent, and young adult development. Social capital created with and derived from parents has strong and consistent connections to academic achievement and attainments and pro-social behavior, as well as protective effects against delinquent behavior and mental health difficulties. Other forms of family social capi…
Bridging the Gap: The Role of Parent–Teacher Perception in Child Developmental Outcomes
Using both parent and teacher perceptions of child behaviors and abilities is a unique approach to understanding the relevance of parent and educator perceptions to a child's development. Our findings indicate the need for collaboration across young children's home and school or care settings. Establishing congruence in perceptions and the kinds of relationships that can lead to such congruence can help children with behavioral issues receive sup…
Family Ties and Young Adult Career Goals: Does Family Social Capital Stretch Into Emerging Adulthood
This paper proposes family social capital as a relational mechanism for driving the early career development of emerging adults. Career development theories, like the social cognitive career theory, largely focus on individuals or macro "environmental" factors. Meanwhile, sociologists focus on resources beyond individuals, like parental socioeconomic status. This paper theorises that family social capital can encourage career goal making and achi…
Coach–Athlete Relationships and Mental Health: An Exploratory Study on Former Female NCAA Student-Athletes
Female participation in NCAA athletics has grown significantly since the passage of Title IX-the 1972 U.S. federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational programs and activities receiving federal funding-yet much of the existing research continues to focus on male athletes, leaving important gaps in our understanding of women's experiences in collegiate sports. One underexamined area with important public health implications i…
Safety in Numbers? Does Family Social Capital Moderate the Relationship Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Intimate Partner Violence
Research demonstrates a positive correlation between experiencing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and negative outcomes in emerging adulthood. However, relatively little research has examined the potential effects of ACEs on a common experience in emerging adulthood: dating and establishing romantic relationships. This is especially true for troubled relationships. We extend this literature by examining a potential mechanism that might moder…
Do Status Characteristic-Based Stereotypes Influence Opportunities in Monoracial Settings? The Case of the National Hockey League
Research on positional segregation in sport focuses on mechanisms perpetuating discrepancies in integrated contexts, including in majority-minority sports. However, theoretical explanations for positional segregation should apply to other status groups, such as ethnicity, that may be more salient in monoracial or nearly monoracial settings. We use 2018 to 2019 data on 790 NHL players and executives along with descriptive models previously applied…
Family Structure and Youth Gender Ideologies in Germany and South Korea
Although gender ideologies influence many outcomes, research shows they often fluctuate across the life course. Family structure transitions are one mechanism through which gender ideologies change. Divorced and single adults report more egalitarian ideologies than stably married adults. Little research has examined whether children in these families experience similar gender ideologies. Based on parental role modeling, we would expect children i…
Family Structure, Family Transitions, and Child Overweight and Obesity: Comparing Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States
Growing rates of childhood obesity globally create concern for individuals' health outcomes and demands on health systems. While many policy approaches focus on macro-level interventions, we examine how the type of stability of a family structure might provide opportunities for policy interventions at the micro level. We examine the association between family structure trajectories and childhood overweight and obesity across three Anglophone coun…
Family and Peer Social Capital and Child Behavioral Outcomes in Japan
Our findings emphasize the importance of considering social and cultural contexts when exploring how social capital might encourage prosocial child outcomes
Being big in the big tent: Is fat social justice part of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts on college campuses in the United States
Fat social justice and fat liberation movements share language, symbols, and strategies with many other movements striving to fight discrimination and stigma, such as movements centered on race, gender, sexuality, and disability. These communities should be natural partners with fat activists in striving for intersectional liberation and in fighting existing structures of privilege. It is less clear, however, the degree to which fat activism and …
Family Structure and Child Behavior Problems in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States
A large body of literature suggests that children living with two married, biological parents on average have fewer behavior problems than those who do not. What is less clear is why this occurs. Competing theories suggest that resource deficiencies and parental selectivity play a part. We suggest that examining different contexts can help adjudicate among different theoretical explanations as to how family structure relates to child behavior pro…
Associations between Gendered Family Structures and Adolescent Stress, Loneliness, and Sadness in South Korea
While a large literature connects family environments characterized by access to two married biological parents to better child mental health outcomes, we know less about the mechanisms linking family structure to mental health outcomes for children living in other family structures. While essentialist theory suggests that access to both male and female parents will be an important determinant of child mental health, some research directly compar…
Rethinking Social Capital
Comparing Children’s Behavior Problems in Biological Married, Biological Cohabitating, and Stepmother Families in the UK
A large body of research shows that children who live with two married biological parents have lower levels of externalizing and internalizing behavior problems compared to their peers in other family structure, including cohabitating biological families. Such patterns suggest that marriage provides a uniquely protective family environment, though we know less about children in the obvious counterfactual case: married stepfamilies. While research…
Gendered Associations between Single Parenthood and Child Behavior Problems in the United Kingdom
Internalizing and externalizing behavior problems are associated with a variety of negative child outcomes, but these conclusions have been drawn from research that usually compares children in families with two biological, married parents to all other family types. We compare behavior problems across two-parent, single-mother, and single-father families, which allows us to explore competing gender theories as possible explanations for why child …
Family Structure and Maternal Depressive Symptoms: A Cross-National Comparison of Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States
The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between family structure and maternal depressive symptoms (MDS) in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Family structures that involve transitions across life's course, such as divorce, can alter access to resources and introduce new stressors into family systems. Using the stress process model, we examine the links between family structure, stress, resources, and MDS. U…
When Single Parents Marry: Do Children Benefit Academically
Objective The objective of this research is to determine whether children born to single parents benefit academically if their parents marry. Background Children born to single parents have on average worse educational outcomes than peers who live with married parents, but transitions to a married parent family are not well understood. Method We use the U.S. Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Kindergarten Cohort of 1998 to create two groups of ch…
Gender Marginalization in Sports Participation through Advertising: The Case of Nike
The sport sector functions as a site of health-promotion by encouraging and enabling individuals to invest in their health and giving them tools to do so. This investment is often initiated by, or altered by, role modeling, or seeing other individuals engaging in sport. This could include family or peers but could also include depictions of sport in popular media. Inclusive role-modeling could subsequently encourage more sport participation, thus…
Paternal Closeness in Adolescence: The Association of Sports and Gender
Recent research suggests positive associations between shared recreational activities and father-child relationships for young children. We extend these ideas to adolescents and to recreational activities in which the father's participation might be limited to audience membership. We use the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health to evaluate whether an association exists between adolescent sports participation and paternal rela…
Impacts of family structure on shadow education and educational achievement among South Korean youth
Ethnicity and Parental Discipline Practices: A Cross‐National Comparison
Objective Examine whether the relationship between ethnicity and parental discipline practices is consistent across contexts. Background Harsh discipline has been linked to negative child behaviors and adolescent outcomes. In examining harsh discipline, scholars have observed ethnic differences. Methods We use the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study‐Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS‐K) for the United States and the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) for the Un…
Social Capital and Prosocial Behavior among German Children
A robust literature connects children’s and adolescents’ social capital to a range of desirable outcomes, including increased academic achievement and decreased delinquency. We extend this research by extending possible associations with child social capital to positive behaviors, measured here as prosocial behaviors. We examine data on 6th graders in Germany. We select the German context in part because one important source of child social capit…
Contextualising the achievement gap: Assessing educational achievement, inequality, and disadvantage in high-Income countries
We examine the disparities in educational outcomes for high-income countries as they are reported by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), with a specific emphasis on a more nuanced exploration of SES-based achievement gaps. To explore differences in the educational inequality and disadvantages associated with SES-based achievement gaps by country, we analyze three measures: overall average performance, educational inequality…
Capital at Home and at School: Effects on Student Achievement
We investigate the effects of both family and school capital on student math and reading achievement. We use the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) merged Child-Mother Data for 1992 and 1994, to which indicators of capital in the children's schools for 1993–94 and 1994–95 have recently been added. We study children who attended first through eighth grades in both 1992 and 1994, with samples of 2034 for math achievement and 2203 for read…
Does capital at home matter more than capital at school? Social capital effects on academic achievement
Capital at Home and at School: Effects on Child Social Adjustment
We argue for analyzing school and family social capital, human capital, and financial capital as parallel concepts and investigate their effects on child social adjustment. We use the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) merged Child-Mother Data, to which we add indicators of capital in the children's schools. Findings suggest that although school capital effects are present, family social capital and maternal and child human capital effe…
Examining the Effects of Family and School Social Capital on Delinquent Behavior
In this article we evaluate and compare the effects of social capital at home and social capital at school on the frequency of involvement in delinquent behavior in the previous year. Using data from the first wave of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health, 1994–95; N = 8,100), a nationally representative survey of youth in the United States, we find that social sources of capital in the family exert a stronger negative …
Sex of Parent and Children's Well-Being in Single-Parent Households

Family and School Capital Effects on Delinquency: Substitutes or Complements
Studies imply that family and school resources independently affect delinquency. Yet research has not developed a conceptual or analytic framework for exploring how these variables may interact to affect delinquent behavior. The authors propose that certain family and school variables may serve as substitute or complementary forms of capital in equations designed to predict delinquency. In particular, school capital may substitute for low family …
The rise of the underdog? The relative age effect reversal among Canadian-born NHL hockey players: A reply to Nolan and Howell
The relative age effect associated with cut-off dates for hockey eligibility has been an ongoing debate in certain academic circles and in the popular media. The effect is primarily found in Canadian Major Junior Hockey, where a disproportionate share of birthdays fall in the first three months of the year. But when the National Hockey League rosters of Canadian-born players are examined, the pattern is less pronounced. Using publically available…
Capital and Context: Using Social Capital at Home and at School to Predict Child Social Adjustment
Research examining the influence of social relationships on child outcomes has seldom examined how individuals derive social capital from more than one context and the extent to which they may benefit from the capital derived from each. We address this deficit through a study of child behavior problems. We hypothesize that children derive social capital from both their families and their schools and that capital from each context is influential i…
Race Logic and “Being like Mike”: Representations of Athletes in Advertising, 1985–1994
Although participation in sports by black athletes has increased, evidence remains that these athletes still face discriminatory practices. One arena in which black athletes are treated differently from their white counterparts is the advertising of products by athletic spokespersons. This paper examines the stereotypes used in portraying black athletes in advertising by scrutinizing advertisements in Sports Illustrated from 1985 to 1994. I hypot…

From High School Jocks to College Grads: Assessing the Long-Term Effects of High School Sport Participation on Females' Educational Attainment
Various studies show that interscholastic sport participants, and specifically female athletes, enjoy numerous educational benefits at the high school level. Because of the influx in the number of females engaging in high school sport that has occurred during the past 30 years, few studies have been able to adequately assess whether females' involvement in interscholastic sport has any long-term consequences. In this study, the authors examine wh…
Family Social Capital, Family Social Bonds, and Juvenile Delinquency
There is a long history in criminology of examining the effects of social bonds on criminal behavior. A similar conceptual framework that developed in sociology is social capital theory. Studies using these models have addressed the effects of parent-child relationships on adolescent behavior. However, social bond theory tends to predominate as an explanation of juvenile delinquency. We developed a comparative analysis of measures of family socia…
Too Much of a Good Thing: Social Capital and Academic Stress in South Korea
In intense academic environments such as in South Korea, students experience extreme levels of academic stress. This stress peaks as students prepare for the college entrance exam in the final year of high school. Stress is associated with a host of negative outcomes, and academic stress is the leading cause of suicidal ideation among youth in South Korea. Research suggests that in high-stress contexts such as this, social capital can improve aca…
Family Structure Stability and Transitions, Parental Involvement, and Educational Outcomes
The family environments children live in have profound effects on the skills, resources, and attitudes those children bring to school. Researchers studying family structure have found that children who live with two married, opposite-sex, biological parents, on average, have better educational outcomes than children living in alternate family structures, perhaps due to higher resources, lower stressors, or different selectivity patterns. Socioeco…
Who has the advantage? Race and sex differences in returns to social capital at home and at school
Sex Differences in Parenting Behaviors in Single-Mother and Single-Father Households
Research on family structure has led some to claim that sex-based parenting differences exist. But if such differences exist in single-parent families, the absence of a second parent rather than specific sex-typed parenting might explain them. We examine differences in mothering and fathering behavior in single-parent households, where number of parents is held constant, and we describe individualist and structuralist perspectives for potential s…
Glass Ceilings and Productivity: The Effects of Ethnicity and Sex in the Presence of Agreed-upon Productivity Measures among Collegiate Basketball Coaches
Workers from traditionally disadvantaged groups sometimes find their career paths blocked by glass ceilings that prevent them from acquiring top jobs. In the presence of clear and agreed-upon measures of productivity, however, employers should be able to set aside stereotypical proxies of productivity that may favor white male workers and hire the most productive candidates regardless of ethnicity and sex. In this paper, I utilize bivariate probi…
Advantage men: The sex pay gap in professional tennis
Much of the literature on gender inequality in sport is devoted to media bias and conceptualizations of masculinity and femininity. In comparison, there is a paucity of empirical research on the sex pay gap. Our case study uses publically accessible data for professional tennis players ranked in the top 100 at the end of the 2009 season to determine to what extent a pay gap exists between men and women. We find that median earnings - both in 2009…
The Effects of Parental Work and Maternal Nonemployment on Children's Reading and Math Achievement
James Coleman's theory regarding family social capital and Mel Kohn's ideas regarding work and personality suggest that parental work may affect child cognition. Using a sample of 1,067 9-to 12-year-old children of working and nonworking mothers from the 1992 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth's Child-Mother data set, we found that the most important determinants of children's reading and math achievement were characteristics of the children a…

The Influence of Foreign-born Population on Immigrant and Native-born Students' Academic Achievement
With recent increases in international migration, some political and academic narratives argue for limiting migration because of possible negative effects on the host country. Among other outcomes, these groups argue that immigrant students have an impact on education, negatively affecting native-born students' academic performance. The authors contextualize the relationship between immigrant status and academic achievement by considering a macro…

Family Structure and Child Well-Being in a Non-western Context: The Role of Parent–Child Relations and Parental Conflict in South Korea
Family Social Capital and Delinquent Behavior in the United Kingdom
Research suggests that juvenile delinquency has a number of deleterious effects on adolescents' lives. A promising way to discourage delinquent behavior is by increasing social capital, which involves social connections adolescents have to other actors and pro-social norms that flow through these networks. The primary source of social capital is one's family members, but no studies to date have focused directly on the effects of family social cap…
Why infer? The use and misuse of population data in sport research
While the use of inferential statistics is a nearly universal practice in the social sciences, there are instances where its application is unnecessary or, worse, misleading. This is true for most research on the Relative Age Effect (RAE) in sports. Given the limited amount of data needed to examine RAE (birth dates) and the availability of complete team rosters, RAE researchers are in a unique position- inference is not needed when interpreting …

Artificially Restricted Labor Markets and Worker Dignity in Professional Football
This article focuses on the effect of labor market restrictions on worker dignity during the recruitment and hiring processes by examining a labor-market case study in which worker power is severely constrained through industry practices. Specifically, the authors study workers who attempted to gain employment in the National Football League to explore how artificially restricted labor markets limit workers' market power. Findings from extensive …

Capital at Home and at School: A Review and Synthesis
Human, financial, and social capital from several contexts affects child and adolescent well‐being. Families and schools are among the most important, and research is increasingly studying how effects of capital across such contexts affect child and adolescent academic and social outcomes. Some research suggests that families may be more powerful than schools in promoting child and adolescent well‐being. Additional research is needed to more full…
Title IX: Consequences for Gender Relations in Sport
Legal interventions have succeeded in creating new opportunities for female athletes, but some argue that this is at the expense of opportunities for male athletes. In this review, we examine the consequences of a particular legal intervention in sport, the US education law Title IX, for female athletes, male athletes, and the construction of gender. Research indicates that sport participation is linked to important attainment outcomes, such as c…

Race differences in educational attainment of youth aged 7–18 in post-apartheid South Africa: The role of family structure, resources and school quality
The present study uses seven waves of the General Household Survey by Statistics South Africa to examine the role of family structure, resources and school quality in educational inequalities in post-apartheid South Africa. Indians/Asians and whites have an education advantage over Africans and coloureds, and maintain that advantage as they age. About half of the disadvantage of Africans and coloureds is because of family background; very little …
Senseless Messaging: Advertising Images of Illegal Driving and Deviant Behavior
We review messaging within automobile advertisements that normalizes and glamorizes reckless driving behavior. Our content analysis of video advertisements illustrates the use of the automobile in ways that are both illegal and dangerous.
