Model Students, Model Citizens: Narratives of Japanese American Students, 1930s–1940s
The origin of the model minority myth of Asian Americans is frequently traced to World War II and the war hero narrative of the all-Japanese 442nd Infantry Regiment. The dominance of this narrative privileges the experiences of Japanese American men over women while also obscuring the role of educational institutions in the development of the model minority myth. In this paper, we draw from a unique dataset of college applications of Japanese Ame…
Division of Labor Over the Life Course: Structural or Symbolic Pressures
ObjectiveDo structural or symbolic pressures, as measured by work-family transitions, play a greater role in determining the gendered division of household labor?BackgroundScholars explain gendered divisions of household labor using structural (i.e., resource allocation; time availability) and symbolic explanations (i.e., gender as a social institution; doing gender). We concurrently tested these theories through the lens of major work-family tra…
Who can refuse? Attitudes About the Fertility Decisions of Wives and Husbands
This research explored Americans' responses to dual questions from the 'Constructing the Family II' survey asking if it was 'all right' for wives and husbands to refuse to have children with their spouses. We reviewed the data descriptively, demographically using multinomial logistic regression, and qualitatively, investigating subset respondents' rationales. Most respondents supported or opposed refusal equally, with only about five percent of r…
A life course perspective on sexual minorities: Implications for the study of homophobic prejudice and discrimination
The legal treatment of and attitudes toward sexual minorities has changed considerably over recent decades in the United States, highlighting the role of historical context in the unfolding of human lives. Yet, a full application of the life course perspective to the topic of structural inequalities faced by sexual minorities is missing from the scholarly literature. Through synthesizing and analyzing research findings from the past 15 years, we …

ObjectiveThis study introduces the concept of role-relational ambiguity to explain the challenges some individuals face in adjusting to a parent's gender transition.BackgroundWhen a parent undergoes a gender transition, our society lacks both the language and social scripts to describe how parent-child relationships and roles should look afterward. Yet little is understood about how children of transgender parents experience a parent's transition…
Diverse Family Forms and Children's Well‐Being
The relationship between family structure and children's well‐being has been the subject of an extensive body of family scholarship that continues to grow. Amidst the worldwide diversification of families, scholars have grappled with how to make sense of the emergence and proliferation of “alternative” family forms—those differing from the “traditional families,” or what has been referred to as the Standard North American Family. This essay explo…
