  • Sibling Resemblance in Behavioral and Cognitive Outcomes

    Jay Teachman, Jay D Teachman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family1998Cited by: 13

    Using longitudinal data on sibling pairs from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth, we investigate the influence of father presence on behavioral and cognitive outcomes for children. Our results indicate that children who live in one-parent families exhibit more behavioral problems and have lower mathematics and reading ability than children in two-parent families. The differences across time between children in two-parent and one-parent fami…

  • The Family and Educational Aspirations

    Jay D Teachman, Kathleen PaaschARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family1998Cited by: 17

    The question we address is the extent to which variation in the educational aspirations of children resides in the family. We identify the importance of the family for educational aspirations by using data on sets of siblings to model the degree of sibling resemblance. Our results indicate that nearly three quarters of the variation in educational aspirations lies between families but that only a fraction of this variation can be explained by sta…

  • Financial Impact of Divorce on Children and Their Families

    Jay D Teachman, Kathleen Paasch et al.ARTICLEThe Future of Children1994Cited by: 11References: 3

    This article reviews the evidence pertaining to the financial impact of divorce on children and their families. While there is some variance as to the degree of change, the preponderance of evidence suggests that women and children experience substantial financial declines upon divorce while divorced men's relative income remains stable or even increases. Given this decline in women and children's economic status, the impact of public assistance …

The data suggest that the field of population research has become increasingly bureau…

  • Legal Status and the Stability of Coresidential Unions

    Open AccessJay D Teachman, Jeffrey Thomas et al.ARTICLEDemography1991Cited by: 28References: 23

    Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972, we examine the effect of the legal status of coresidential unions on the likelihood of dissolution. We find that legal unions are much more stable than nonlegal unions. In addition, current legal status is more important for predicting stability of union than is legal status at the initiation of the union. We also find that the effect of current legal status remains…

    Open AccessKathleen Paasch, Kathleen M Paasch et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues1991Cited by: 5References: 12

    Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972, the authors examine the extent to which absent fathers provide various forms of assistance to their children. They also focus on the gender of children as one factor influencing transfers from absent fathers. The results indicate that absent fathers are much more likely to make child support payments than to provide other forms of assistance, especially when their d…
