Women's Community Service, 1940-1960: Insights from a Cohort of Gifted American Women
Americans who came of age during and immediately following World War II have recently become a central feature for more broadly understanding volunteerism, as well as civic participation, in the United States. Using data from the Stanford-Terman Study we examine women's community service participation and leadership over the period 1940–1960. The women studied moved in and out of community service over time, with patterns of participation showing…
World War II Mobilization in Men's Work Lives: Continuity or Disruption for the Middle Class
The labor needs of World War II fueled a growing demand for both military and war industry personnel. This longitudinal study investigates mobilization into these competing activities and their work life effects among men from the middle class. Hazard estimates show significant differences in wartime activities across occupations, apart from other deferment criteria. By war's end, critical employment, in contrast to military service, is positivel…
Successful Adaptation in the Later Years: A Life Course Approach to Aging
This study draws on contemporary themes of aging research by focusing on successful adaptation in the later years and by viewing aging as a lifelong process. We used person-oriented analysis to categorize men age 58 to 72 from the Stanford-Terman study according to patterns of life satisfaction, vitality, family engagement, occupational attainment, and civic involvement. Four styles of aging emerged: less adjusted, career-focused but socially dis…

Breaking New Ground: Diverse Routes to College in Rural America
Rural communities pose a challenge to status attainment models that explain children's educational attainment primarily in terms of the parents' education and professional status. Alongside the rural professional class are farmers of similar social status but with less education and other families that lack the status and resources of both professional-class and farm families. The prolonged agricultural crisis in the American Midwest has turned r…

Religious Involvement Among Rural Youth: An Ecological and Life-Course Perspective
Developmental expressions of religion in the lives of youth extend from formal church attendance and ritual involvement to religious beliefs and knowledge, self-identity, and participation in youth groups. Little is known about developmental change in these activities and definitions among youth, especially in rural America, although they represent social capital for human development. Using multiple dimensions of religious development (church at…

Time, Human Agency, and Social Change: Perspectives on the Life Course
The life course has emerged over the past 30 years as a major research paradigm. Distinctive themes include the relation between human lives and a changing society, the timing of lives, linked or interdependent lives, and human agency. Two lines of research converged in the formation of this paradigm during the 1960s; one was associated with an older «social relationship» tradition that featured intergenerational studies, and the other with more …
Linking Family Economic Hardship to Adolescent Distress
A study of 451 families living in the rural Midwest examined the negative impact of financial problems on early adolescents' symptoms of psychological distress. The tested model links financial difficulties to adolescent psychological problems through the quality of marital and parent-child relationships. Results show that economic stress has a direct effect on marital quality which, in turn, disrupts or undermines the parent-child relationship. …
