Daily Sleep Predicting Marital Interactions as Mediated Through Mood
Improving sleep quality among older couples could lead to better daily marital interactions through changes in mood
Healthcare Use in the Heartland
One increasingly important problem affecting rural health care selection is the tendency of older residents to bypass local health care providers. This research investigates how the effects of community characteristics and attachment on health care bypass behavior vary between rural retirement-age migrants and retirement-age long-term residents. Non-health-related behaviors, such as purchasing goods and services outside one's community during a h…
Rural Health Care Bypass Behavior
PURPOSE: (1) To assess the prevalence of rural primary care physician (PCP) bypass, a behavior in which residents travel farther than necessary to obtain health care, (2) To examine the role of community and non-health-care-related characteristics on bypass behavior, and (3) To analyze spatial bypass patterns to determine which rural communities are most affected by bypass. METHODS: Data came from the Montana Health Matters survey, which gathered…
Intergenerational Assistance to Adult Children
This study considers how the number of sisters and brothers affects the flow of aid from older parents to adult children. Using data from the 2004 Middletown Kinship Survey ( N = 338), the authors find that the aid adults receive from their parents varies by the gender composition of the sibship. Adults with more sisters tend to receive less assistance from their older parents. This holds true across a range of helping behaviors, including financ…
Prevalence of and Factors Associated With Subclinical Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms and PTSD in Urban and Rural Areas of Montana
PURPOSE: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an important clinical problem, but little is known about PTSD in rural, nonclinical populations. To better understand PTSD in rural areas, we examined the prevalence and risk and protective factors in urban, rural, and highly rural communities in Montana for both subclinical posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and PTSD. METHODS: We compared the prevalence of PTSS and PTSD in urban, rural, and high…
SOS-Satisfied or Stuck, Why Older Rural Residents Stay Put
As rural communities undergo substantial demographic and economic changes, understanding the migration intentions and their antecedents of rural elderly persons becomes increasingly important. Using data drawn from a survey of adults from 24 rural Utah communities conducted in 2008, we examine whether rural residents 60 years of age or older plan to remain in their present communities (N= 621). We use structural equation models (SEM) to estimate …
Religion, Job Readiness, and Employment Outcomes
Despite increased attention to religious organizations as an ally in America's welfare-to-work revolution, faith- based employment assistance programs have garnered little attention from scholars. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining intake and follow-up survey data collected from clients of Employment Resource Centers sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). The authors begin by examining the sociodemo- graph…
Characteristics of Older Childless Persons and Parents
The prevalence and implications of childlessness in old age are compared across nine major surveys in seven countries: Australia, Finland, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Specifically, the researchers examine indicators of the well-being and resources of childless men and women, compare them to their within-country peers with children, and explore the similarities and differences among childless older a…
Pathways to Childlessness
In this article life history data from the U.S. National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH), and the Dutch survey on Older Adults' Living Arrangements and Social Networks (NESTOR-LSN) are used to shed light on the various pathways leading to and associated with childlessness, and the proportions of men and women who have followed a particular pathway (e.g., marrying late, divorcing early, never leaving the parental home). The central questi…
The Middletown Replications
In 1924, as part of the nation’s most famous community study, Robert and Helen Lynd collected questionnaires from three-fourths of Middletown’s high school students, obtaining details on “the life of the high school population” from some 800 sophomore, junior, and senior students in English classes and reactions to various “statements of opinion” from 550 juniors and seniors in social science classes. Robert and Helen Lynd’s surveys of the opinio…
The Inventory of Father Involvement
As the study of fathering has matured in recent years, fathering scholars have recognized the need for richer, broader measures of the construct of father involvement (Hawkins & Palkovitz, 1999). In an effort to create a measure sensitive to affective, cognitive, and direct and indirect behavioral components of involvement, 100 items were initially generated. Of these, 43 were selected for the “Inventory of Father Involvement” (IFI). Fathers ( N …
Cohabitation, Marriage, and Remarriage
Using longitudinal data from the 1987 to 1988 (Wave I) and 1992 to 1993 (Wave II) National Survey of Family and Households, the authors compared long-term cohabiting, married, and remarried couples in four areas of relationship quality at Wave II (happiness, communication, fairness, and disagreements). Comparisons were made after controlling for presence of a child, relationship duration, educational level, gender, ethnic status, and relationship…
Giving Time, Money, and Blood
The research reported here is a test of the applicability of an identity theory model, developed with samples of blood donors, to two other forms of institutional helping: volunteering and charitable donation. The model fits all three forms of helping; perceived expectations, parental modeling, personal norms, past behavior, and role-identity as a donor are significant predictors of intentions to donate. Role-identity is predicted from perceived …
Nonmarital Childbearing among Adult Women

Sibling Resemblance in Behavioral and Cognitive Outcomes
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…
Religious Influence on Marital Stability
Researchers frequently postulate a strong relationship between religiosity and marital stability. We incorporate a multidimensional specification of religiosity into event-history models of the religion-marital stability relationship. Results are based on panel data from the National Survey of Families and Households (N = 4,587 married couples). While no single dimension of religiosity adequately describes the effect of religious experience on ma…

The Effect of Military Service on Educational, Occupational, and Income Attainment
The Incidence and Frequency of Marital Sex in a National Sample
Although marriage is the only context for intercourse that is universally approved, behaviors and attitudes are more likely to be studied outside than inside the marital context. Over 10 years ago, Greenblat (1983) commented that marital sex remains more the topic of jokes than of serious social scientific investigation (p. 289). Several recent books based on the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) sex study overviewed sexuality in America an…

First the advantages of event history analysis are described. Second issues regarding data collection methods are briefly reviewed. The final three sections explain statistical procedures including survival tables continuous time models and discrete time models. Results…

The CDS was designed to explore the individual-level determinants of access to careers and the relationships between t…
Family, Work, and School Influences on the Decision to Enter the Military
This study uses a large, nationally representative data base to examine the multiple correlates of enlistment of young men in the military. It focuses on the recent experience of the all volunteer force (AVF) and pays particular attention to the effects of work, school, and family roles on enlistment in the military and how these effects vary by race. It is argued that the potential for role incompatibility and conflict between the military and w…
Managing Family Data on Multiple Roles and Changing Statuses over Time
National Survey of Families and Households
This collection provides data on the family experience in the United States. At a time when the range of family structures is becoming more and more diverse, this study permits a close examination of the resulting family compositions and household operations. One adult, the primary respondent, was chosen from each of 13,017 households in the study. In addition to the main interview conducted with the primary respondent, a shorter, self-administer…
