James Sydney Jackson (1944–2020)
James Sydney Jackson (1944-2020). Jackson had a profound, wholly unique, and enduring impact on the discipline of psychology and a host of other affiliated fields of study. His insistence on seeing Black populations and other peoples of color in full- appreciating their complexities, variabilities, and contrasts- fundamentally altered our approach to the study of race/ethnicity within these scholarly frames. In the Fall of 1971, Jackson assumed h…
Exploratory analysis of verbal aggression in romantic relationships among unmarried men and women
This is an exploratory study that examined verbal aggression in romantic relationships among unmarried Black and White women and men as a function of gender and race. We employed an ecological approach to examine the receipt of verbal aggression separately for men and women at the levels of individual, relationship, and community. We also explored whether gender-specific correlates of verbal aggression interacted with race. Analyses were based on…
Romantic Unions in an Era of Uncertainty
This article provides a brief overview of how African American women are situated in and around the thesis of the Moynihan Report. The authors take the lens of uncertainty and apply it to a post-Moynihan discussion of African American women and marriage. They discuss uncertainty in the temporal organization of poor women's lives and in the new terrains of gender relationships and how both influence African American women's thoughts and behaviors …
Relative Spousal Earnings and Marital Happiness Among African American and White Women
The distinctive economic histories of African American and White wives suggest that involvement in household income production holds contextually situated unique meanings for these groups. Yet research has not addressed racial differences in the effects of relative earnings on marital well-being. Surveying 431 employed wives in 21 U.S. cities, we found that wife-to-husband income ratio and marital happiness were negatively associated when women h…
Social and Health Determinants of Well Being and Life Satisfaction in Jamaica
Background: Psychological well being and the degree of satisfaction with life are likely to affect a range of social behaviours and determine uptake of health and social services. It is important to identify the factors that inform these constructs. Aims: We sought to identify the variables which best predicted psychological well being in the Caribbean country, Jamaica and also those associated with feelings of satisfaction with life. Methods: In…
Racial Ambiguity and Relationship Formation in the United States
This article explores in conceptual terms the nature of romantic relationship formation and maintenance when a potential or actual partner does not fit into the dominant racial schema - a situation we define as 'racial ambiguity.' When a potential other cannot be classified according to one's existing notions of racial organization, how does this ambiguity affect approach and maintenance? In the discussion, we first explore the concept of racial …
Till Death Do Us Part
This work assembles a group of international scholars to address issues on marriage and the state, motivations to marry, partner selections, marriage ceremonies, religion, kinship ties and marriage, sexual interaction and marriage, and divorce
Ethnic Variations in Perceptions of Men's Provider Role
Relatively little research has examined current perceptions of men's provider role in light of widespread support for women's employment. This study examined attitudes toward provider role enactment and provider role responsibility and how such views varied by ethnicity, gender, demographic characteristics, immigration status, acculturation, and community economic conditions. Telephone interviews were conducted with 3,213 residents across 21 citi…
Psychological Well-Being and Perceived Marital Opportunity Among Single African American, Latina and White Women
Research over the past decade has documented declining rates of marriage among African Americans and has identified constrained mate availability as a key determinant of this change. Many see Black marital decline as rooted in the deteriorating economic circumstances of significant segments of the African American population (especially males), as well as high male mortality and institutionalization. Discussions of the impact of diminished marita…

Marital Attitudes, Perceived Mate Availability, and Subjective Well-Being among Partnered African American Men and Women
This study examined attitudinal and structural correlates of personal and relationship well-being among 139 African Americans in romantic partnerships, including marriage. Multiple regression analyses indicated that marital valuation is an important predictor of subjective well-being among partnered African American men. Among women, the value of relationships more generally, rather than marriage, was predictive of happiness and marital/relations…

New Trends in Black American Interracial Marriage
This study addresses the underlying demographic correlates of interracial marriage as distinct among black women and men in a western [U.S.] location. Logistic regression analyses indicated that the structural correlates were nearly identical for men and women: the interracially married tended to be younger more likely to have been married before and more distant in age from their spouses....Furthermore persons born in the North...and in foreign …
Demographic Correlates of Relationship Status among Black Americans
Data from the National Survey of Black Americans were analyzed to determine the extent of and the structural correlates of marriage, romantic involvement, and preference for romantic involvement. The study was conducted within a mate availability framework, and the findings, based on logistic regression analysis, led to the following conclusions: (a) marriage among blacks is in large part a function of male economic readiness and traditionality; …
Black Residential Mobility
This analysis of trends in Black residential mobility uses a multi‐disciplinary approach that incorporates contributions from sociology, psychology, economics, demography, and social geography, among others. It examines population migrations from Africa during the slave trade, mobility patterns during the internal slave trade within the United States, and the large population shifts during the industrialization of the urban North and West. Contem…
Social Support and Coping
This paper addresses two issues: (a) the utility of applying the social support‐stress‐coping paradigm to the study of substance abuse, and (b) refinements needed in conceptualization of the coping aspect of the model. A brief review of the more recent theoretical and methodological treatments of social support is followed by an examination of two limitations of current perspectives. The first limitation considered is the failure of previous work…
Women's Use of Drugs and Alcohol
Success Expectations and Preferences for Individual and Collaborative Learning Among Black and White College Students
The presence and involvement of other people can be a key factor in any student learning environment. Students typically learn or study either completely alone; alone but with the assistance of experts, e.g., tutors; in groups of their classmates; or in groups of peers directed by experts, e.g., teachers. There is a good deal of evidence concerning the effects of observers and participants in individual and group problem-solving settings, though …
