Marital Quality and Depressive Symptoms Among Older Hispanic Adults in the United States
In the United States, a large percentage of older Hispanic adults are immigrants, and their extended family tends to reside in their countries of origin. As such, older Hispanic adults may have smaller social networks, and marital quality most likely represents a culturally important social support network in later life. Significant associations between depressive symptoms and marital quality among older Hispanic adults should receive more attent…
Trajectories of negative and positive marital quality during later life
This study aims to establish trajectories of later-life marital quality and assess predictors of trajectory membership. Although numerous studies examine marital quality across the early years of marriage, much less is known about older adults' trajectories. Existing studies assess average patterns of stability or decline over the life course but have not explored the possibility of multiple trajectories during later life. This study uses nationa…
Marital quality, gender, and later-life depressive symptom trajectories
We analyze six waves of data (2006-2016) from the Health and Retirement Study (n = 4,342) to examine how marital quality is associated with depressive symptom trajectories among a group of continuously married older adults. Results show gender parity in how own perceptions of positive and negative dimensions of marital quality are related to depressive symptom trajectories. In addition, spousal perceptions of negative marital quality are positive…
Intergenerational Ambivalence and Loneliness in Later Life
OBJECTIVE: This brief report examined the relationship between intergenerational ambivalence and loneliness in later life among a group of older adults with at least one child. BACKGROUND: Previous work has explored the links between intergenerational ambivalence and other indicators of well-being but has not examined loneliness. Although studies show an association between positive and negative relationship quality with children and loneliness, …
Transforming Introductory Sociology with Team-Based Learning
Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a highly structured, immersive teaching strategy that emphasizes active learning through peer teams. Despite its many potential benefits for teaching introductory sociology, it has been slow to gain traction in the discipline. Instructors may debate whether the value of TBL is sufficient to justify its challenges, which may include student resistance, increased time demands, and difficulty envisioning implementation. …
Marital quality, marital dissolution, and mortality risk during the later life course
Grandparenting Roles and Volunteer Activity
Consistent with resource theory and the accumulation of roles, providing nonresidential grandchild care may draw grandparents into formal volunteer activity. The lower human capital resources evidenced by grandparents raising coresidential grandchildren may play a role in their lower likelihood of formal volunteering
Transitions Into and Out of Cohabitation in Later Life
Cohabitation among adults over age 50 is rising rapidly, more than doubling from 1.2 million in 2000 to 2.75 million in 2010. A small literature provides a descriptive portrait of older cohabitors, but no study has investigated transitions into and out of cohabitation during later life. Drawing on demographic and life course perspectives, the authors developed a framework for conceptualizing later life union behaviors. Using data from the 1998-20…
Gender, Marital Power, and Marital Quality in Later Life
This study uses data from the 1992 Health and Retirement Study to examine gender differences in marital power and marital quality among older adults and to assess whether there are gender differences in the correlates of marital quality and marital power in later life. Results show that women report lower marital happiness, marital interaction, and marital power than do men, on average. These differences persist even after controlling for a numbe…
Doing Family, Doing Gender, Doing Religion
The relationships among family, gender ideology, and religion appear more heterogeneous and tenuous than family scholars have expected, with conservative religious belief not necessarily translating into conservative familial behavior. In this article, I suggest the perspective of structured ambivalence as a theoretical framework for better understanding how religion may affect family life. I discuss conceptual and methodological issues as well a…
Relationship violence in young adulthood
Race-ethnic differences in marital quality and divorce
Cohabitation Among Older Adults
Older cohabitors differ from individuals of other marital statuses, and therefore future work on marital status should explicitly incorporate cohabitation
The Significance of Nonmarital Cohabitation
Our findings demonstrate the importance of accounting for nontraditional living arrangements among persons aged 50 and older. Cohabitation appears to be more consequential for men's than women's depressive symptoms
Change and Consistency in the Relation of Marital Status to Personal Happiness
Several studies conducted in the late 1980s suggested that the effect of marital status on personal happiness was declining, meaning that the “happiness gap” between married and never-married persons was diminishing. Speculations about the causes of this diminishing positive effect of marriage ranged from changing values to the increasing role overload of married women. But there was some evidence that the decline in the “happiness gap” had rever…
