What is your type? Latent classes of newly married couples' gender ideologies
Objective This study aims to understand how married couples agree or disagree on gender ideologies, as well as what sociodemographic characteristics are related to these pairings. Background Past studies have explored the multidimensional nature of gender ideologies within individuals; however, this multidimensionality at the couple level is less understood. Although some research suggests couples will largely agree on gender ideologies, other th…
For richer, for poorer
Adopting feminist and intersectional perspectives, this study focused on gendered experiences in financial communication, power dynamics, and social sabotage across lower- versus higher-income couples. Three-wave, dyadic data were collected from 1,093 married couples between 2020 and 2022, covering the period before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Employing a random-intercept, actor-partner interdependence cross-lagged panel model (i.e.…
Racial differences in adoption expectations
Pennies and power
For richer, for poorer
Guided by an intersectional feminism framework, we used three‐wave, dyadic survey data from a nationally representative sample of 1625 U.S. different‐gender newlywed couples to test three research questions. First, as balanced power is considered a key concept for relational well‐being in feminism, we examined developmental trajectories in husbands' and wives' perception of power (im)balance. Second, considering money as a major influence on powe…
Parental mental health and child anxiety during the Covid‐19 pandemic in Latin America
This study examined parents’ ( N = 10,141, 64% women) reports of their and their childrens’ depression, anxiety, and stress in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina. The data come from the COVID‐19 Family Life Study (Ben Brik, 2020) and cohort recruited between April and December 2020. Participants completed online surveys that included the DASS‐21 and the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale. Our findings indicate that socio‐economically d…
Change in Financial Stress and Relational Wellbeing During Covid-19
Associations between sexual music lyrics and sexting across adolescence
There has been little research on the impact of media on sexting behaviors in adolescence, and none regarding the influence of musical lyrics. The goal of the current study was to explore these associations in a longitudinal investigation. Participants were 278 fourteen-year-old adolescents (all cisgender, 49.46% female) who were assessed at three different time points. Participants completed several questionnaires (including music preferences) a…
Relational communication as a moderator for links between family of origin adversity and marital satisfaction
Financial communication as a mediator between financial values and marital outcomes
Contextualizing Maternal Education and Child Health in Sub-Saharan Africa
We examined how the relationship between maternal education and child health varies across women’s status and safety using pooled Demographic and Health Survey data from 24 sub-Saharan African countries. While maternal education was associated with less child stunting, wasting, and underweight, the effect of maternal education on stunting and underweight was attenuated among women who experienced high levels of intimate partner violence (IPV). Fu…
All’s not fair in love and work
Using Social Exchange Theory (SET) and an actor-partner interdependence model (APIM), we examine direct and indirect associations among financial distress, work-family spillover, and relationship satisfaction. Data come from wave 3 of the Couple Relationships and Transition Experiences (CREATE) study: a dyadic, nationally-representative sample of U.S. newlyweds (N = 1,044 opposite-sex, dual-earner couples). We found wives’ and husbands’ financial…
Exploring Influences of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Family Communication
In the context of the shutdowns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we explored communication processes within families through both qualitative and quantitative means. A panel survey of 1,510 adults (1,059 parents) in the United States was administered during the summer of 2020 (June 18–July 22). Summary quantitative data are presented. Nearly half (N = 624) also chose to respond to five, open-ended, qualitative questions. From these data, diverse…
Family Dinners and Family Relationships following the Initial Onset of the Covid-19 Pandemic
In the context of the COVID-19 shutdowns, we explored associations between family dinner and family well-being among 731 adult parents in the United States who currently had at least one child residing in their home. The panel survey was administered during the summer of 2020 (June 18 through July 22). Participants were asked to respond to questions about relational processes before the COVID-19 shutdowns, at the height of the shutdowns, and curr…

Using a survey of 1,510 adults in the United States administered during the summer of 2020, we employed a mixed methods approach. Significant associations were found between the frequency of engaging in spiritual practices and r…
Changes in Home-Centered Religious Practices and Relational Wellbeing following the Initial Onset of the Covid-19 Pandemic
We explored associations between changes in the frequency of home-centered religious practices and family relational conflict, emotional closeness, and the perceived long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on relationships. The panel survey of 1,510 adult individuals in the United States, was administered during the summer of 2020. Given our interest in understanding changes in religious practices following the COVID-19 related closures of reli…
Money to Marriage, or Marriage to Money? Examining the Directionality Between Financial Processes and Marital Processes Among Newlywed Couples
Researchers have shown that if couples manage their money in sound ways, their marriages may benefit. Scholars have also shown that the quality of a marriage may precede positive financial behaviors. Previous studies have not determined the directionality of these processes, but researchers have assumed that it flows from financial variables to marital satisfaction. Utilizing a sample of U.S. mixed-gender, newlywed dyads ( N = 1220), we examined …
Yours, mine, or ours
The relationship between an individual's financial behavior and financial satisfaction is well known. Less evidence is available about how these two constructs interplay within couples. This considered, the current paper aims to (a) examine whether individuals' financial satisfaction is influenced by their own financial behavior (actor effect) and their partner's financial behavior (partner effect); (b) examine whether these two effects vary betw…

Is It Still Possible to Collect Nationally Representative Marriage Data in the United States? A Case Study From the CREATE Project
Objective To understand challenges in the data collection environment for collecting nationally representative data and discuss one study's response to these challenges. Background The United States is undergoing impressive and transformational social change related to marriage. Social scientists' ability to study such changes are contingent on being able to minimize sampling error (the difference between the sample and the population), accomplis…
Relationship quality and support for family policy during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
Best friends forever and family ties
During adolescence, the need for social connection increases. Yet, fostering emotional closeness in relationships becomes more complex, as the need for autonomy also increases and social environments must adapt to become conducive to these seemingly competing needs. This complexity necessitates more research on what happens to close relationships during adolescence to better equip parents, scholars, and practitioners are in helping individuals na…
Missing Piece of the Puzzle
The presence of and search for meaning has divergent and salient outcomes for individuals’ physical, mental, and emotional well‐being. Although numerous domains of meaning have been examined, the literature on the meaning of sex is sparse and lacks a quantitative measure. In this study, we evaluated a new general Meaning of Sex (MOS) Measure that captured the presence of (MOS‐P) and search for (MOS‐S) the meaning of sex by analyzing how these sub…
Religion and Socioeconomic Attainment in Ghana
Gender and Socioeconomic Status Differences in First and Second Marriage Formation
In this article, we address how first and second marriages are formed by asking whether SES has similar effects on first and second marriage entry. Like many studies of first marriage, we focus on gender, socioeconomic characteristics (education, income, and employment status), and gender differences in the effect of SES. To examine this question, we use the NLSY79 (n = 12,231 never-married and 3,695 divorced persons), discrete-time logistic regr…
The Kenya Masai
Opening ParagraphExisting accounts of the Masai may be broadly grouped under three heads: (1) The popular impressionist accounts of the tribe by travellers in East Africa; the numerous travel works on this part of Africa nearly all contain some mention of the tribe, but in the main, these descriptions are calculated for their dramatic effect, and thus become largely inaccurate and valueless for the serious student. (2) Studies of the tribe such a…

I'm Scared because Divorce Sucks
Previous studies have suggested that parental divorce influences the relational beliefs and orientation toward marriage of adolescents and emerging adults. Most of this previous work has been limited to links between parental divorce and global attitudes toward marriage or attitudes toward divorce. Using a mixed-method design, the current study explored links between parental divorce and various aspects of emerging adults' marital paradigms using…
Does family reunification from residential care facilities serve children's best interest? A propensity-score matching approach in Ghana
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…

Longitudinal Patterns of Women's Marital Quality
Previous work on marital quality has compared average levels of marital quality by demographic characteristics, such as cohabitation, divorce, or race-ethnicity. Less work has examined whether such differences persist over time. To begin to answer this question, this paper uses multigroup latent growth curves to examine changes in marital quality over time in addition to measuring differences in levels of reported marital quality among cohabitors…

Attachment Development in Adolescent Romantic Relationships
Romantic relationships provide a meaningful context from which individuals can develop attachment security and find fulfillment for their emotional and physical attachment needs. The process for developing attachment security in adolescent romantic relationships is not well documented. A new model is proposed outlining the context and processes wherein adolescent romantic attachment security can develop. The contextual role of one's family of ori…

What Does Marriage Mean to Us? Marital Centrality among Newlywed Couples
With marriage now delayed until later in the life course, developmental and young adult scholars have increasingly focused on how relational and marital beliefs of unmarried young adults influence developmental and relational trajectories. Yet little research has explored how these same perceptions and beliefs may alter adult relationships and marriages. Using a national U.S. sample of 1,755 newlywed couples, we explored how beliefs about the cen…

Social Capital and Age at Sexual Debut
Literature on social capital has long considered whether and how social capital is protective against various risk behaviors, including age at sexual debut. However, much of this literature uses data from wealthy countries in the Global North and is often cross-sectional, dampening generalizability. In this paper, we employ longitudinal South African data from adolescents in the Cape Area Panel Study to examine the longitudinal link between socia…
Covid-19 in Ghana
As a lower-middle income country, Ghana is noted for having a progressive economy, health system, and family trends. However, COVID-19, with it associated restrictions, has brought changes to various aspects of Ghanaians' lives. In this paper, we review information from government websites, online media websites, social media, academic articles, and anecdotal evidence to track changes brought about by the pandemic. Specifically, we focus on econo…
The effects of premarital education promotion policies on U.S. divorce rates
Currently, 10 states have enacted policies to promote premarital education and counseling. However, no research has documented whether these policies have actually decreased divorce rates in implementing states. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of premarital education promotion policies on divorce rates. First, we conducted an implementation study to understand how well each state implemented the policy. A combination of methods…

Temporal Differences in Remarriage Timing
One gap in the remarriage literature to date concerns the timing of remarriage among different groups. This paper begins to fill this gap by examining the tempo of remarriage among individuals whose first marriages ended in divorce and individuals whose first marriages ended in spousal death. Drawing on event-history models, the results suggest that divorced individuals remarry quicker than individuals whose first marriage ended in spousal death.…
Reassessing the Link between Women's Premarital Cohabitation and Marital Quality
Using data from 2,898 women from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1979, we employ a novel method to examine two perspectives, social selection and the experience of cohabitation, commonly used to explain the negative relationship outcomes cohabiting women report. Results reveal cohabitation is negatively related to marital happiness and communication and positively related to conflict. As in previous research, selection mechanisms appear…

Changes in Marital Beliefs Among Emerging Adults
Although research on marital beliefs among emerging adults has increased in recent years, most studies assume that marital beliefs are static features of emerging adulthood. Using a sample of 134 emerging adults in the United States tracked over a 1-year period, we explored if these emerging adults exhibited changes in their marital beliefs over time and what predicted such changes. We found that emerging adults in the sample showed significant g…

Kathleen Jenkins is certainly not the first person to study the tension between religious/family values and cultural individualism.

This chapter explores beliefs that emerging adults hold about mate selection, or the process people go through to select romantic partners. An overview is provided of mate-selection theories, and the main themes that emerged from the interview data are detailed. Emerging adults appear to desire very different things when it comes to short-term and long-term dating partners, and this creates a unique paradox because emerging adults must shift thei…
