    Open AccessMegha Garg, Mellissa S Gordon et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2025Referências: 48

    To examine whether parent–child communication, measured separately for mothers and fathers, directly influences the coping strategies (active, distraction, and problem‐focused) used by early adolescents, and whether this association was mediated by sibling support. Parent–child relationship has been found to influence the coping strategies that children use. Additionally, according to Family Systems theory, sibling relationships are an integral p…

    Open AccessMellissa S Gordon, Christine Mccauley OhannessianARTICLEYouth & Society2024Referências: 34

    Research investigating social media use typically focus on late adolescents and young adults, despite a growing number of early adolescents, 93% to 97%—having at least one social media platform. Also, early adolescents are more likely to engage with newer sites, such as Snapchat and Instagram, than older platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Given the evolving landscape of social media, the present study examines the impact of the use of variou…

  • Understanding CRT and its implications for family science

    Open AccessD M Dow, Mellissa S GordonARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2024Citada por: 1Referências: 123

    Family science has been slow to incorporate critical race theory (CRT) into research on family experiences and outcomes. Discussions of CRT often reduce it to one idea when it is comprised of several key tenets, including the social construction of race, racism as normal and commonplace, critiques of the liberal state, interest convergence, counterstorytelling, intersectionality and anti-essentialism, and Whiteness as a form of property. CRT scho…

    The primary purpose of this study was to examine whether social relationship factors are associated with trajectories of depressive symptoms from adolescence into emerging adulthood. Specifically, adolescent-parent communication with mothers and fathers, peer support, and sibling warmth and hostility were examined in relation to depressive symptoms for girls and boys. Adolescents (N = 372; M age = 16.09; SD = .69; 55% female) from the Mid-Atlanti…

  • The Intersection of Race and Community Poverty and Its Effects on Adolescents' Academic Achievement

    Open AccessMellissa S Gordon, Ming CuiARTICLEYouth & Society2018Citada por: 3Referências: 23

    Although most studies have established the importance of individual-level influences on adolescent outcomes, studies are often limited in that they do not address the effects of broader community-level factors. To address this limitation, we examined the association between community-level poverty and adolescents' academic achievement, and the role of race in this association. Results from multilevel modeling suggested that (a) regardless of comm…

    With most current studies focusing on the snapshot of family structure and offspring relationship outcomes, this study examined how children's exposure to mothers' cumulative relationship history affected the likelihood of their own romantic involvement in adolescence and relationship frequency from adolescence to young adulthood. Using a large, nationally representative dataset, this study found that the number of mothers' relationship transitio…

    Open AccessMing Cui, K Ueno et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2013Citada por: 29Referências: 49

    Little attention has been paid to whether violence in adolescent romantic relationships is associated with relationship violence later in young adulthood. This study examined the continuation of intimate partner violence (IPV) from adolescence to young adulthood. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, results from negative binomial models and propensity score models showed that being victimized by relationship partn…
