Nourishing Educational Success
This analysis extends previous research on the relationship between healthy eating habits and adolescent educational outcomes by examining long-term, rather than proximate, associations. Utilizing self-reported survey data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), we evaluate the correlations between healthy eating and student high school grades and high school completion. The results of the analysis partially support the hypo…
Encouraging or Obstructing? Assessing Factors That Impact Faculty Engagement in Undergraduate Research Mentoring
At colleges and universities around the world, faculty serve a critical role in supporting the well-documented practice of undergraduate research, scholarly and creative activity. Using unique data from an online survey of faculty members (n = 223) at three colleges and universities in the United States, we investigate the individual and institutional factors that facilitate or inhibit faculty members’ willingness to provide undergraduate student…
The Autonomy Paradox
Nonstandard work schedules have important consequences for workers in the new economy. Using unique data on the work times of Internet-based freelancers, specifically, self-employed professionals participating in a Russian-language online labor market ( N = 4,280), the authors find that working at night has adverse effects on workers' subjective well-being as measured by satisfaction with work-life balance, life satisfaction, and emotional exhaus…
Masculinity and Virgin-Shaming Among College Men
This project explores “virgin-shaming,” a phenomenon whereby an individual is called out or made fun of for lacking sexual experience among college men. To investigate this phenomenon, interviews were conducted with 10 men enrolled at one university. Analysis revealed three key findings. First, having sex is often held as a marker of status or achievement of hegemonic masculinity. Second, virgin-shaming is found in social spaces more concerned wi…
Work value orientations and worker well-being in the new economy
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to integrate work values research with the Job Demands–Resources model to assess the role that work value orientations play in self-employed workers’ subjective well-being. Design/methodology/approach The paper analyzes unique data on freelancers participating in an online labor market ( n =9,984). Findings Intrinsic work values are associated with greater subjective well-being, whereas extrinsic work values a…
Sociology, Theory, and the Feminist Sociological Canon
In this article, I revisit the concept of "doing gender" to query whether the framework as directly articulated by West and Zimmerman is meant to be a description of social life (a social theory) or a testable and potentially falsifiable explanation of the empirical world (a sociological theory). I document how much of the research that uses "doing gender" is a misapplication of the concept as a social, rather than sociological, theory. I conclud…
Context, Opportunity, and Demands
Given the burgeoning literature on the workfamily nexus, the dearth of scholarship on satisfaction with work-life balance is surprising. In this paper, we use multi-level models to build on the Demand-Resource model to predict satisfaction with work-life balance among partnered individuals in 26 European countries (N = 7,990). We find support for individual-level measures of work and non-work lives influencing work-life balance satisfaction. We a…
How Early Life Religious Exposure Relates to the Timing of First Birth
This article examines intermediary processes explaining how religious socialization and involvement early in life are related to the timing of first births for women in the United States. The theory of conjunctural action forms the basis for hypotheses for how religious schemas and materials operate to influence birth timing. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data and event history methods, the study finds evidence for expected fami…
Religion, Infidelity, and Divorce
Previous scholarship linking marital infidelity and divorce has tended to have 2 limitations: focusing on young marriages and overlooking the influence of religiosity. Using data from the panel study of Marital Instability over the Life Course (N = 763), we address both of these limitations. Using structural equation modeling and proportional hazards modeling, we examine the effect of religiosity on marital infidelity and subsequent divorce among…

Theoretical Explanations Amid Social Change
Three main theoretical frameworks are used to explain the division of household labor: time availability, relative resources, and gender ideology. Examining 162 regression equations from 62 articles published from 1975 to 2012, we examine whether there has been a change in the likelihood that the three theoretical frameworks find empirical support over time. We find no evidence to suggest that there has been a declining significance of the three …
Self-Efficacy and Multicultural Teacher Education in the United States
A growing body of scholarship in the United States focuses on the “multicultural” dispositions, ideologies, and attitudes that teachers carry from preservice training into classroom practice. However, little attention has been paid to the dispositions, ideologies, and attitudes of multicultural teacher educators—those tasked with preparing teachers to teach multiculturally. This scholarly gap limits understandings of how and by whom this preparat…
From the Great Recession to Greater Gender Equality? Family Mobility and the Intersection of Race, Class, and Gender
In the early stages of the recent recession, men were disproportionately among the ranks of the unemployed. Current economic times provide a researchable moment, as more women are likely to be in positions of power vis-à-vis earnings. This article uses a unique nationally representative dataset of married individuals (n = 158) to examine expected level of support for relocation if the respondent's spouse were offered a hypothetical job opportunit…
The role of 'workplace family' support on worker health, exhaustion and pain
The goal of this study was to improve understanding of the potential health benefits of social support at work. We utilized 2002 GSS data to examine the relative influence of workplace support on self-reported health, exhaustion and experience of persistent pain in a sample of 1602 workers. Building on previous Demand-Control-Support models, we examined co-worker, supervisor, and organizational safety support (conceptualized as ‘workplace family’…
Support, Demands, and Gender Ideology
Only recently have researchers begun to investigate issues surrounding the work experiences of individuals in late midlife. This article contributes to the literature on work–family facilitation and conflict among older workers. I focus specifically on the extent to which gender ideology is associated with facilitation and conflict and whether that relationship differs for women and men. Using a sample of older workers (n = 2,253), I find that ge…
Culture, Context, or Religion
This article examines whether the relationship between religious participation and marriage behaviors for low-income single mothers is influenced by social norms and structural factors that promote the formation of traditional families. Specifically, we test whether religious participation encourages marriage generally or whether a specific type of marriage is encouraged (e.g., marriage to the baby's biological father). Using data from the Fragil…
The Answer Doesn’t Seem to Change, so Maybe We Should Change the Question
Is Justice Contextual? Married Women's Perceptions of Fairness of the Division of Household Labor in 12 Nations
Distributive justice theory argues that individuals make fairness decisions partly by comparing themselves to similarly situated others. Utilizing fixed effects analyses of 4,643 married women nested in 12 nations from the l 991 International Social Justice Project, this paper examines whether the relationship between the division of household labor and perceptions of fairness of that division was informed by such comparisons. Specifically, this …
Adolescent Gender Ideology Socialization
Previous research examining the intergenerational transmission of gender ideology focuses generally on the influence of mothers' beliefs. This article extends the understanding of gender ideology construction and transmission in two important ways. Utilizing data from the child sample of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (N = 206), we examine the construction of adolescent gender ideology via mothers' and fathers' gender beliefs. Fur…

Gender Ideology
The purpose of this article is to review research on the construction of gender ideology and its consequences. The article begins with a summary of research focused on measuring gender ideology-individuals' levels of support for a division of paid work and family responsibilities that is based on the belief in gendered separate spheres. We describe the ways this concept has been operationalized in widely available data sources and provide a categ…
Adolescents' Work-Family Gender Ideologies and Educational Expectations
Much empirical research has been devoted to examining how early life socialization and experiences shape adolescent aspirations. This article adds to this body of research by examining adolescent educational expectations at a crucial developmental stage with a focus on ideational processes. The authors test hypotheses derived from the Eccles et al. model of achievement-related choices regarding links between the previously neglected concept of wo…
Effects of Union Type on Division of Household Labor
Using data from 17,636 respondents in 28 nations, this research uses multilevel modeling to compare the reported division of household labor and factors affecting it for currently married and currently cohabiting couples. Cohabiting men report performing more household labor than do married men, and cohabiting women report performing less household labor than do married women. The findings provide support for the time-availability, relative-resou…

Cross‐national variations in the division of household labor
Using data from the International Social Justice Project, we describe the division of household labor in married couple households using a sample of 13 nations ( N = 10,153). We find significant differences in the division of household labor based upon respondents’ nations of residence. We find support for the time availability approach; households where the wife is employed outside the home for pay are more likely to respond that husbands perfor…

Interactive Effects of Gender Ideology and Age at First Marriage on Women's Marital Disruption
A sample of ever-married women from the NLSY79 is analyzed to examine the effects of age at first marriage and gender ideology on the likelihood of experiencing marital disruption. The authors hypothesize that age at first marriage will have no effect on the likelihood of experiencing marital disruption for non-traditional women, but that there will be a strong negative effect for traditional women. The authors use the log-rate model for piecewis…

Sex Stereotypes in Commercials Targeted Toward Children
This article reports the results of a content analysis of 467 commercial characters in the programming between children's cartoons. Replicating and expanding upon Smith's (1994) research, the findings reveal that being in a major role, having active movement in an individual activity, and being in an occupational setting all significantly increase the likelihood of an actor being male. It is suggested that media perpetuation of these stereotypes …
