Avoidance, awareness, or acceptance
Emerging adulthood is characterized by heightened risks to unwanted sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes, particularly for young women. In the U.S., school-based sexual education programs often prioritize abstinence, leaving youth without comprehensive information on avoiding pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. In this context, parental communication about SRH is vital to increase SRH knowledge and contraceptive autonomy. Howe…

Needing Space During Lockdown
The COVID-19 pandemic upended home life for couples across the globe. Many couples faced increased relational uncertainty and interference from a partner as a result of stay at home and lockdown orders. This study uses relational turbulence theory to examine how (a) relational uncertainty and (b) partner interdependence are associated with cognitions and emotions about needing space conversations with a partner. We examine links between perceptio…
I Just Wasn’t Thinking”
Heterosexual university students continue to endorse sexual scripts that preference men's desire and sustain gendered power imbalances in sexual relationships and encounters, leading women to risk pregnancy by engaging in unprotected sex. Because young women also endorse norms encouraging them to protect themselves and their partners from unintended pregnancy, women are caught in a bind between two often competing norms. We conducted semi-structu…
Difficult Conversations
Norms, Trust, and Backup Plans
This study integrates research on contraceptive prevalence with research on contraceptive dynamics in hookup culture to examine college women's use of withdrawal with sexual partners. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 57 women at a midwestern U.S. university, we analyzed women's explanations for using withdrawal for pregnancy prevention and framed our study within the research on gender norms, sexual scripts, and power dynamics. Findings showed…
Young Adult Women’s Aspirations for Education and Career in Qatar
Settling down without settling
The goal of this study was to explore the positive association between concern related to COVID-19 and single individuals’ perceived changes to their partner preferences. In addition, we investigated the mediating role of fear of being single. Results indicated that people with greater COVID-19 concern perceived an increase in the importance of stability, family commitment, and physical/social attractiveness, as well as fear of being single. Fear…
Meanings of Women’s Agency
The measurement of women’s agency poses numerous challenges, including multi-dimensionality and context-specificity. This challenge is especially large for non-Western contexts that adapt measurement instruments without rigorous testing and comprehensive understanding of construct meanings in place. In this paper, we present a case study from Qatar where we investigate the face validity, comprehension and functionality of women’s agency scale ite…
Cognitive interviewing to improve women's empowerment questions in surveys
In 2015, the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals, which include fostering gender equality and women's empowerment and ending hunger and malnutrition. To monitor progress and evaluate programmes that aim to achieve these goals, survey instruments are needed that can accurately assess related indicators. The project-level Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (pro-WEAI) is being developed to address the need for an instrumen…
Conflicting contraceptive norms for men
Most research investigating how men and women in heterosexual relationships negotiate contraceptive use focuses on the women's point of view. Using a sample of 44 interviews with men attending a western US university, this study examines norms governing men's participation in contraceptive use and pregnancy prevention and their responses to those norms. The paper demonstrates how competing norms around sexual health decision-making and women's bo…
Strategic Silence
Condom use among college men in the United States is notoriously erratic, yet we know little about these men's approaches to other contraceptives. In this paper, accounts from 44 men attending a university in the western United States reveal men's reliance on culturally situated ideas about gender, social class, race, and age in assessing the risk of pregnancy and STI acquisition in sexual encounters with women. Men reason that race- and class-pr…
Gender-Equitable Parental Decision Making and Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration in Bangladesh
ObjectiveThis article examines the relationship between the exposure of men as children to gender-equitable parental decision making and the potential for subsequent later life engagement in intimate partner violence (IPV) in Bangladesh.BackgroundAlthough researchers have recently begun to explore multilevel influences on IPV perpetration, no studies have examined how decision making between parents at home and within the community relates to IPV…
Multilevel influences on depressive symptoms among men in Bangladesh
Depression is a worldwide problem, and is especially prevalent in lower-income countries with insufficient resources and widespread poverty, such as Bangladesh. Yet multilevel determinants of depressive symptoms in men have not been studied in this context. We leverage a novel dataset from men in Bangladesh to determine the community- and individual-level influences of masculine dominance strain and financial strain on the frequency of married me…
Men’s perpetration of partner violence in Bangladesh
Men's perpetration of intimate partner violence (IPV) is common, but its multilevel determinants are understudied. We leveraged novel data from a probability sample of 570 junior men (married, 18-34 years) from 50 urban and 62 rural communities who took part in the Bangladesh survey of the 2011 UN Multi-Country Study of Men and Violence . We tested whether more equitable community gender norms among senior men (N=938; married, 35-49 years) was ne…
The association of attitudes about contraceptives with contraceptive use in a random sample of Colorado women
In addition to addressing structural barriers to contraception, interventions to address the need to plan for contraception are vital to mitigate the high prevalence of unintended pregnancies in the United States
The Patriarchal Bargain in a Context of Rapid Changes to Normative Gender Roles
Growing Old Behind Bars
This study demonstrates the complexity of health for elderly inmates. Prison health should continue to be monitored to aid correctional and community health programs in understanding clinical risks, exposures, and health care needs for this population
Family Resources in Two Generations and School Readiness Among Children of Teen Parents
Low-Income Women's Navigation of Childbearing Norms Throughout the Reproductive Life Course
Shifts in family structure have affected age norms about both teenage childbearing and reproductive sterilization, but we lack research examining how childbearing norms are connected across the reproductive life course. Drawing on interviews from 40 low-income women in Colorado, we explored linkages between early childbearing and the desire for early sterilization. Specifically, we examined two narratives women use to negotiate competing norms th…
Do Depressive Symptoms in Male and Female Adolescents Predict Unintended Births in Emerging Adulthood
How Resource Dynamics Explain Accumulating Developmental and Health Disparities for Teen Parents’ Children
This study examines the puzzle of disparities experienced by U.S. teen parents’ young children, whose health and development increasingly lag behind those of peers while their parents are simultaneously experiencing socioeconomic improvements. Using the nationally representative Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (2001–2007; N ≈ 8,600), we assess four dynamic patterns in socioeconomic resources that might account for these growing de…
Health Lifestyles in Early Childhood
This study integrates two important developments, the concept of health lifestyles (which has focused on adults and adolescents) and the increased attention to early childhood. We introduce the concept of children's health lifestyles, identifying differences from adult health lifestyles and articulating intergenerational transmission and socialization processes shaping children's health lifestyles. Using the nationally representative Early Childh…
Fundamental dimensions of social judgment
In seems there are two dimensions that underlie most judgments of traits, people, groups, and cultures. Although the definitions vary, the first makes reference to attributes such as competence, agency, and individualism, and the second to warmth, communality, and collectivism. But the relationship between the two dimensions seems unclear. In trait and person judgment, they are often positively related; in group and cultural stereotypes, they are…
