No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from Wiley-Blackwell. This version of the document is not the version of record. Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document.*** ***Note: Footnotes and endnotes indicated with parentheses Abstract: With the acceleration of the divorce rate from the mid- 1960s to the early 1980s, the number of nontraditional families (such as single-parent families and reconstituted families) have increased relative to intact, first-time nuclear families, This article reviews empirical evidence addressing the relationship between divorce, family composition, and children's well-being. Although not entirely consistent, the pattern of empirical findings suggests that children's emotional adjustment, gender-role orientation, and antisocial behavior are affected by family structure, whereas other dimensions of well-being are unaffected. But the review indicates that these findings should be interpreted with caution because of the methodological deficiencies of many of the studies on which these findings are based. Several variables, including the level of family conflict, may be central variables mediating the effect of family structure on children. Article: High divorce rates in the United States over the past 20 years have resulted in numerous changes in American family life, with perhaps the most important consequences bearing on children whose families were disrupted, In 1970, 12% of American families with children under age 18 were headed by single parents.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The present series of studies aimed to examine the reliability and validity of an interview-based assessment of adults’ security of attachment. Security of attachment in early childhood has been given well-established operational definitions (secure versus insecure) by the Strange Situation paradigm which has been shown to predict children’s future emotional well­ being. However, it is only recently that the Adult Attachment Interview was proposed as a corollary assessment of attachment security in adulthood. The work reported in this thesis investigates, from a number of perspectives, the reliability and validity of this interview-based assessment. In the context of an extensive review of the literature concerning the influence of early childhood experience upon subsequent development, the introductory chapter highlights a number of areas critical to the establishment of the construct validity of the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI).

  • Changes in Marriage and Fertility Behavior
    U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation Office of Disability, Aging and Long-Term Care Policy CHANGES IN MARRIAGE AND FERTILITY BEHAVIOR: BEHAVIOR VERSUS ATTITUDES OF YOUNG ADULTS July 1989 Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) is the principal advisor to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on policy development issues, and is responsible for major activities in the areas of legislative and budget development, strategic planning, policy research and evaluation, and economic analysis. ASPE develops or reviews issues from the viewpoint of the Secretary, providing a perspective that is broader in scope than the specific focus of the various operating agencies. ASPE also works closely with the HHS operating divisions. It assists these agencies in developing policies, and planning policy research, evaluation and data collection within broad HHS and administration initiatives. ASPE often serves a coordinating role for crosscutting policy and administrative activities. ASPE plans and conducts evaluations and research--both in-house and through support of projects by external researchers--of current and proposed programs and topics of particular interest to the Secretary, the Administration and the Congress. This report was prepared under grants #HD21537-03 and #SES8501616 between HHS’s Office of Social Services Policy (now the Office of Disability, Aging and Long- Term Care Policy) and Child Trends, Inc. Additional funding was provided by HHS’s National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

  • Changing Family Structures and Their Impact on the Care of Older People
    Centre for Policy on Ageing – Review Changing family structures and their impact on the care of older people May 2014 Changing family structures and their impact on the care of older people. Summary Families in the UK are changing. This brief review looks at how changing family structures will influence the supply and demand for formal and informal care by older people? • Most informal care for older people is provided by partners and adult children. Changes in family structure, whether it may be from having fewer children and starting families later, increased levels of marital disruption and more complex family relationships or greater geographical separation of families, may have an effect on the availability of care. • The change factors often work against each other or appear to be having less effect than might be thought. While reduced family size reduces the number of children available to be carers, increasing male longevity, getting closer to that for women, increases the availability of spouses as carers. • Increased divorce rates, particularly among the over 60s, may help to increase the number of older people living alone and weaken relationships between parents and children, but a 2008 study1 found that, overall, partnership dissolution did not show the expected detrimental relationship with later‐life support. • PSSRU modelling of the future supply and demand for care and support from adult children to disabled older parents seems to show a potential shortfall from 2017 but summary findings of a workshop to consider ‘The

  • Changes in Adolescents' Interpersonal
    JOURNAL OF RESEARCH ON ADOLESCENCE, 12(1), 31–68 Copyright © 2002, Society for Research on Adolescence Changes in Adolescents’ Interpersonal Experiences: Are They Being Prepared for Adult Relationships in the Twenty-First Century? Reed W. Larson and Suzanne Wilson University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign B. Bradford Brown University of Wisconsin, Madison Frank F. Furstenberg, Jr. University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Suman Verma Government Home Science College, Chandigarh Trends across nations suggest that adulthood in the future will require greater social versatility, including abilities to function in relationships that are less scripted by community norms and that bridge multiple social worlds. This article assesses whether current changes in adolescents’ inter- personal experience are likely to give them the social resources and compe- tencies they will need. Changes in families are making them smaller, more diverse in social capital, and more responsive to adolescents. Changes in ad- olescents’ nonfamily experience include more time in institutional settings; more involvement with peers; and more cycles of developing (and ending) relationships with a heterogeneous set of adults, friends, and, for many, ro- mantic partners. The analysis suggests that these changes will provide many youth with greater opportunities to develop the more versatile interpersonal resources required in the future, but that many adolescents will have re- stricted opportunities to acquire these resources.

  • The Relationship Between Family Structure and Adolescent Sexual Activity
    No. 1 | November 2008 The Relationship Between Family Structure and Adolescent Sexual Activity Samuel W. Sturgeon A database of social science findings on the family, society, and religion gleaned from peer- reviewed journals, familyfacts.org seeks to make social science research easily accessible to non-specialists, including policymakers, journalists, scholars, and the general public. Published by The Heritage Foundation 214 Massachusetts Avenue, NE | Washington, DC 20002 | (202) 546-4400 | heritage.org Abstract This paper provides a systematic review of the research literature examining the relationship between family structure and adolescent sexual activity. Adolescents from intact family structures tend to delay sexual initiation until a significantly older age than their peers from non-intact family backgrounds. Adolescents from intact families are less likely to have ever had sexual intercourse, have had on average fewer sexual partners, are less likely to report a sexually transmitted disease, and are less likely to have ever experienced a pregnancy or live birth when compared to their peers from non-intact families. However, the effects of family structure on all adolescent sexual outcomes other than sexual debut tend to operate primarily through the delay in sexual debut experienced by adolescents from intact families. Age, race, and gender differences are discussed, as well as methodological challenges associated with the study of family structure and adolescent sexual outcomes. Produced by familyfacts.org © 2008 by The Heritage Foundation 214 Massachusetts Avenue, N.E.
