Data are from the NLSY and the National Household Education Survey. Socioeconomic status (SES) is one of the most widely studied constructs in the social sciences. Several ways of measuring SES have been proposed, but most include some quantification of family income, parental education, and occupational status. Research shows that SES is associated with a wide array of health, cognitive, and socioemotional outcomes in children, with effects beginning prior to birth and continuing into adulthood. A variety of mechanisms linking SES to child well-being have been proposed, with most involving differences in access to material and social resources or reactions to stress-inducing conditions by both the children themselves and their parents. For children, SES impacts well-being at multiple levels, including both family and neighborhood. Its effects are moderated by children's own characteristics, family characteristics, and external support systems. (PsycINFO Database Record c.) BRADLEY, ROBERT H. CORWYN, ROBERT FLYNN BURCHINAL, MARGARET R. MCADOO, HARRIET PIPES COLL, CYNTHIA GARCIA Home Environments of Children in the United States Part II: Relations with Behavioral Development through Age Thirteen Child Development 72 (November/December 2001): 1868-1886 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 ID Number: 4031 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley InterScience This study examined the frequency with which children were exposed to various parental actions, materials, events, and conditions as part of their home environments, and how these exposures related to their well-being. Part 1 focused on variations by age, ethnicity, and poverty status. In Part 2, relations between major aspects of the home environment (including maternal responsiveness, learning stimulation and spanking) and developmental outcomes for children from birth through age 13 were investigated. The outcomes examined were early motor and social development. vocabulary development, achievement, and behavior problems. These relations were examined in both poor and nonpoor European American, African American, and Hispanic American families using hierarchial linear modeling. The most consistent relations found were those between learning stimulation and children's developmental status, with relations for responsiveness and spanking varying as a function of outcome, age, ethnicity, and poverty status. The evidence indicated slightly stronger relations for younger as compared with older children. BRADLEY, ROBERT H. CORWYN, ROBERT FLYNN MCADOO, HARRIET PIPES COLL, CYNTHIA GARCIA Home Environments of Children in the United States Part I: Variations by Age, Ethnicity, and Poverty Status Child Development 72,6 (November-December 2001): 1844-1867 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 ID Number: 3840 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley InterScience Although measures of the home environment have gained wide acceptance in the child development literature, what constitutes the "average" or "typical" home environment in the United States, and how this differs across ethnic groups and poverty status is not known. Item-level data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth on four age-related versions of the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment-Short Form (HOME-SF) from five biennial assessments (1986-1994) were analyzed for the total sample and for four major ethnic groups. European Americans, Asian Americans, African Americans, and Hispanic Americans. The percentages of homes receiving credit on each item of all four versions of the HOME-SF are described. For the majority of items at all four age levels differences between poor and nonpoor families were noted. Differences were also obtained among African American, European American, and Hispanic American families, but the magnitude of the effect for poverty status was greater than for ethnicity, and usually absorbed most of the ethnic group effects on HOME-SF items. For every item at every age, the effects of poverty were proportional across European American, African American, and Hispanic American groups. CORWYN, ROBERT FLYNN Factor Structure of Global Self-Esteem among Adolescents and Adults Journal of Research in Personality 34,4 (December 2000): 357-379 Cohort(s): NLSY79 ID Number: 3677 Publisher: Academic Press, Inc. Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES; Rosenberg, 1965). Despite its frequent use, the factor structure of the RSES remains unclear. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the CFA approach to analyzing multitrait-multimethod data were used to evaluate eight competing models of the factor structure of the RSES. The models were evaluated within three diverse samples and two follow-up surveys. The results of this study indicate that the RSES is a unidimensional construct that is contaminated by a method effect primarily associated with negatively worked items. These results were found in both adolescents and adults. Moreover, the results found support for the hypothesis that the method effects diminish with increased verbal ability. The theoretical and methodological implications of these findings are discussed. Copyright 2000 Academic Press. CORWYN, ROBERT FLYNN Family Process Mediators of the Relation between Components of SES and Child Outcomes Ph.D. Dissertation, The University of Memphis, December 2004. DAI-B 65/11, p. 6068, May 2005. Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 ID Number: 4974 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning The purpose of this study was to investigate the processes through which components of SES influence child outcomes and whether these processes differ with regard to ethnicity, child outcome and/or developmental period. The study examined two aspects of the home environment frequently included in SES/child development mediational models (learning stimulation, maternal responsiveness) from middle childhood to early adolescence using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. These relations were examined for two developmental outcomes (reading recognition and problem behaviors) in two ethnic groups (African American and European American). Results supported the practices of analyzing components of SES separately, investigating ethnic group interactions, and developmental trends in SES → child outcome relations. In agreement with the systems concept of multifinality, it was found that, in some instances, the same process influenced more than one child outcome. In agreement with the systems concept of equifinality, there was often more than one process operating to influence the same child outcome. Consistent with previous research, learning stimulation provided in the home was a more consistent mediator than was responsivity. Moreover an ethnic group interaction was found when reading recognition in middle childhood was the outcome and ethnic differences were noted in the pattern of relations across time for both child outcomes.
