The Relationship

Using Panel Study of Income Dynamics 2001-2015 dataset (6,035 households, 19,688 observations), this study takes a new approach to investigating the relationship between wife’s relative income and husband’s psychological distress, and finds it to be significantly U-shaped. Controlling for total household income, predicted male psychological distress reaches a minimum at a point where wives make 40% of total household income and proceeds to increase, to reach highest level when men are entirely economically dependent on their wives. These results reflect the stress associated with being the sole breadwinner, and more significantly, with gender norm deviance due to husbands being outearned by their wives. Interestingly, the relationship between wife’s relative income and husband’s psychological distress is not found among couples where wives outearned husbands at the beginning of their marriage pointing to importance of marital selection. Finally, patterns reported by wives are not as pronouncedly U-shaped as those reported by husbands.

The Relationship

Adolescent employment during high school has become the norm in the United States, but studies of associated outcomes have yielded mixed results. These discrepant findings may be partly attributable to study methods, including differences in how adolescent employment is measured and how selection factors are taken into account. The present study, based on data from the Child Development Supplement of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, aims to continue untangling these complexities by (a) examining whether the strength of theoretical predictors varies when predictors are assessed in a comprehensive model that simultaneously controls several psychological, family, and community factors; (b) determining whether the strength of predictors varies depending on how adolescent employment is measured (work status, work duration, and work intensity); and (c) assessing whether race moderates some of these relationships. Results indicate differences in how each predictor is related to each dimension of adolescent employment, as well as a moderating effect of race on the relationship between educational expectations and number of hours adolescents worked each week.

The Relationship

Prior studies have demonstrated that peer victimization is a common problem affecting youth and has short-term mental health consequences. There is less known about the long-term consequences of peer victimization during the transition to adulthood, or the processes whereby bully victimization may lead to poor mental health. This study utilized prospective longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics ( N = 1,413) to examine adolescent self-concept as a mediator in the relationship between adolescent peer victimization and psychological distress in emerging adulthood. Results indicated that adolescent self-concept partially mediates the relationship between adolescent peer victimization and emerging adult psychological distress. However, the relationship between peer victimization and psychological distress varies by bully victimization subtypes. Findings suggest the consequences of adolescent peer victimization can linger and impact mental health in emerging adulthood. Implications of these findings and suggestions for further research on peer victimization are also discussed.

Recent research in psychology suggest that altruism and altruistic decisions may, in fact, be endogenous and depend on the social situation in which people find themselves. People are more likely to be altruistic, to give to charities and others in need, when they feel secure and safe. This paper looks at the implications of a persons perceived state of security on giving now that there are terrorist threats in the U.S. We use data from the Center on Philanthropy Panel Study (COPPS), and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (the PSID) to test for endogenous changes in giving and volunteering from before and after the 2001 terrorist attacks. We find evidence indicating that increasing uncertainty resulted in a decline in the giving of both money and time, holding other variables constant, but the relationship is not significant.

Introduction: Evidence shows a positive correlation between work hour (WH) duration and incident diabetes (DM). However, little is known about the association between longitudinal WH patterns and the risk of incident DM. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that the greatest risk of DM would be observed in consistently long WH patterns and that age, sex, and ethnicity would modify the relationship between WH patterns and incident DM. Methods: We utilized a representative sample of 15,843 U.S. adults from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics who reported weekly WH for a minimum of five years between 1985-2017 and did not have a history of DM prior to reporting five years of WH data. Latent class linear mixed modeling was used to identify distinct longitudinal WH trajectory patterns. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were then used to examine the association between WH patterns and incident DM, with initial adjustments made for sex, age, ethnicity, education, income-to-needs ratio, and occupation. We also tested for statistical interactions between WH patterns and baseline age, sex, and ethnicity. Results: Over a mean follow-up of 17.5 years, four WH trends were identified: standard, full-time (61.1%), increasing (11.5%), quickly decreasing (11.3%), and gradually decreasing (16.1%). Age (interaction p=0.013), but not ethnicity nor sex, modified the association between WH patterns and incident DM. In age stratified analyses, adults aged 18-29 showed no significant association between WH patterns and DM. In adults aged 30-39, a gradually decreasing WH trend showed lower DM risk compared to those working standard hours (OR=0.59; 95% CI: 0.45 - 0.77). Among those ≥40 years, both quickly decreasing (OR=0.66; 95% CI: 0.50 - 0.87) and gradually decreasing (OR=0.45; 95% CI: 0.34 - 0.60) WH patterns were associated with lower risk of DM compared to those working standard hours. Conclusion: Compared to individuals working standard WH over many years, decreasing WH patterns were associated with a lower risk of incident DM.

The Relationship

This study examines the relationship between health and adolescent employment. Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics’ Child Development Supplement and Transition into Adulthood Supplement, we examine a cohort of 2,925 youth who were followed from childhood into adolescence. We focus on two outcomes measured when sample members were ages 16, 17, and 18: employment status and average weekly hours worked. With these data, we test the hypothesis that youth with health conditions will be less likely to work and if they do work, they work fewer hours a week. We find mixed support for this hypothesis. Youth with sensory limitations, developmental disabilities, and externalizing problem behaviors are less likely to work than their peers without these conditions. However, conditional on being employed, youth with externalizing problem behaviors and ADHD work more hours a week than their peers without those conditions.

The Relationship

This study employed ordinal logistic regression analyses to investigate the relationship between American adolescents’ participation in physical activity and depressive symptomatology. Data were drawn from the second Child Development Supplement to the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (CDS II), which was conducted over 2002-2003. Fewer than 60% of adolescents were found to accumulate 60 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) outside of school hours on week or weekend days. Accumulated duration of MVPA was not, however, significantly associated with severity of depressive symptoms for either gender. Males who were not involved in sporting clubs or lessons were more likely than males who were highly involved to experience greater severity of depressive symptoms (OR = 3.24, CI = 1.33, 7.87). Results highlight gender variability in the psychosocial correlates of sporting participation and prompt further investigation of the relevance of current physical activity guidelines for mental health in adolescence.
