The Relationship

35 men and 35 women participated in a study of the relationship between experienced parental control and level of trait anxiety in early adult life. The correlation for the combined subjects indicated a moderate association between the two variables. Separate analyses for the men and women yielded a significant correlation for the women but not for the men.

Control Variation

60 middle-class university students took part in a study investigating the relationship between autonomy-control variation in child rearing and levels of anomie in young adulthood. 20 subjects came from a background encouraging autonomy, 20 from one intermediate, and 20 from families characterized by control. Each of the 3 groups included 11 males and 9 females. All participants perceived their family backgrounds as warm and loving. Results indicate that subjects encouraged in autonomy as compared to those with a control background tend to report lower levels of anomie.

The Relationship

The research investigated the relationship between family dynamics and the beliefs about the benefits of talking to infants. Prior research has shown that language development is enhanced by verbal interaction with others. We tested two hypotheses: (a) men may view talking to infants as less beneficial than women and (b) one’s relationships with parents would be related to the extent to which young adults view talking to infants as beneficial. In a study with 301 undergraduates (181 women, 120 men), we confirmed both hypotheses, showing that (a) men were less likely than women to view talking to infants as beneficial and (b) for both men and women, the more negative their relationship with their mother, the less likely they were to view talking to infants as beneficial. Implications for infant care are discussed.

Perceived Attractiveness

Sixty-five men and fifty-one women took part in a study of attitudes toward feminism. The question of attitude similarity mediated error in perceived attractiveness was addressed, and the relationship between selected personal characteristics and attitudes toward feminism was assessed. Results confirmed that men and women view people with attitudes similar to their own as more attractive. Best predictors of negative attitudes towards feminism among men were conservativism and limited familiarity with feminist issues, whereas among women, trait-anxiety was the best predictor.

Control Variation

33 males and 27 females took part in a study of three hypotheses, derived respectively from the viewpoints of Rogers, cognitive-developmental theory, and Byrne, about the relationship between autonomy-control variation in child-rearing and self-image disparity in young adults. 20 subjects came from families encouraging autonomy, 20 from intermediate ones, and 20 from controlling backgrounds. Each of the 3 groups included 11 males and 9 females. Differences in self-image disparity were found between the groups of females but not between the male ones; autonomous and control women reported higher levels of self-image discrepancy than the intermediate group did. The findings are discussed in relation to the three positions which generated the hypotheses.

Early Adult Life

A nascent literature recognizes that student loan debt is racialized and disproportionately affects youth of color, especially black youth. In this study, the authors expand on this research and ask whether black-white disparities in student debt persist, decline, or increase across the early adult life course, examine possible mechanisms for changes in racial disparities in student debt across early adulthood, and ask whether racial disparities in student debt contribute to black-white wealth inequality among a recent cohort of college-going young adults. The authors address these questions using nationally representative data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997, multilevel growth curve models, and linear decomposition methods. There are three findings. First, black-white disparities in debt increase across the early adult life course, and previous research underestimated racial disparities in debt. Second, growth in this racial disparity is partially explained by differences in the social background, postsecondary experiences, and disparities in attained social and economic status of black and white young adults. As a result, the authors find that, compositionally, racial inequalities in student debt account for a substantial minority of the black-white wealth gap in early adulthood and that this contribution increases across the early adult life course. The authors conclude that debt trajectories are more informative than point-in-time estimates and that student debt may be a new mechanism of wealth inequality that creates fragility in the next generation of the black middle class.

The Relationship

There is still relatively little known about attachment relationships late in life. This study investigated changes in number and identities of attachment figures in older adults’ support networks. Participants were 80 married and widowed men and women aged 60—99 (M = 77.8). Each identified attachment figures for proximity seeking, secure base, and safe haven functions, ranked in importance; the Relationship Scales Questionnaire (Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991) assessed attachment styles. Elders had smaller attachment networks than reported for younger adults; women and the married had larger networks (p < .05). The nature and identities of attachment figures changed from those of earlier adult life to adult children, deceased loved ones, and God. Elders had fewer full-blown attachments but a greater variety of attachment figures. The widowed had a greater proportion of dismissive attachment styles. The results suggest that attachment figures are needed for maximum adaptation in old age.
