Relationship quality, parenting practices, and adolescent mental health across diverse U.S. populations.

Various parenting practices and behaviors have been consistently linked to children and youth's mental health outcomes (Pinquart, 2016, 2017) through identified psychological and biological mechanisms (Hoeve et al., 2009). The quality of the dyadic parent-child relationship is less commonly studied but may be important in mediating the efficacy of parenting practices and understanding cultural differences in how parenting practices affect development outcomes (Ho et al.

Parent-child relationship quality predicts higher subjective well-being in adulthood across a diverse group of countries.

Theoretically and empirically, parenting is closely related to the psychological health of offspring, but long-term effects and possible international differences are not well established. In a pre-registered multilevel modeling analysis using data from the Global Flourishing Study, we tested whether retrospective parent-child relationship quality predicts adult well-being in a representative sample of 202,898 adults living in 21 countries and one territory. We developed and validated indexes of flourishing and mental health.

Information, partisanship, and preferences in a pandemic.

We investigate the role of information exposure in shaping attitudes and behaviors related to the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic and whether baseline political affiliation and news diet mediate effects. In December 2020, we randomly assigned 5,009 U.S.

Misperceptions of COVID-19 illness risk and preferences for business and school closures in the United States.

Misperceptions about COVID-19 health risks may be associated with preferences for school and business closures and fear of becoming seriously ill. We analyzed data from the Franklin Templeton-Gallup Economic of Recovery Study (July-December 2020, N = 35,068). Primary outcomes were whether a respondent favored closure of businesses or in-person schooling for elementary/secondary students.

Association of COVID-19 Risk Misperceptions With Household Isolation in the United States: Survey Study.

Background: Adverse mental and emotional health outcomes are increasingly recognized as a public health challenge associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective: The goal of this study was to examine the association of COVID-19 risk misperceptions with self-reported household isolation, a potential risk factor for social isolation and loneliness.

Methods: We analyzed data from the Franklin Templeton-Gallup Economics of Recovery Study (July to December 2020) of 24,649 US adults.

Geographic Effects on Intergenerational Income Mobility.

The notion that where one grows up affects future living standards is increasingly well established in social science. Yet research on intergenerational economic mobility often ignores the regional and neighborhood context of childhood, especially local purchasing power. We hypothesize that unexplained variation in intergenerational mobility is partly attributable to regional and neighborhood conditions-most notably access to high quality schools.

Density zoning and class segregation in U.S. metropolitan areas.

Socioeconomic segregation rose substantially in U.S. cities during the final decades of the 20th century, and we argue that zoning regulations are an important cause of this increase.

The Changing Bases of Segregation in the United States.

The nature and organization of segregation shifted profoundly in the United States over the course of the twentieth century. During the first two-thirds of the century, segregation was defined by the spatial separation of whites and blacks. What changed over time was the level at which this racial separation occurred, as macro-level segregation between states and counties gave way steadily to micro-level segregation between cities and neighborhoods.

THE EFFECT OF DENSITY ZONING ON RACIAL SEGREGATION IN U.S. URBAN AREAS.

We argue that anti-density zoning increases black residential segregation in U.S. metropolitan areas by reducing the quantity of affordable housing in white jurisdictions.
