Adult Children and Their Fathers: Relationship Changes 20 Years After Parental Divorce* (2003, unknown): “Studies dealing with the long-term consequences of divorce generally find that parents’ divorce during childhood weakens the emotional bonds between offspring and parents in later life ( Amato & Booth, 1997; Hetherington & Kelly, 2002).”
Understanding and Altering the Longitudinal Course of Marriage (2004, background): “Parental divorce increases the likelihood that their offspring will divorce (e.g., Amato, 1996; Feng, Giarusso, Bengston, & Frye, 1999), for example, and parents’ reports of marital quality covary with their offspring’s marital quality assessed more than a decade later (e.g., Amato & Booth, 1997).”
Fathers' Child Care and Children's Behavior Problems (2002, background): “It appears that more educated and higher income fathers are more involved with their children (Amato & Booth, 1997; Marsiglio, 1991; but see Deutsch, Lussier, & Servis, 1993), and we included these variables among our controls.”
Why is “Bad” Parenting Criminogenic? Implications From Rival Theories (2006, background): “It has also been argued that families living in poverty encounter greater environmental stressors undermining their effectiveness as parents and thereby increasing the misbehavior of their children ( Amato & Booth, 1997; Belsky, 1980; Gelles, 1992).”
Nonresident Father Involvement and Adolescent Well-Being: Father Effects or Child Effects? (2007, background): “Socioeconomic status, measured in this study as educational attainment, is positively related to paternal involvement and children’s wellbeing (Amato and Booth 1997).”
A Comparison of High- and Low-Distress Marriages That End in Divorce (2007, background): “In a series of publications, Amato, Loomis, and Booth (1995); Amato and Booth (1997); Booth and Amato (2001); and Amato (2002) presented evidence that many couples do not experience high levels of discord and marital unhappiness prior to divorce.”
Family characteristics and intergenerational conflicts over the Internet (2006, background): “Better educated parents are more active and involved in their children's lives (Amato & Booth 1997 ; Amato & Rivera 1999 ).”
The Father-Child Relationship, Parenting Styles, and Adolescent Risk Behaviors in Intact Families (2006, background): “Children with supportive paternal influences tend to report fewer behavioral problems at school (Browne & Rife, 1991) and greater social integration (Amato & Booth, 1997).”
Continuity and Change in Marital Quality Between 1980 and 2000 (2003, background): “Well-educated individuals, compared with poorly educated individuals, earn more income, possess better communication skills, are at lower risk of depression, and experience a stronger sense of personal control (Amato & Booth, 1997; Farley, 1996; Ross & Wu, 1995).”
The Good Mother, the Good Father, and the Good Parent: Gendered Definitions of Parenting (2012, background): “Taking a long-range view indicates that in light of demographic and social changes, fathers are actually less involved than at any other time in U.S. history (Amato & Booth, 1997).”
Exposure to Interparental Conflict and Psychological Disorder Among Young Adults (2006, background): “Studies show that interparental conflict is associated with poor relationships between parents and their children (Davies & Cummings, 1994; Emery, 1999; Erel & Burman 1995; Hetherington & Clingempeel, 1992) as well as their adult offspring (Amato & Booth, 1997; Rossi & Rossi, 1990).”
Does father absence place daughters at special risk for early sexual activity and teenage pregnancy? (2003, background): “marriage is highly conflictual or violent [ Amato & Booth, 1997 ]).”
Does capital at home matter more than capital at school? Social capital effects on academic achievement (2013, unknown): “Still, while parental influences remain strong throughout the teen years (Amato & Booth, 2000), relationships with people outside the kin circle become increasingly important as children age.”
The long arm of childhood: The influence of early-life social conditions on men’s mortality (2004, unknown): “These effects are consistent with prior studies that reported that two-biological-parent households are best able to invest in offsprings’ well-being (Amato and Booth 1997; McLanahan and Sandefur 1994).”
