Demographic Trends in the United States: A Review of Research in the 2000s (2010, background): “They find that the number of transitions that children experience is associated with undesirable outcomes such as behavior problems (Fomby & Cherlin, 2007; Osborne & McLanahan, 2007) and less competency in interacting with peers at school (Cavanagh & Huston, 2006).”
Partnership Instability and Child Well-Being (2007, background): “For example, two studies report stronger effects forWhites than for Blacks (Fomby & Cherlin, 2007; Wu & Thomson, 2001); several studies report more negative effects among children whose parents have fewer resources, measured variously as mental health, cognitive skills, and economic status…”
Effects of Family Structure Type and Stability on Children's Academic Performance Trajectories (2011, background): “…groups in this data set, the current study did not further test the potential interaction effects between family type and race on performance trajectories, although there are sound conceptual reasons and accumulating evidence for expecting such effects (Fomby & Cherlin, 2007; Wu & Thompson, 2001).”
Chronic and Proximate Depression among Mothers: Implications for Child Well-Being. (2011, background): “For example, economic resources may enable depressed mothers to send their children to high-quality child-care programs that facilitate the development of good behaviors (Burchinal, 1999).”
Poverty and family structure effects on children's mathematics achievement: Estimates from random and fixed effects models (2009, methodology): “In doing so, we have joined prior studies by Guo (1998), Aughinbaugh et al. (2005) and Fomby and Cherlin (2007).”
Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Association Between Family Structure and Children's Education (2019, background): “First, research suggests that children who experience multiple transitions in family structure face worse educational outcomes than children raised in stable families, independent of the type of stable family structure (Fomby & Cherlin, 2007).”
Same‐Sex Parent Families and Children's Academic Achievement (2012, background): “…Gartrell & Bos, 2010; Wainright & Patterson, 2006, 2008; Wainright et al., 2004), but the dynamic model of the family used in this study aligns these results with other research on opposite-sex parent nontraditional families (Cavanagh et al., 2006; Fomby & Cherlin, 2007; Sun & Li, 2009, 2011).”
