Does singlehood isolate or integrate? Examining the link between marital status and ties to kin, friends, and neighbors (2016, background): “Because numerous scholars have argued that social ties are shaped by gender (Dahlin, Kelly, & Moen, 2008; Liebler & Sandefur, 2002; Rossi & Rossi, 1990), we examine the relationship of singlehood to social ties separately for women and men.”
Environmental Standards and Labor Productivity: Understanding the Mechanisms that Sustain Sustainability (2013, unknown): “Research has also shown that women are more likely to invest in interpersonal relationships than men (Liebler & Sandefur, 2002).”
Intergenerational Solidarity and Support Between Adult Siblings (2008, background): “Because women tend to be the family kinkeepers who sustain inter- and intragenerational contacts (Liebler & Sandefur, 2002; Rosenthal, 1985), we account for gender of the provider and receiver of support as well as gender of the parent.”
Close adult friendships, gender, and the life cycle (2015, background): “…the use of age as a variable, instead recruiting participants from a single stage of the life course, such as young adulthood (Burleson, Holmstrom, & Gilstrap, 2005), middle age (Liebler & Sandefur, 2002), or later life (Felmlee & Muraco, 2009); such studies frequently focus on gender differences.”
