Abstract

Associations between histories of family disruption (residential moves and separations from parent figures) and adolescent adjustment (including educational, internalizing, externalizing, and sexual behavior outcomes) were examined in a random sample of 267 African American girls from 3 urban poverty neighborhoods. Higher numbers of residential moves and parental separations significantly predicted greater adolescent adjustment problems after household demographic characteristics were controlled. Adolescents' perceptions of their current relationships and neighborhoods were significantly associated with adolescent adjustment but did not mediate the effects of family disruption. Associations between parental separations and adolescent outcomes were strongest for externalizing problems and were found for both male and female caregivers, for long-standing and more temporary caregivers, and for separations in early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence.

  • A greater number of residential moves over the preceding five years was linked with lower current grades among low-income adolescent girls after controlling for sociodemographic risk and perceived current environment.

    “In another study, Adam and Chase-Lansdale (2002) linked a greater number of residential moves over the preceding 5 years with lower current grades in school among a sample of low-income adolescent girls, after controlling for sociodemographic risk (e.g., caregiver’s education, age, and marital status) and perceived current environment (e.g., quality of social support).”

  • Children who experience residential mobility or homelessness experience disruptions in daily routines, lesson plans and assessments at new schools, social supports, relationships, coping resources, and family functioning.

    “Children who experience residential mobility or homelessness experience disruptions in daily routines, lesson plans and assessments at new schools, social supports, relationships and coping resources in community settings, and impairments in family functioning (Adam & Chase-Lansdale, 2002; National Research Council and Institute of Medicine, 2010).”

  • The results corroborate past findings of lower academic achievement for HHM students, both in single grades or time points and longitudinally as a marker of chronic risk.

    “These results corroborate past findings showing lower levels of academic achievement for HHM students, either in a single grade or at a single point in time (Adam & Chase-Lansdale, 2002; Buckner, 2008; Fantuzzo & Perlman, 2007; Rubin, et al., 1996) or when considered longitudinally as a marker of chronic risk (Obradović, et al., 2009).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
