Sugene Cho‐Baker, Kelly M. Purtell

Journal of Research on Adolescence > 32 > 2 > 785 - 804

Many young adults in countries with advanced economies make linear career transitions from school to work. However, there is a great variability in youth’s postsecondary education and early work experiences and more work is needed to identify the career trajectories of modern youth. Using longitudinal data on 1747 young adults from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth–1997, the current study...

Abel J. Koury, Jaclyn Dynia, Rebecca Dore, Jessica A. R. Logan, more

Background Nearly 13 million American children experience food insecurity. Research suggests that maternal depression is associated with food insecurity, such that mothers who experience depression are more likely to be food insecure. Maternal self‐efficacy may be an important protective factor against depression during the postpartum year, interrupting the link between depression and food insecurity...

Specifically, the study examines two research questions: (i) Are U.S. childcare subsidies associated with self‐reported neglect among low‐income mothers? (ii) What individual types of self‐reported neglect are significantly reduced...

Work Outcomes for Mothers Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence: the Buffering Effect of Child Care Subsidy

Kathryn Showalter, Kathryn Maguire-Jack, Mi-Youn Yang, Kelly M. Purtell

Journal of Family Violence > 2019 > 34 > 4 > 299-308

Mothers who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) are at increased risk for experiencing workplace instability in the form of absence from paid employment and job loss. In a cross-sectional study, we investigate if experiences of IPV inhibit work stability among low-income women as well as if the receipt of child care subsidies has a moderating effect on the relationship. Using data from the...

Activity settings in full-day kindergarten classrooms and children’s early learning

Arya Ansari, Kelly M. Purtell

Early Childhood Research Quarterly > 2017 > 38 > C > 23-32

Using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Kindergarten Class of 2010–2011 (n=10,620), we examined the diversity in full-day kindergarten activity settings across the nation. Recognizing that patterns of activity use may be more important than any single activity, we used person-centered modeling to identify five activity profiles: high whole group, high small group, high individual, distributed...

Arya Ansari, Kelly M. Purtell, Elizabeth T. Gershoff

Journal of Marriage and Family > 78 > 5 > 1195 - 1207

Using data from the Head Start Impact Study (n = 3,696), this article examines whether one year of Head Start differentially benefited parents as a function of their initial parenting behaviors.

In general, most parents demonstrated improvements...

Latin American Immigration, Maternal Education, and Approaches to Managing Children's Schooling in the United States

Robert Crosnoe, Arya Ansari, Kelly M. Purtell, Nina Wu

Journal of Marriage and Family > 78 > 1 > 60 - 74

Concerted cultivation is the active parental management of children's educations that, because it differs by race/ethnicity, nativity, and socioeconomic status, plays a role in early educational disparities. Analyses of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study–Kindergarten Cohort (n = 10,913) revealed that foreign‐born Latina mothers were generally less likely to engage in school‐based activities, enroll...

Parents’ Participation in a Work-Based Anti-Poverty Program Can Enhance Their Children’s Future Orientation: Understanding Pathways of Influence

Kelly M. Purtell, Vonnie C. McLoyd

Journal of Youth and Adolescence > 2013 > 42 > 6 > 777-791

Planning and preparing for life after high school is a central developmental task of American adolescents, and may be even more critical for low-income youth who are less likely to attend a four year college. This study investigates factors that led to the effects of the New Hope Project, a work-based, anti-poverty program directed at parents on youths’ career-related thoughts and planning. The New...

Kelly M. Purtell, Elizabeth T. Gershoff, J. Lawrence Aber

Children and Youth Services Review > 2012 > 34 > 4 > 713-724

Two of the primary programs through which the federal government provides benefits to low income families are the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program and the Food Stamp program. However, many eligible low income families do not actually receive these benefits. We combined state-level policy data with rich data on a national sample of low income families to investigate family and...

Vonnie C. McLoyd, Rachel Kaplan, Kelly M. Purtell, Aletha C. Huston

Child Development > 82 > 1 > 113 - 132

The impacts of New Hope, a 3‐year work‐based antipoverty program to increase parent employment and reduce poverty, on youth ages 9–19 (N = 866) were assessed 5 years after parents left the program. New Hope had positive effects on the future orientation and employment experiences of boys, especially African American boys. Compared to boys in control group families, boys in program group families were...

Relations between children’s metamemory and strategic performance: Time-varying covariates in early elementary school

Jennie K. Grammer, Kelly M. Purtell, Jennifer L. Coffman, Peter A. Ornstein

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology > 2011 > 108 > 1 > 139-155

Although much is known about the development of memory strategies and metamemory during childhood, evidence for linkages between these memory skills, either concurrently or over time, has been limited. Drawing from a longitudinal investigation of the development of memory, repeated assessments of children’s (N=107) strategy use and declarative metamemory were made to examine the development of these...
