This research has implicitly assumed that these effects do not vary across contexts. Contrary to this assumption, we develop two hypotheses predicting such variation. The first hypothesis predicts that changes in the age at tracking increase educational mobility more for larger than for smaller changes in the age at tracking. According to the second hypothesis, reforms in the age at tracking only increase educational mobility if they occur in societies which put a high emphasis on equality of opportunity as a policy aim. We test these hypotheses by estimating the effects of reforms in the age at tracking, which occurred in five European countries (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, and Italy) in the 20th century, on educational mobility. We use data from the European Social Survey (ESS) and the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). The effects of the reforms are identified using a regression discontinuity design (RDD). A third hypothesis tests if the reforms increase educational mobility more among women than among men and if this is particularly the case in countries with a more gender egalitarian climate. Overall, the results reveal little cross-country variation in the effects of reforms in the age at tracking on educational mobility. In all analyzed countries there is an increase in educational mobility due to the reform in the age at tracking. In most countries, these effects do not differ between men and women.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 103188"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research pointed to Americans' distinctive partisan polarization as a key source of that failure, arguing that political partisanship transformed any united willingness to look out for <em>all Americans</em> into a willingness to only look out for <em>my Americans</em>. Yet, one apolitical frame commonly used throughout the United States' public health history was never widely applied nor empirically tested: that of taking public health actions to ‘support the troops.’ This article fills this gap via experimental data from more than 600 U.S. adults and observational data from 1000 U.S. counties measuring how messages that trigger support for the military may have affected adults' COVID-19 prevention behaviors. Results show that while messages about the importance of taking public health actions in order to protect the military may have had some effect on Americans' COVID-19 practices early in the pandemic, over time that effect eroded—while the divisive effects of political partisanship strengthened. Yet, limited evidence also indicates that military messages in Republican communities weakened some of partisanship's hold on public health behaviors—suggesting that a unifying military norm may still exist.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 103193"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143874261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study also investigates the role of state-level contexts, such as anti-discrimination laws and public attitudes toward homosexuality, in moderating occupational segregation. Findings indicate significant patterns of segregation: SSM men are more likely to work in female-dominated, lower-paying, lower-prestige occupations, while SSM women tend to work in male-dominated, higher-paying, lower-prestige occupations compared to their heterosexual counterparts. State-level legal protections and supportive cultural attitudes toward sexual minorities are associated with reduced segregation, particularly in gender composition and prestige for both men and women.

Scholars posit that the extent of this equalizing impact hinges on how couples, when employing FWAs, allocate their time between work and family domains based on their prevailing gender ideologies. Analyzing longitudinal couple-level dyadic data in the United Kingdom and using the actor-partner interdependence model, this study contributes to the debate by investigating how the relationship between the use of FWAs and housework time among couples depends on the combination of their gender ideologies. The results reveal that a wife's adoption of FWAs notably amplifies her housework responsibilities and diminishes her husband's, when at least one spouse in a couple holds a traditional gender ideology. In contrast, a husband's use of FWAs boosts his own housework hours, only when both spouses have a more egalitarian gender ideology. However, a husband's use of FWAs does not reduce his wife's housework duration regardless of couple's gender ideology. Notably, it is couple's gender ideology, rather than FWAs usage, that has greater predicting power in housework time especially for the wife. Overall, these results underscore the necessity of contextualizing the effects of FWAs through the lens of prevailing gender ideology within couples to understand their influence on gender disparities in domestic labor.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 103192"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143855766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Receiving inheritances or inter vivos gifts substantially increases the probability of homeownership, with the effect being most pronounced in the transfer year and diminishing rapidly thereafter. Anticipated future transfers also increase homeownership probability before transfer receipt. Together, anticipated and received transfers account for 15–54 % of the differences in homeownership transition rates by parental social class. Ignoring expected transfers leads to a significant underestimation of the role that wealth plays in shaping the relationship between parental class and homeownership.

Theories of parental transfers to adult children often rely on the logic of demand and supply to explain inequality of support within and between families.

Random and fixed-effects regression models were estimated on a sample of 16,603 children aged 18–50 nested in 7826 parents in the Netherlands. Findings reveal that support transfers to children strongly depend on parents’ resources and time constraints, confirming the role of supply. Models for sibling differences within families show that parents allocate more support to children with personal problems and children who experienced adverse life events, in line with the notion of demand. Supply and demand-side factors play a weaker role for stepparents but similar roles for married and separated parents. Supply-side effects increase inequality in future generations, whereas demand-side effects reduce inequality by mitigating differences within families.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 103181"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143826314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of parental education and income on both adult offspring's initial and subsequent neighborhood attainment are significantly weaker among Blacks than Whites. The effects of parental socioeconomic status on offspring's initial neighborhood attainment operate largely through childhood neighborhood contexts and, to a lesser extent, offspring's own socioeconomic attainment and demographic behavior. However, neither childhood neighborhood economic context nor offspring's own attainments explains the effect of parental SES on offspring's trajectory of neighborhood SES throughout the adult life course.
