An Expectancy-Discrepancy-Threat Model of Masculine Identity.}, Journal = {Personality and social psychology review : an official journal of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, Inc}, Volume = {27}, Number = {4}, Pages = {359-377}, Year = {2023}, Month = {November}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/10888683221141176}, Abstract = {<h4>Academic abstract</h4>Manhood is a precarious social status. Under perceived gender identity threat, men are disproportionately likely to enact certain stereotype-consistent responses such as aggression to maintain their gender status. Yet less is known regarding individual variation in men's threat responsiveness-that is, the psychological conditions under which one's masculine identity is more or less "fragile." We propose a novel model of masculine identity whereby masculine norm expectancy generates discrepancy within the self to the extent that rigid norms are internalized as obligational (actual-ought discrepancy) versus aspirational (actual-ideal discrepancy), which predict extrinsic versus intrinsic motivations to reduce these discrepancies, respectively. Under threat, then, extrinsic motivations predict externalized responses (e.g., aggression), and intrinsic motivations elicit internalized responses (e.g., anxiety, shame, self-harm). We also consider the conditions under which masculinity may be less fragile-for example, in contexts with less rigid expectations and among men who reject expectations-as pathways to mitigate adverse masculinity threat-related outcomes.<h4>Public abstract</h4>In many cultures, men prove their manhood by engaging in behaviors that harm themselves and others (e.g., violence, sexism, homophobia), particularly people from marginalized groups. Yet less is known about why some men are more likely than others to enact these masculinity-proving behaviors. The goal of our model is to specify certain conditions under which masculinities become "fragile" and elicit these responses when under threat. We start by describing the rigid expectations men experience-for example, that they are strong and tough. We propose that these expectations cause men to experience different forms of discrepancy within themselves that produce corresponding motivations to reduce these discrepancies. Under threat, motivations driven by others' expectations elicit outward attempts to restore masculine status (e.g., aggression), whereas motivations driven by self-ideals cause internalized responses (e.g., shame, self-harm). We conclude by discussing how to reduce these discrepancies, such as mitigating the rigidity of and encouraging men's resistance to masculinity expectations.}, Doi = {10.1177/10888683221141176}, Key = {fds368872} } @article{fds370944, Author = {Ryan, RM and Gassman-Pines, A and Steimle, S and Baker, G and Hines, CT and Johnson, AD}, Title = {The role of public and private food assistance in supporting families’ food security and meal routines}, Journal = {Children and Youth Services Review}, Volume = {150}, Year = {2023}, Month = {July}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.childyouth.2023.106994}, Abstract = {“Backpack” food programs administered through public schools are a potentially powerful additional source of nutrition for low-income students and their families. Typically, backpack programs send non-perishable foods home with children to supplement school meals. Power Packs Project (PPP) is a unique backpack program, in that it provides fresh food alongside accompanying recipes, with the explicit goals of not only reducing food insecurity but also facilitating home cooking and improving nutrition for the whole family. Using daily, repeated surveys sent via text-message to program parents (N = 178), this study is the first to examine the effect of picking up a Power Pack in a given week on parent and child food insecurity and meal routines. Additionally, it explores whether effects differed for families who also received federal food assistance through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Results indicate that Power Packs is associated with lower parent and child food insecurity; this relationship is even stronger among families who did not also receive SNAP. Power Packs also promotes home cooking, but only among families who did not receive SNAP. Analyses of program usage revealed that SNAP recipients were far more likely to pick up their packs at the end of their SNAP month than they were just after SNAP benefit distribution, suggesting they use the program to smooth food consumption in tandem with SNAP. Implications of these findings for food assistance programs and policies are discussed.}, Doi = {10.1016/j.childyouth.2023.106994}, Key = {fds370944} } @article{fds370352, Author = {Gassman-Pines, A and Bellows, L and Copeland, WE and Hoyle, RH and Odgers, CL}, Title = {Day-to-day variation in adolescent food insecurity.}, Journal = {Child Youth Serv Rev}, Volume = {149}, Year = {2023}, Month = {June}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.childyouth.2023.106954}, Abstract = {This study examined differences in both average and variability in daily adolescent food insecurity, by adolescents' levels of economic disadvantage and race/ethnicity. We used data from a 14-day ecological momentary assessment of 395 adolescents enrolled in public schools in North Carolina.

Economically disadvantaged adolescents reported both higher average food insecurity and more day-to-day variability in food insecurity than non-economically disadvantaged adolescents. Controlling for economic disadvantage, Black adolescents also experienced both higher average food insecurity and more variability from day to day than White or Hispanic adolescents. For those receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, daily food insecurity was higher in the second half of the month after SNAP transfer than in the beginning of the month. Food insecurity among adolescents is not static but varies from day to day.

But researchers have also found racial and ethnic disparities in unemployment insurance receipt resulting from differences in work history and location. We examined a population disproportionately affected by job loss and unemployment insurance exclusions, using a survey of service workers from a single city who were parents of young children and who overwhelmingly had eligible work histories. During the COVID-19 pandemic, workers not identifying as White non-Hispanic in our sample were more likely to get laid off than White workers. Among those who were laid off, these workers and White workers experienced similar increases in material and mental health difficulties and similar gains when they received unemployment insurance. However, these workers were less likely than White workers to receive unemployment insurance at all. These results indicate that unemployment insurance has unrealized potential to reduce material and health disparities.

As the pandemic has persisted, many children remain in remote schooling and those attending in-person childcare or school have contended with unpredictable closures. This study investigated the frequency and consequences of disruptions to children's childcare and school arrangements during Fall 2020. The sample is parents who were hourly service-sector workers prior to the pandemic, had a young child between the ages of 3 and 8, and were at least partially responsible for their children's school and/or care in Fall 2020 (<i>N</i> = 676); half of the sample were non-Hispanic Black, 22% were Hispanic, and 18% are non-Hispanic White. Parents were asked to complete 30 days of daily surveys about whether their care and school arrangements went smoothly and as predicted that day, about their mood, parenting behaviors, and children's behavior. Results showed that daily disruptions to care and school were common, with families reporting a disruption on 24% of days. Families with children in exclusively remote schooling experienced more frequent disruption than families with children in in-person care or school. For all families, care or school disruptions were related to worse child behavior, more negative parental mood, and increased likelihood of losing temper and punishment. Within-family mediation suggests that parents' difficulties supporting children's learning, and to a lesser degree their mood and parenting behaviors, partially mediate effects of disruptions on child behavior.

We examined individual and contextual predictors of gender attitudes, assessed change in gender attitudes over 2 years, and estimated the effect of a community-based norms diffusion intervention. Multiple regression analyses revealed that being a boy, exposure to violence against women, and restrictive norms among same-gender peers predicted support for a patriarchal division of adult roles, lower educational status for girls, and acceptance of gender-based violence. In contrast to evidence from Western contexts, we found limited evidence of increased flexibility in gender attitudes during early adolescence. However, the intervention significantly reduced support for restrictive gender norms, especially among boys.

They also have higher health care expenditures and higher rates of morbidity. Women's experiences while utilizing health care are historically less well researched and warrant exploration.<h4>Methods</h4>We conducted 14 semistructured interviews about women's health care experiences with 11 women health consumers and 3 women health care practitioners in central North Carolina.<h4>Results</h4>When discussing their experiences, participants noted scheduling challenges, barriers related to insurance and cost, and dismissive or negative in-person encounters. Participants frequently discussed lack of resources for care postpartum. Practitioners noted lack of knowledge of disease burden, overmedicalization of women's care, lack of care postpartum, and trends around changes in primary care.Women health consumers in this study faced challenges related to access and in-person experience of care delivery, which were echoed by the clinician interviewees. Barriers to optimal women's health care exist even for those with insurance coverage and point to systemwide constraints as well as deficits in organizational culture.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Future clinical and research efforts should include 1) increasing awareness of and facilitating access to affordable postpartum care, 2) easing burdens around scheduling appointments and improved care coordination, and 3) more research exploring women's experiences during in-person health care encounters.

Descriptive analyses and regression models with family fixed effects were utilized.<h4>Results</h4>Work schedule unpredictability was common in the context of families' lives: over the 30 days, parents experienced an unanticipated work schedule change on 13.3% of days, and 87% of parents experienced at least one unanticipated work schedule change. Within families, unpredictable work schedule changes on a given day were associated with worse outcomes that day for parents, including increased negative mood and decreased perceived sleep quality.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Work schedule unpredictability is ubiquitous in the lives of low-wage hourly workers and is negatively related to working parents' well-being.<h4>Implications</h4>These results provide evidence that unscheduled and canceled shifts typical of low-wage service jobs may harm parents' well-being, which could ultimately affect their children's development and well-being.}, Doi = {10.1111/jomf.12696}, Key = {fds350767} } @article{fds351174, Author = {Gassman-Pines, A and Ananat, EO and Fitz-Henley, J}, Title = {COVID-19 and Parent-Child Psychological Well-being.}, Journal = {Pediatrics}, Volume = {146}, Number = {4}, Pages = {e2020007294}, Year = {2020}, Month = {October}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1542/peds.2020-007294}, Abstract = {<h4>Background and objectives</h4>The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 has changed American society in ways that are difficult to capture in a timely manner. With this study, we take advantage of daily survey data collected before and after the crisis started to investigate the hypothesis that the crisis has worsened parents' and children's psychological well-being. We also examine the extent of crisis-related hardships and evaluate the hypothesis that the accumulation of hardships will be associated with parent and child psychological well-being.<h4>Methods</h4>Daily survey data were collected between February 20 and April 27, 2020, from hourly service workers with a young child (aged 2-7) in a large US city (<i>N</i> = 8222 person-days from 645 individuals). A subsample completed a one-time survey about the effects of the crisis fielded between March 23 and April 26 (subsample <i>n</i> = 561).<h4>Results</h4>Ordered probit models revealed that the frequency of parent-reported daily negative mood increased significantly since the start of the crisis. Many families have experienced hardships during the crisis, including job loss, income loss, caregiving burden, and illness. Both parents' and children's well-being in the postcrisis period was strongly associated with the number of crisis-related hardships that the family experienced.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Consistent with our hypotheses, in families that have experienced multiple hardships related to the coronavirus disease 2019 crisis, both parents' and children's mental health is worse. As the crisis continues to unfold, pediatricians should screen for mental health, with particular attention to children whose families are especially vulnerable to economic and disease aspects of the crisis.}, Doi = {10.1542/peds.2020-007294}, Key = {fds351174} } @article{fds348770, Author = {Schenck-Fontaine, A and Gassman-Pines, A}, Title = {Income inequality and child maltreatment risk during economic recession}, Journal = {Children and Youth Services Review}, Volume = {112}, Year = {2020}, Month = {May}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.childyouth.2020.104926}, Abstract = {While several studies have examined the link between economic downturns and child maltreatment, the evidence linking economic downturns to child maltreatment is not consistent and cannot be generalized to the U.S. as a whole. This study builds on prior literature by extending the investigation of this association to 48 of the 50 U.S. states using National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS) data on child maltreatment reports from 2004 to 2013. Since the effects of economic recessions are not equally distributed in society, this study also examines whether the association between macroeconomic recessions (measured using large-scale involuntary job losses) and child maltreatment reports differs by the level of income inequality in states. Using a fixed-effects regression approach, we find that involuntary job losses are associated with increased rates of physical abuse reports, but not reports of other types of child maltreatment. We also find that the effects on reports on physical abuse and other types of maltreatment are largest in states with relatively low levels of income inequality. This surprising finding may be explained by the worse prospects of reemployment in low-inequality states, where families may experience more stress and uncertainty related to job losses.}, Doi = {10.1016/j.childyouth.2020.104926}, Key = {fds348770} } @article{fds348885, Author = {George, MJ and Jensen, MR and Russell, MA and Gassman-Pines, A and Copeland, WE and Hoyle, RH and Odgers, CL}, Title = {Young Adolescents' Digital Technology Use, Perceived Impairments, and Well-Being in a Representative Sample.}, Journal = {J Pediatr}, Volume = {219}, Pages = {180-187}, Year = {2020}, Month = {April}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jpeds.2019.12.002}, Abstract = {OBJECTIVE: To examine the cross-sectional associations between young adolescents' access, use, and perceived impairments related to digital technologies and their academic, psychological, and physical well-being. STUDY DESIGN: There were 2104 adolescents (ages 10-15 years), representative of the North Carolina Public School population, who completed questionnaires in 2015. Administrative educational records were linked with parental consent. RESULTS: Nearly all young adolescents (95%) had Internet access, 67% owned a mobile phone, and 68% had a social media account. Mobile phone ownership was not associated with any indicators of well-being (math and reading test scores, school belonging, psychological distress, conduct problems, or physical health) after controlling for demographic factors. Having a social media account and frequency of social media use were only robustly associated with conduct problems (explaining ∼3% of the variation in conduct problems). Despite the lack of strong associations, 91% of adolescents reported at least 1 perceived technology-related impairment and 29% of adolescents reported online-to-offline spillover of negative experiences. Economically disadvantaged adolescents reported similar access, but greater online-to-offline spillover and stronger associations between social media account ownership and poor psychological well-being compared with their more affluent peers. CONCLUSIONS: At the population level, there was little evidence that digital technology access and use is negatively associated with young adolescents' well-being. Youth from economically disadvantaged families were equally likely to have access to digital technologies, but were more likely than their more affluent peers to report negative online experiences. Closing the digital divide requires prioritizing equity in experiences and opportunities, as well as in access.}, Doi = {10.1016/j.jpeds.2019.12.002}, Key = {fds348885} } @article{fds344794, Author = {Gassman-Pines, A and Schenck-Fontaine, A}, Title = {Daily Food Insufficiency and Worry among Economically Disadvantaged Families with Young Children}, Journal = {Journal of Marriage and Family}, Volume = {81}, Number = {5}, Pages = {1269-1284}, Year = {2019}, Month = {October}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jomf.12593}, Abstract = {Objective: To examine how reports of food insecurity vary daily among low-income parents of young children. Background: The material and emotional components of food insecurity have negative consequences for children and can have negative implications for family life. Though the overall influence of food insecurity on parents and children is well-established, little is understood about possible instability in food insecurity. This paper examines to what degree instability related to the SNAP benefit cycle influences variability in families' daily food insecurity. Method: SNAP-recipient parents of a birth cohort in Durham, NC were recruited when children were 5–6 years old. One hundred and five participants completed a daily survey via SMS text message for 4 weeks (N = 2,661 person-days for analysis). Regression models with family fixed effects examined the relation between time since SNAP transfer and parents' daily food insecurity. Results: Parents' food insecurity was higher at the end of the SNAP month than at the beginning, with food insecurity accelerating and becoming more severe in the second half of the month. The increase was in both the food insufficiency and stress components of food insecurity. Conclusion: Food insecurity among SNAP recipients with young children is not static but varies day to day within the SNAP month.

Poverty is robustly linked to adolescents' mental health problems; however, less is known about how perceptions of their social status and exposure to local area income inequality relate to mental health. Participants consisted of a population-representative sample of over 2,100 adolescents (ages 10-16), 395 of whom completed a 14-day ecological momentary assessment (EMA) study. Participants' subjective social status (SSS) was assessed at the start of the EMA, and mental health symptoms were measured both at baseline for the entire sample and daily in the EMA sample. Adolescents' SSS tracked family, school, and neighborhood economic indicators (|r| ranging from .12 to .30), and associations did not differ by age, race, or gender. SSS was independently associated with mental health, with stronger associations among older (ages 14-16) versus younger (ages 10-13) adolescents. Adolescents with lower SSS reported higher psychological distress and inattention problems, as well as more conduct problems, in daily life. Those living in areas with higher income inequality reported significantly lower subjective social status, but this association was explained by family and neighborhood income. Findings illustrate that adolescents' SSS is correlated with both internalizing and externalizing mental health problems, and that by age 14 it becomes a unique predictor of mental health problems.

The economic bar is multidimensional, referring to a bundle of financial achievements that determine whether couples feel ready to wed. Using the Building Strong Families data set of low-income parents (n = 4,444), we operationalized this qualitative concept into a seven-item index and examined whether couples who met the economic bar by achieving the majority of the items were more likely to marry than couples who did not. Meeting the bar was associated with a two-thirds increase in marriage likelihood. The bar was not positively associated with cohabitation, suggesting that it applies specifically to marriage. When we examined different definitions of the bar based on whether the mother, father, or both parents contributed items, all variants were associated with marriage, even if the bar was based on the mother's economic accomplishments alone. When mothers contributed to the economic bar, they reported significantly higher relationship quality. Our results reinforce the importance of the multidimensional economic bar for marriage entry, highlighting the role of maternal economic contributions in low-income relationships.}, Doi = {10.1007/s13524-018-0726-z}, Key = {fds339452} } @article{fds337288, Author = {Gassman-Pines, A and Bellows, L}, Title = {Food Instability and Academic Achievement: A Quasi-Experiment Using SNAP Benefit Timing}, Journal = {American Educational Research Journal}, Volume = {55}, Number = {5}, Pages = {897-927}, Publisher = {American Educational Research Association (AERA)}, Year = {2018}, Month = {March}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.3102/0002831218761337}, Abstract = {Although social policies aimed at low-income families are thought to promote children’s educational success, little research has examined how these policies are related to children’s academic achievement.

We found that among married births, midpregnancy-married births (our preferred term for shotgun-married births) have been relatively stable at about 10 % over the past quarter-century while increasing substantially for vulnerable population subgroups. In 2012, among black and white less-educated and younger women, midpregnancy-married births accounted for approximately 20 % to 25 % of married first births. The increasing representation of midpregnancy-married births among married births raises concerns about well-being among at-risk families because midpregnancy marriages may be quite fragile. Our analysis revealed, however, that midpregnancy marriages were more likely to dissolve only among more advantaged groups.

Birth declines start five months after the job loss and then last for more than one year.

National data on risk behaviors also provide evidence that black teens reduce sexual activity and increase contraception use in response to job losses. Job losses seven to nine months after conception do not affect teen birthrates, indicating that teens do not anticipate job losses and lending confidence that job losses are "shocks" that can be viewed as quasi-experimental variation. We also find evidence that relatively advantaged black teens disproportionately abort after job losses, implying that the average child born to a black teen in the wake of job loss is relatively more disadvantaged.}, Doi = {10.1007/s13524-013-0231-3}, Key = {fds272745} } @article{fds272743, Author = {Gassman-Pines, A}, Title = {Daily spillover of low-income mothers' perceived workload to mood and mother-child interactions}, Journal = {Journal of Marriage and Family}, Volume = {75}, Number = {5}, Pages = {1304-1318}, Publisher = {WILEY}, Year = {2013}, Month = {October}, ISSN = {0022-2445}, url = {http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000323829900017&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=47d3190e77e5a3a53558812f597b0b92}, Abstract = {This study investigated associations of low-income working mothers' daily perceived workload and their reports of their own mood and their interactions with their young children.

We find little effect of job losses on the white teen birth rate. For black teens, however, job losses to 1% of the working-age population decrease the birth rate by around 2%. Birth declines start five months after the job loss and then last for over a year. Linking the timing of job losses and conceptions suggests that black teen births decline due to increased terminations and perhaps also changes in pre-pregnancy behaviors; national data on risk behaviors also provide evidence that black teens reduce sexual activity and increase contraception use in response to job losses. Job losses seven to nine months after conception do not affect teen birth rates, indicating that teens do not anticipate job losses and lending confidence that job losses are "shocks" that can be viewed as quasi-experimental variation. We also find evidence that relatively advantaged black teens disproportionately abort after job losses, implying that the average child born to a black teen in the wake of job loss is relatively more disadvantaged.<br><br>Institutional subscribers to the NBER working paper series, and residents of developing countries may download this paper without additional charge at <a href="http://www.nber.org/papers/w??19003" TARGET="_blank">www.nber.org</a>.<br>}, Key = {fds272740} } @misc{fds343241, Author = {Ananat, EO and Gassman-Pines, A and Francis, D and Gibson-Davis, CM}, Title = {Children Left Behind: The Effects of Statewide Job Loss on Student Achievement}, Year = {2011}, Month = {June}, Key = {fds343241} } @misc{fds326137, Author = {Ananat, EO and Gassman-Pines, A and Gibson-Davis, CM}, Title = {The effects of local employment losses on children's educational achievement}, Pages = {299-313}, Booktitle = {Whither Opportunity?: Rising Inequality, Schools, and Children's Life Chances}, Publisher = {Russell Sage}, Editor = {Gregory J.

Much of this interest has stemmed from the implementation of large-scale, nonexperimental and experimental studies assessing the effects of particular welfare-to-work approaches on school performance. These studies, in turn, were motivated by policy developments, starting in the 1980s, that first resulted in the Family Support Act of 1988; then over the course of the 1990s a series of welfare policy waiver programs in many states, and culminated in the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Weaver, 2000). That legislation transformed the welfare system in the United States from an entitlement program to one contingent on work effort and subject to a cumulative lifetime limit of 60 months. As of this writing, that act is still in the process of reauthorization in the U.S. Congress. Little research has examined whether race/ethnicity might moderate the effects of welfare policies in middle childhood. This question is of interest for several reasons. First, race and ethnicity continue to be major sources of social stratification in the United States. Racial and ethnic gaps in children's school achievement and earlier school readiness are persistent, despite some declines in recent years (Lee & Burkham, 2002; Jencks & Phillips, 1998).}, Doi = {10.1017/CBO9780511499760.019}, Key = {fds272738} } @misc{fds70402, Author = {Gassman-Pines, A. and Yoshikawa, H. and Nay, S.
