What Adolescents Think of Relationship Portrayals on Social Media

Understanding the factors influencing adolescents’ relationship views is important because early romantic relationships often act as precursors for relationships in adulthood. This study sought to examine the types of relationship-focused content adolescents witness on social media and how they perceive its effect on their romantic relationship beliefs.

Thirty Years of Changing Cohabitation Experience in the U.S.

This Family Profile documents shifts in the percentage of women who have ever cohabited over the past thirty years (1987 to 2017). The trend of increases in cohabitation has recently stalled, indicating a plateau in cohabitation experience in the United States. Due to the relatively short duration of cohabiting unions (about 2 years), it is important to examine changes in women's experiences of cohabitation and not just their status at the time of interview.

Childhood Trauma Impacts Millions of Americans

Childhood trauma impacts millions of Americans, and its consequences can be devastating. Children experiencing high levels of trauma can see dramatically lower life expectancies, and the CDC estimates it accounts for billions of dollars in healthcare costs and lost productivity.

Asymmetrically Committed Relationships

This study compared romantic relationships in which there was a substantial difference in the commitment levels of the two partners to those with more equal levels. Couples who were cohabitating or who had children together were more likely to be in Asymmetrically Committed Relationships (ACRs) than their counterparts. Both more and less committed partners reported lower relationship adjustment, more conflict, and more aggression in their relationships, even when controlling for their levels of commitment; a significant finding given that high levels of commitment usually inhibit conflict and aggression.

NEWS YOU CAN USE

Sending Nudes has Become the Norm

Sending nudes has become the norm among youth today. Afterall, the way youth communicate and have relationships has become inextricably linked to technology. Youth need to be made aware of what could happen when they share explicit images of themselves, also known as self-generated child sexual abuse materials (SG-CSAM).

How Many Years of Life Will a Bad Relationship Cost You?

According to a recent article published in the journal, Psychology and Aging, being in a relationship, compared to being single, could mean an extra 1.5 years in longevity per decade lived. Add that up over a 50-year marriage and we’re talking about a lot more evening walks, time spent with family, and Social Security checks collected.

Is Marriage Good for Your Health?

Here’s a chicken-or-egg problem: Research shows married people enjoy better health. But why? Is it because marriage is good for your health and encourages healthier behavior, or because healthier individuals are more likely to get married? A study published in the September issue of the journal Personal Relationships, written by Cortez and colleagues, investigates the link between being healthy or unhealthy and getting married.

TOOLS YOU CAN USE

Focus on the Positive

Catch your teen doing something good. Noticing the positive can go far to stop the negative. Think about it this way: if you’re always focused on problems, you keep drawing attention to negative behavior. Point out when your teen is being helpful or kind, and you’ll make it clear that those are the actions you desire.

The Modern Family

Families are important social institutions whose structures, household sizes, and living arrangements have changed substantially since the 1970s. This 2-part student activity for grades 9-12 helps students work in groups to analyze census data, and compare their observations in video clips.

Relationships and Social-Emotional Skills Can Support Academic Success

Early data from a new Child Trends evaluation of youthCONNECT, an integrated student supports initiative aimed at high school students, shows that strong relationships with adults and social and emotional skills are associated with academic success. Additionally, students who reported having an adult with whom they could discuss educational and career goals reported engaging in fewer risky behaviors.
