Family Dynamics, Fertility, and Investments in Children across Generations

 描述(申请人提供)：收入动态小组研究(PSID)是一项始于1968年的对具有全国代表性的美国家庭样本的纵向调查。PSID收集了47年(截至2015年)39个家庭及其后代的数据，理所当然地被认为是美国经验性社会科学研究的基石。通过对经济和社会福祉的长期衡量，这项研究激励研究人员调查经济、社会、人口和健康过程的动态及其相互关系。NICHD共同资助了2003至2015年间所有七次采访的两年一次的核心PSID访谈。该项目将通过以下具体目标在下一个五年周期的投资基础上再接再厉：(1)在2016年和2017年筛选和招募新移民进修样本，包括大约750个在1997年后移民到美国的移民家庭(PSID上一次增加移民进修样本)，并在2017年和2019年两轮核心PSID调查中采访这些家庭；以及(2)从所有其他PSID受访者那里收集2017和2019年两轮核心PSID调查的三个模块-家庭动态、生育率和新生儿以及教育-的数据，涵盖2017年约9,850个家庭和2019年约10,244个家庭。这些数据将通过PSID在线数据中心进行清理、记录和免费分发，该中心提供定制的摘录和码本。此外，还将继续向现有数据用户和新数据用户提供外联和支助。这个项目将做出几个主要贡献。通过在PSID中筛选和招募新的移民更新样本，该项目将提高PSID的代表性和利用这些数据--现在和将来--的研究结果的普遍性。正在进行的关于家庭动态、儿童和教育的数据收集将使PSID保持作为代表整个美国人口的唯一长期小组代表，可以在一生中、跨代人和随着时间的推移来研究这些主题。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) is a longitudinal survey of a nationally-representative sample of U.S. families that began in 1968. With data collected on the same families and their descendants for 39 waves over 47 years (as of 2015), the PSID can justifiably be considered a cornerstone for empirical social science research in the U.S. Through its long-term measurement of economic and social wellbeing, the study has inspired researchers to investigate the dynamics of economic, social, demographic, and health processes and their interrelationships. NICHD has co-funded the collection of the biennial Core PSID interview for all seven waves from 2003 to 2015. This project will build upon this investment in the next five-year cycle through the following specific aims: (1) screen and recruit a new immigrant refresher sample in 2016 and 2017, comprising approximately 750 immigrant households that migrated to the U.S. after 1997 (when PSID last added an immigrant refresher), and interview these families for two rounds of the Core PSID survey in 2017 and 2019; and (2) collect data from all other PSID respondents on three modules-family dynamics, fertility and newborns, and education-from two rounds of the Core PSID survey in 2017 and 2019, covering approximately 9,850 households in 2017 and 10,244 households in 2019. These data will be cleaned, documented, and distributed free of charge through the PSID Online Data Center, which provides customized extracts and codebooks. In addition, continuing outreach and support will be provided to established and new data users. This project will make several major contributions. By screening and recruiting a new immigrant refresher sample into PSID, this project will enhance the representativeness of PSID and the generalizability of results of studies using these data-now and into the future. The ongoing collection of data on family dynamics, children, and education will maintain PSID as the only long-term panel representative of the full U.S. population that can be used to study these topics over the lifecourse, across generations, and over time.
