The Effects of Childhood Circumstances on Adult Health and SES

该项目将设计回顾性的历史，捕捉最相关的情况下，PSID的受访者在他们的童年生活。这些情况将包括他们的经济生活的各个方面，包括贫困时期、家庭生活和家庭功能失调的任何原因、逮捕和定罪的历史、他们的友谊网络和学校经历。传统上，社会发展研究所依靠一个答复者报告配偶双方的情况。在这个项目中，我将通过比较相同历史的配偶报告和自我报告来分析代理报告和自我报告的一致性。基于我过去的研究，我将使用这种增强的PSID数据来研究早期生活条件的影响，包括儿童的心理和身体健康对成年后的显着成年结果的影响，这些成年人的心理和身体健康以及社会经济地位（SES），包括教育水平和轨迹，家庭收入，家庭财富，个人收入，劳动力供应，以及保持和保持婚姻的倾向。该项目还将调查儿童精神障碍的可能决定因素，包括家庭、学校和社交网络中的问题。

This project will design retrospective histories that capture the most relevant circumstances in which PSID respondents lived during their childhood years. These circumstances will include aspects of their economic i life including periods of deprivation, their family life and any reasons for family dysfunction, history of arrests and convictions, their friendship networks, and school experiences. Traditionally, PSID has relied on one respondent to report on both spouses. In this project I will analyze the congruency of proxy and self-reports by comparing spousal and self-reports of the same histories. Building on my past research, I will use this enhanced PSID data to examine impacts of early life conditions including childhood mental and physical health on salient later life adult outcomes spanning adult mental and physical health and socioeconomic status (SES) including levels and trajectories of education, family income, household wealth, individual earnings, labor supply, and the propensity to stay and remain married. The project will also investigate possible determinants of childhood mental disorders including issues in the family, the schools, and social networks.
