The 2018 Atlanta Youth Count (AYC18) was a follow-up study to the 2015 Atlanta Youth Count and Needs Assessment (AYCNA), expanded in 2018 to specifically address sex and labor trafficking among youth experiencing homelessness in metro Atlanta. The goals of this project were to: 1) provide metro Atlanta service providers, policymakers, and youth advocates with practical information on the size, nature, and needs of the homeless, precariously housed, and runaway youth in our community who are involved in various forms of sex and labor trafficking; 2) collect information that can be used to develop and refine policies, programs, and interventions …

In early 2015, researchers, community advocates, service providers, and students from across metro Atlanta joined together to plan and conduct the Atlanta Youth Count and Needs Assessment (AYCNA). The goals of the project were to: 1) provide metro-Atlanta service providers, policymakers, and youth advocates practical information on the size, nature, and needs of the homeless, precariously housed, and runaway youth in our community; 2) collect information that can be used to develop and refine policies, programs, and interventions to help these youth in our community; and 3) encourage a community-wide dialogue about the needs and social determinants of youth homelessness. …


Purchases, Penalties, And Power: The Relationship Between Earnings And Housework, Daniel L. Carlson, Jamie L. Lynch Jan 2015

Purchases, Penalties, And Power: The Relationship Between Earnings And Housework, Daniel L. Carlson, Jamie L. Lynch

Sociology Faculty Publications

Studies examining the association of housework with earnings have not tested for causal directionality despite competing theories about causal ordering. Autonomy theory, and the relative resources, gender display, and gender deviance neutralization hypotheses suggest personal and relative earnings affect time in housework while human capital theory implies the opposite. Using data from N = 3,719 continuously married couples in Waves 1 and 2 of the National Survey of Families and Households and structural equation models, we find that wives' personal earnings and housework are reciprocally related. Her earnings have a stronger effect on housework than vice versa. For husbands, time …


The Division Of Childcare, Sexual Intimacy, And Relationship Quality In Couples, Daniel L. Carlson, Sarah Hanson, Andrea Fitzroy Jan 2015

The Division Of Childcare, Sexual Intimacy, And Relationship Quality In Couples, Daniel L. Carlson, Sarah Hanson, Andrea Fitzroy

Sociology Faculty Publications

Increasingly, both mothers and fathers are expected to play an equal role in child rearing. Nonetheless, we know little about how childcare arrangements affect couples’ sexual intimacy and relationship quality. Research has focused on the effect of the division of paid labor and housework on couples’ relationships - finding that egalitarianism is problematic for sexual intimacy, relationship quality, and relationship stability. These findings, nonetheless, come almost universally from studies utilizing decades old data and which fail to examine the division of childcare. In this study we update this work by utilizing data from the 2006 Marital and Relationship Study (MARS) …


The Gendered Division Of Housework And Couples’ Sexual Relationships: A Re-Examination, Daniel L. Carlson, Amanda J. Miller, Sharon Sassler, Sarah Hanson Jan 2014

The Gendered Division Of Housework And Couples’ Sexual Relationships: A Re-Examination, Daniel L. Carlson, Amanda J. Miller, Sharon Sassler, Sarah Hanson

Sociology Faculty Publications

Contemporary men and women increasingly express preferences for egalitarian unions. One recent high profile study (Kornrich, Brines, & Leupp, 2013) found that married couples with more equal divisions of labor had sex less frequently than couples with conventional divisions of domestic labor. Others (Gager & Yabiku, 2010) found that performing more domestic labor was associated with greater sexual frequency, regardless of gender. Both studies drew from the same data source, which was over two decades old. We utilize data from the 2006 Marital and Relationship Survey (MARS) to update this work. We find no significant differences in sexual frequency and …


Institutional Capacity To Respond To The Ethical Challenges Of Patient Sexual Expression In State Psychiatric Hospitals In The United States, Eric R. Wright, Heather A. Mccabe, Harold E. Koorman Jan 2012

Institutional Capacity To Respond To The Ethical Challenges Of Patient Sexual Expression In State Psychiatric Hospitals In The United States, Eric R. Wright, Heather A. Mccabe, Harold E. Koorman

Sociology Faculty Publications

Patient sexual expression in psychiatric institutions is a major clinical and administrative challenge. For this study, hospital facility directors were surveyed and asked about the existence and nature of formal policies regarding patient sexuality-related needs and staff preparedness to handle various forms of patient sexual expression. Consistent with prior studies, the survey fi ndings show formal policies tend to enforce a punitive response to sexual behavior. More important, the results also reveal a workforce poorly prepared to negotiate the complex ethical issues that arise in addressing patient sexual expression in state psychiatric institutions in the U.S.


Race And Socioeconomic Status Differences In Study Abroad Participation: The Role Of Habitus, Social Networks, And Cultural Capital, Jennifer Renee Simon, James W. Ainsworth Jan 2012

Race And Socioeconomic Status Differences In Study Abroad Participation: The Role Of Habitus, Social Networks, And Cultural Capital, Jennifer Renee Simon, James W. Ainsworth

Sociology Faculty Publications

This study examines how race and socioeconomic status contribute to disparities in study abroad participation. Our mixed methods approach provides a broad overview of the selection process into study abroad using national data. It also provides a nuanced understanding of the mechanisms that perpetuate inequality among Black and lower class students. Both quantitative and qualitative results show that students’ habits, social networks, and cultural capital shape their study abroad experiences. We find that students with a positive predisposition toward internationalization (having foreign-born parents and/or experiencing different cultures overseas) were more likely to study abroad.Whites and high socioeconomic status students were …

“A Kiss For Mother, A Hug For Dad”: The Early 20th Century Parents’ Day Campaign, Ralph Larossa, Jaimie Ann Carboy Jan 2008

“A Kiss For Mother, A Hug For Dad”: The Early 20th Century Parents’ Day Campaign, Ralph Larossa, Jaimie Ann Carboy

Sociology Faculty Publications

Father’s Day and Mother’s Day occupy sacred positions in American society—at least today. Unbeknownst to many, however, there was a campaign in the 1920s and 1930s to change Father’s Day and Mother’s Day to Parents’ Day, so that fathers and mothers would be honored on the same day. The campaign, based in New York City, was essentially a debate about the cultural position of parents in American society. How the campaign came to be—and why, in the end, it failed—illustrate the political maneuvering that characterizes people’s efforts to draw symbolic boundaries around fatherhood and motherhood.

Primary Group Contact And Elderly Morale: An Exchange/Power Analysis, James J. Dowd, Ralph Larossa Jan 1982

Primary Group Contact And Elderly Morale: An Exchange/Power Analysis, James J. Dowd, Ralph Larossa

Sociology Faculty Publications

Using a sample of 757 middle-aged and older residents of the Atlanta metropolitan region, the relationship between primary group contact and morale was investigated. Controlling on sex and dependency, it was found that interaction with children had a negative impact on the morale of dependent, older males. This finding was explained in terms of the power-dependence relationships that exist within the family. It was argued that visits with children and grandchildren are perceived by the dependent older male as a drama in which the ascending generations legitimate their claims to leadership through a gradual process of situation redefinition. One manifest …
