“…The results of this study are particularly important given the achievement gap between minority and White students (Bronstein, Stoll, Clauson, Abrams, & Briones, 1994;Hampton, Mumford, & Bond, 1998). Indeed, this study's findings suggest that phonics instruction may effectively contribute to reducing that gap.…”

This meta-analysis of 22 studies examines the relationship between phonics and the academic achievement of urban minority elementary school children. Further analyses distinguish between those studies that are of higher quality than the others and those studies that examine all minority students and mostly minority students. Results indicate a significant relationship between phonics instruction and higher academic achievement. Phonics instruction, as a whole, is associated with academic variables by about .23 to .33 of a standard deviation unit. This relationship holds for studies that examine all minority students and those that include mostly minority students. The results also hold for higher quality studies. The significance of these results is discussed.

“…These other factors may include the pre-divorce father-adolescent relationship (e.g., Amato and Booth 1996), quality of the ex-spousal relationship, the father's own personality characteristics and behaviors (e.g., inconsistent/ sporadic contact with the child, abusiveness, negative disclosures), and frequency of father-adolescent contact or visitation. Indeed, although the literature reveals mixed findings (Amato and Glibreth 1999), some studies have shown that more frequent contact with fathers is linked to positive adolescent outcomes such as better academic performance, positive peer relations (Bronstein et al 1994), social and cognitive competence (Forehand et al 1990), and lower problem behavior (Buchanan et al 1996). Other possible personal qualities of the adolescent, as well as the mother, should be examined to determine whether they buffer or exacerbate the influence of negative maternal disclosure.…”

Utilizing longitudinal data from a project that examined the post-divorce lives of mothers and adolescents, we addressed two questions: (a) Does exposure to negative maternal disclosure about the ex-husband/father impact adolescents' perceptions of the father-adolescent relationship? and (b) Are adolescents with low emotional autonomy and high emotional inter-reactivity especially vulnerable? Participants were 154 adolescents, who ranged in age from 12 to 18 years at wave two. Although there was no significant bivariate association between maternal negative disclosure about the father and father-adolescent relationship quality, boys' level of emotional autonomy and emotional inter-reactivity moderated the association between maternal negative disclosure and the father-adolescent relationship. As hypothesized, boys with lower levels of emotional autonomy and higher levels of emotional inter-reactivity vis-à-vis their mothers perceived a lower quality of relationship with their father when their mother frequently disclosed negatively about the ex-husband/father. Research and applied implications are discussed.

“…In recent years, family scientists have sought to examine family factors that might neutralize the effects of parental divorce and remarriage. Some social scientists have suggested the parents and/or stepparents of divorce who are actively involved in school and in the education of their children may not experience the downward effects that divorce and remarriage usually exert on the academic achievement of children (Bronstein, Stoll, Clauson, Abrams, & Briones, 1994;Hetherington, 1992). They believe that if one considers the effects of parental involvement, the effects of parental divorce and remarriage will disappear.…”
