Alternative methods for the quantitative analysis of panel data in family research: pooled time-series models
Article Abstract:
Pooled time-series data sets are useful as quantitative panel analysis techniques in situations where determinants of change in continuous outcomes are modeled. They are especially appropriate in the analysis of multiple-wave panel data. Fixed effect and random effects models based on pooled time-series data have some advantages for family researchers since they can be estimated with the standard regression packages and allow the analysis of data sets with only two waves, compared with multivariate analysis of variance and growth curve and hierarchical effects models.

Belief and behavior: does religion matter in today's marriage?
Article Abstract:
A study finds little support for the theory that increased religious activity improves a marriage. While an increase in religious activities decreases the probability of divorce, it does not increase the interaction between the couples or decrease their conflicts. However, improved marital quality increases church attendance and the effect of religion on daily life. The results of this analysis suggest that religious institutions are not providing the assistance required by the couples.

Women's marital naming in two generations: a national study
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the naming convention used by 929 married women and their adult children shows that about 1.4% of the married women and 4.6% of their children retained their maiden name. While age does not affect the retention of the maiden name, educational levels and career goals do. The use of the maiden name by the mother increases the chances of her daughter doing the same but has no effect on her son's wife. Most of the women use their maiden names as a middle name.
