The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods
(PHDCN) was a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families,
schools, and neighborhoods affect child and adolescent development.
One component of the PHDCN was the Longitudinal Cohort Study, which
was a series of coordinated longitudinal studies that followed over
6,000 randomly selected children, adolescents, and young adults, and
their primary caregivers over time to examine the changing
circumstances of their lives, as well as the personal characteristics,
that might lead them toward or away from a variety of antisocial
behaviors. Numerous measures were administered to respondents to
gauge various aspects of human development, including individual
differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. One such
measure was the Conflict Tactics Scale for Partner and Spouse
(CTSP). The CTSP was administered to either the primary caregiver (PC)
of subjects belonging to Cohorts 0 to 15, or to the subjects of Cohort
18. It measured both the extent to which partners in a dating,
cohabiting, or marital relationship engage in psychological and
physical attacks on each other and also their use of reasoning or
negotiation to deal with conflicts. |

Purpose of the Study: | Project on Human Development in Chicago
Neighborhoods
The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN)
was a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families, schools,
and neighborhoods affect child and adolescent development. It was
designed to advance the understanding of the developmental pathways of
both positive and negative human social behaviors. In particular, the
project examined the causes and pathways of juvenile delinquency,
adult crime, substance abuse, and violence. At the same time, the
project provided a detailed look at the environments in which these
social behaviors took place by collecting substantial amounts of data
about urban Chicago, including its people, institutions, and
resources.
Longitudinal Cohort Study
One component of the PHDCN was the Longitudinal Cohort Study, which
was a series of coordinated longitudinal studies that followed over
6,000 randomly selected children, adolescents, and young adults, and
their primary caregivers over time to examine the changing
circumstances of their lives, as well as the personal characteristics,
that might lead them toward or away from a variety of antisocial
behaviors. The age cohorts include birth (0), 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18
years. Numerous measures were administered to respondents to gauge
various aspects of human development, including individual
differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences.
Conflict Tactics Scale for Partner and Spouse (CTSP)
The data files contain information from the Conflict Tactics Scale
for Partner and Spouse (CTSP) protocol. This protocol (known in the
field as simply, CTS) has been a widely used and cited quantitative
measure of victimization in North American intimate partner
relationships. Moreover, the CTSP measures both the extent to which
partners in a dating, cohabiting, or marital relationship engage in
psychological and physical attacks on one another, as well as their
use of reasoning or negotiation to deal with conflicts. The purpose of
the PHDCN-administered CTSP was to obtain information about different
ways in which partners have handled arguments during the past
year. The responses to conflict can be grouped into three types:
Verbal Reasoning, Verbal Aggression, and Physical Violence. |

Study Design: | Project on Human Development in Chicago
Neighborhoods
The city of Chicago was selected as the research site for the PHDCN
because of its extensive racial, ethnic, and social-class diversity. The
project collapsed 847 census tracts in the city of Chicago into 343
neighborhood clusters (NCs) based upon seven groupings of racial/ethnic
composition and three levels of socioeconomic status. The NCs were
designed to be ecologically meaningful. They were composed of
geographically contiguous census tracts, and geographic boundaries and
knowledge of Chicago's neighborhoods were considered in the definition
of the NCs. Each NC was comprised of approximately 8,000 people.
Longitudinal Cohort Study
For the Longitudinal Cohort Study, a stratified probability sample
of 80 neighborhoods was selected. The 80 NCs were sampled from the 21
strata (seven racial/ethnic groups by three socioeconomic levels) with
the goal of representing the 21 cells as equally as possible to
eliminate the confounding between racial/ethnic mix and socioeconomic
status. Once the 80 NCs were chosen, then block groups were selected
at random within each of the sample neighborhoods. A complete listing
of dwelling units was collected for all sampled block groups.
Pregnant women, children, and young adults in seven age cohorts
(birth, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 years) were identified through
in-person screening of approximately 40,000 dwelling units within the
80 NCs. The screening response rate was 80 percent. Children within
six months of the birthday that qualified them for the sample were
selected for inclusion in the Longitudinal Cohort Study. A total of
8,347 participants were identified through the screening. Of the
eligible study participants, 6,228 were interviewed.
For all cohorts except 0 and 18, primary caregivers as well as the
child were interviewed. The primary caregiver was the person found to
spend the most time taking care of the child. Separate research
assistants administered the primary caregiver interviews and the child
interviews. The primary method of data collection was face-to-face
interviewing, although participants who refused to complete the
personal interview were administered a phone interview. Interviews
were conducted in Spanish, English, and Polish. In Wave 1 the complete
protocol was translated into Spanish and Polish. An interpreter was
hired for participants who spoke a language other than English,
Spanish, or Polish. Depending on the age and wave of data collection,
participants were paid between $5 and $20 per interview. Other
incentives, such as free passes to museums, the aquarium, and monthly
drawing prizes were also included.
Interview protocols included a wide range of questions. For
example, some questions assessed impulse control and sensation-seeking
traits, cognitive and language development, leisure activities,
delinquency and substance abuse, friends' activities, and
self-perception, attitudes, and values. Caregivers were also
interviewed about family structure, parent characteristics,
parent-child relationships, parent discipline styles, family mental
health, and family history of criminal behavior and drug use.
Conflict Tactics Scale for Partner and Spouse (CTSP)
Completed between 1994 and 1997, the Conflict Tactics Scale for
Partner and Spouse (CTSP) was completed by either the PC of subjects
belonging to Cohorts 0 to 15, or by the subjects of Cohort 18 of the
PHDCN Longitudinal Cohort Study. Respondents were first asked
preinterview questions which assessed their marital status, whether
the respondent was currently living with his or her partner, and how
long he or she had been in a relationship with the current partner.
Throughout the PHDCN-administered version of the CTSP, respondents
were frequently asked to recall the last time they had argued with
their partners (occurring within the last year). Respondents were
asked to report the frequency of such behaviors. The instrument
included questions such as, "Discussed an issue calmly?", "Sulked
and/or refused to talk about an issue?", "Done or said something to
spite your partner?", "Pushed, grabbed, or shoved your partner?", and
"Used a knife of fired a gun?" Using a six-point Likert-type scale (0
= never, 1 = once, 2 = twice, 3 = 3 to 5 times, 4 = 4 to 10 times, 5 =
11 to 20 times, and 6 = more than 20 times), respondents answered 19
pairs of questions--one inquiring about the respondent and the other
inquiring about the partner. |
