Released/updated on: 2023-04-25

Geographic coverage: United States, Michigan

Time period: 1990-01-01--2005-12-31

The Michigan Longitudinal Study (MLS) is a long-term multi-project collaboration to describe the interaction of behavior, social influence, brain vulnerability, and genetic risk, as they create the development of risk for, or resilience against the abuse of substances, and as they continue to have impact on health throughout the lifespan. The project's special focus is to archive the real-time observational data collected initially on VHS videotapes and converted to MP4 video format. A total of 2238 social interactional videotapes were recorded involving the Eyberg Parent-Child interaction task carried out separately with each parent, a standardized marital interaction problem solving task, a standardized family interaction task, and undetermined interaction tasks. The current digital video data is a small portion of the overall project database that permits analysis of microlevel social interaction with facial and emotional display characteristics and the examination of its long-term predictive power from childhood to adulthood.

Released/updated on: 2012-11-28

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 2011-08-01--2012-02-29

The New Family Structure Study (NFSS) is a comparative, social-science data-collection project, which focused on American young adults (ages 18-39) who were raised in different types of family arrangements with varying household experiences. The sample included respondents that had lived in biologically-intact households, lived with cohabiting parents, adoptive, step, or single parents, with parents who had same-sex relationships, or with parents who remarried after divorce. Respondents were asked about a range of topics, including social behaviors: such as educational attainment and performance, work history, risk-taking, and religiosity; health behaviors: such as substance abuse, sexually transmitted infections, and emotional states (depression, anger, and stress), and relationships: including the quality and stability of romantic relationships, marital history, fertility, sexual orientation, and family connectedness. Additional questions asked whether respondents voted in the 2008 presidential election, how much time they spent on various activities; watching TV, gaming, and on social networking sites, and how many Facebook "friends" they had. Demographic information includes age, education level, race, gender, income, marital status, employment status, and household size.
