And thereby examining the extent to which socioeconomic differences in the use of health care in young adulthood are based on differences in personality characteristics, independent of the (parental) socioeconomic background. Personality of more than 13,000 Dutch 12-year old participants was related to their health and socioeconomic position after a follow-up of 13 years (when the participants had become young adults). In young adulthood, low socioeconomic status was related to high health care use (e.g. low education -hospital admission: OR = 2.21; low income -GP costs: OR = 1.25). Odds ratios (for the socioeconomic health differences) did not decrease when controlled for personality. In this Dutch sample of younger people, personality appeared not to be a driving force for socioeconomic differences in health care use. Findings thus do not support the personali...

Especially the public opinion in the United States has been one of enormous concern for the effects on children, since divorce rates have developed strongly, and are still significantly higher than in any other country in the world. It has been shown that there exists a clear intergenerational transmission of divorce risks in the USA: children of divorced parents divorce significantly more often than comparable children of non-divorced parents. These results were also found for the GDR, the FRG and the Netherlands. The research on the intergenerational transmission of divorce risks has not yet been done for the Latin part of Europe. Therefore it is impossible to generalise the divorce risks as a result of parental divorce for the whole of the European Union. It might be possible that divorces and their risk...

We use the sociometric data collection from the Dutch "Secondary Education Pupil Cohort 1999" to identify peer relations in a sample of almost 20,000 students in the first grade of secondary education (mean age 13). This information is matched to data on educational attainment from

Using a unique dataset that combines panel data from a birth cohort with earnings data from a largenationwide income survey and national tax files, our findings show that cognitive skillsand schooling of the son account for 50% of the father-son earnings elasticity. Educationby far accounts for the largest part, while cognitive skills mainly work indirectly througheducational attainment. Social capital of the neighborhood and cultural capital of theparents account for an additional 6% of the intergeneration income persistence. Fromthese two additional mechanisms, social capital appears to play a stronger role than thecultural capital of the parents. This means that 44% of the interg...

We adopt a simple dynamic approach whichassumes that past involvement in risky behaviour reduces individual restraints forfuture participation in risky behaviour. We use a ten years education panel followingDutch adolescents who participated in a survey in their first year of high school in 1999.This information was matched to annual information on police arrests based on registrydata. Our results show that school performance (as measured by test scores) is the keysocial bond element preventing young people from engaging in risk behaviour. We alsofind that involvement in past risky behaviour increases the likelihood of future misstepsand that the protective influence of school performance is mitigated.

We use a large Dutch representative longitudinalcohort study “Secondary Education Pupil Cohort 1999.” In the first year of this study, personalitywas assessed with the FFPI as part of a comprehensive student questionnaire. Our results show thatwhile cognitive skills play an important role in explaining early school-leaving, non-cognitiveskills such as achievement motivation, conscientiousness, agreeableness and openness to experienceplay an important role as well. In addition, we find that differences in non-cognitive skillsaffect the impact of cognitive skills performance on early school-leaving.
