Single Mother Families

This study examined the moderation effect of family functioning on the relationship between maternal expectations of the children’s future and adolescent achievement motivation in a sample of 432 Chinese single-mother families experiencing economic disadvantage in Hong Kong. Results indicated that family functioning moderated the influence of maternal expectations of the children’s future on adolescent achievement motivation. The relationship between maternal expectations and adolescent achievement motivation was significantly positive in single-mother families having higher family functioning, while the relationship was not significant in those families with relatively lower family functioning. The main and moderating effects were found stable between immigrant and nonimmigrant mothers. The present study provides important insight into how single-mother families living in poverty strive to nurture their children in the face of adversity. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.

Single Mother Families

This study examines whether the effects of single-mother families (SMFs) on adolescent problem behavior are buffered by supportive mothering and the involvement of nonresident fathers and whether the effectiveness of these two buffers varies by ethnicity. Based on the data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the authors find that supportive mothering within SMFs buffers their effects for most groups. Compared to other ethnic groups, Asian American mothers’ supportiveness is less effective in buffering the impact on drug use. For Black adolescents, nonresident father involvement buffers the effects on delinquency and drug use. However, Asian American and Hispanic father involvement in SMFs is associated with increased problem behavior. The findings suggest that ethnic groups with more experience dealing with SMFs may be ahead of those with less experience in developing child-rearing practices that buffer the effects of SMFs on problem behavior.
