Over Time

This short-term longitudinal study investigates whether maternal educational attainment, maternal employment status, and family income affect African American children’s behavioral and cognitive functioning over time through their impacts on mothers’ psychological functioning and parenting efficacy in a sample of 100 poor and near-poor single Black mothers and their 3- and 4-year-old focal children. Results indicate that education, working status, and earnings display statistically significant, negative, indirect relations with behavior problems and, with the exception of earnings, statistically significant, positive, indirect relationships with teacher-rated adaptive language skills over time. Findings suggest further that parenting efficacy may mediate the link between poor and near-poor single Black mothers’ depressive symptoms and their preschoolers’ subsequent school adjustment. Implications of these findings for policy and program interventions are discussed.

Mean Differences

Using Arnott's 1972 scale, ideal and actual maternal sex-role attitudes were assessed for father, mother, and an adolescent family member in 181 rural and urban families from the midwestern United States. Although family members' perceptions of the attitudes were significantly and positively correlated, adolescents were significantly less traditional than their parents, and mothers less traditional than fathers. For all family members, ideal and actual maternal roles were closest when mothers were actually employed part-time. Furthermore, family members agreed more on mother's actual role (both in terms of high correlations and smaller mean differences) than on mother's ideal role.
