All in a Day's Work: Job Experiences, Self-Esteem, and Fathering in Working-Class Families.
Grimm-Thomas, Karen; Perry-Jenkins, Maureen
Family Relations, v43 n2 p174-81 Apr 1994
Examined how working-class fathers' job experiences affected their self-esteem and parenting styles. Conducted home interviews with 59 working-class fathers in dual-earner families and their target child, who was aged 8 to 12 years. Found that more positive fathers' work experiences, higher their self-esteem, which predicted more accepting parenting style. (Author/NB)
