The Meaning of Maternal Employment for Mothers and Their Perceptions of Their Three-Year-Old Children.
Alvarez, William F.
Child Development, v56 n2 p350-60 Apr 1985
The relationships between features of the maternal employment situation and mothers' positive descriptions of their three-year-old children were investigated in a sample of 152 White, two-parent families. Employed mothers' positive motivation for working, low role conflict, and gains in self-worth were all associated with mothers' favorable descriptions of their children. (Author/RH)
