Weinraub, Marsha; Wolf, Barbara M.

Child Development, v54 n5 p1297-1311 Oct 1983

Questionnaires were used to measure mothers' social networks, coping abilities, and life stress. A mother/child interaction situation was used to measure maternal control, maternal maturity demands, maternal nurturance, mother/child communication, and child compliance. Results indicated significant differences in the lives of single and married mothers. (Author/RH)
