Richmond-Abbott, Marie

Journal of Divorce, v8 n1 p61-81 Fall 1984

Surveyed 134 single mothers and their children to examine sex-role attitudes and sex-stereotyped behavior. Results showed mothers generally held liberal attitudes, varying with education and occupation. Children reflected their mothers' attitudes, but preferred traditional behavior and did sex-stereotyped chores. (JAC)
