DeGarmo, David S.; Forgatch, Marion S.; Martinez, Charles R., Jr.

Child Development, v70 n5 p1231-45 Sep-Oct 1999

Examined effects of SES components for divorced/recently separated mothers of 6- to 9-year-old sons. Found that SES indicators were associated with better parenting. Parenting indirectly affected achievement through home skill building and school behavior. Maternal education direct effect was mediated by home skill building. Maternal occupation effect on achievement was not mediated. Income measures had no direct effects on achievement. (Author/KB)
