Predictors of Maternal Behavior and Their Effects on the Achievement of Children: Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Ph.D. Dissertation, Michigan State University, 1992. DAI-A 53/09, p. 3377, March 1993 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Armed Forces Qualifications Test (AFQT); Child Development; Family Income; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Marital Disruption; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Poverty; Racial Differences; Self-Esteem The purposes of this study were to identify factors that predict the parenting behavior of mothers, and factors that predict the achievement of children. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), the study focused on 898 mothers (African-American, n = 347; Caucasians, n = 551), and their 6 to 8 year-old children. Consistent with Belsky's model of the determinants of parenting, the quality of the home environment was influenced by maternal characteristics, contextual factors and child characteristics. Mothers who provided better quality home environments were older in age at the time of their first birth, and had higher levels of intelligence and self-esteem. Mothers who had higher levels of family income, fewer children, and had a spouse or partner in the home also provided more supportive home environments. Female children tended to receive more supportive care than male children. Additional analyses showed that the quality of the home environment was related to the achievement of children. Children who did well had mothers who provided more cognitively stimulating home environment. |

This study tested Belsky's model of the determinants of parenting. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), the study focused on 898 mothers (African Americans, n = 347; Caucasians, n = 551) and their 6- to 8-year-old children. Consistent with Belsky's model, mothers who provided better quality home environments had higher levels of education, intelligence, and self-esteem. Mothers with higher family incomes, fewer children. and higher marital quality provided more supportive home environments. In addition, age and gender of the children were significantly related to the quality of the children's home environments. Additional analyses indicated that the quality of the home environment that mothers of both ethnic groups provided was related to their children's achievement. |
