1.	Beyond Provisions: The Relationship between Poverty and Parenting among Single Mothers Presented: Philadelphia, PA, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, March-April 2005 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Parents, Behavior; Parents, Single; Poverty Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The primary aim of this study is to assess how poverty status influences the parenting of single mothers. A common approach in the literature assessing the parenting of single mothers is to target only low-income mothers. Currently we do not know how poverty influences variations in parenting within single mother families. The results from this study offer several important contributions, including the identification of the conditions in which poor families demonstrate positive parenting behaviors. In this work, the results suggest the poverty status of single mothers to be primarily unrelated to their parenting. Specifically, the parental style, support, and monitoring of single mothers is not associated with their poverty status. In contrast, the parenting measure related to the poverty status of poor single mothers may be indicative of a positive parenting approach. Poor single mothers are more involved in establishing limits for their adolescent children

2.	Beyond Provisions: The Relationship between Poverty Status and Parenting among Single Mothers Marriage and Family Review 42,4 (2007): 63-87. Also: https://doi.org/10.1300/J002v42n04_04 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) Keyword(s): Family Structure; Mothers; Parenting Skills/Styles; Parents, Single; Poverty Using data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth 1997 (NLSY-97), this research provides a descriptive portrait of the relationship between poverty and parenting among single mothers of adolescent children. This research contributes to our understanding of how strongly and consistently poverty status relates to various parenting dimensions, including parenting style, monitoring, relationship quality, and limit-setting. This study extends prior work by focusing on within group variation of parenting of single-mother family structures, and including non-poor single mothers in the analyses. Using multinomial logistic and OLS regression, results indicate poverty status is unrelated to the style, relationship quality, and monitoring of single mothers, but it is moderately related to greater involvement in limit-setting. Overall, the experience of poverty does not appear negatively related to the parenting of single mothers. These results indicate poor single mothers appear to manage their parental strategies equally well compared to non-poor single mothers. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

3.	Poor Parents, Poor Parenting? The Influence of Poverty Presented: Boston, MA, Population Association of America Meetings, April 2004 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Children, Behavioral Development; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Family Influences; Parenting Skills/Styles; Poverty Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study investigates the relationship between family poverty status, parenting, and children's behavioral outcomes. A social-contextual approach is employed to warrant an isolated assessment of parenting only within married two parent families. In the analyses, a sociodemographic profile of parenting is constructed, illustrating how parenting style, control, and support varies across poor statuses. Then, the interactions of poverty and parenting strategies are examined in predicting negative child outcomes, including delinquency. Results of this study have implications for the home environments of impoverished children, as well as programs designed to improve the economic well-being of families. This study uses data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth 1997 (NLSY97). The preliminary results suggest parenting styles differ by poverty status for both married mothers and fathers. Also, maternal monitoring and paternal support are associated with family poor status. Subsequent tests will illustrate what role these relationships play in explaining children's behavioral outcomes.
