Determining Infants' and Toddlers' Home Environments: A Comprehensive Model of Children of Employed Mothers M.A. Thesis, The Ohio State University, 1991 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Child Health; Children, Home Environment; Gender Differences; Hispanics; Home Environment; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Marital Satisfaction/Quality; Marital Status; Maternal Employment; Poverty; Racial Differences; Regions This paper examines determinants of the home environments of six to thirty-five month old children of employed mothers, using data from the 1988 NLSY Merged Child-Mother Data Set (N=554). Multiple regression reveals that male children, younger children, children with health problems, and children living in poverty have lower HOME scores. Children of black and Mexican-Hispanic mothers, mothers with low self-esteem, and mothers living in the South have weaker home environments. While greater occupational complexity of mothers results in a stronger home environment, the same for fathers results in a weaker home environment. Finally, fewer children and greater interaction of the mother with her spouse lead to stronger home environments. |
