This study examines the relations between several variables that distinguish between families, such as quality of the home environment, family income and maternal intelligence, and two child outcomes, verbal intelligence and behavioral problems. The central question addressed is which of the family and maternal factors assessed in this study are related to the two child outcomes, when the other factors are controlled? Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth were used to address this question. Analyses were done for the total sample of 587 four-year-olds. In addition, separate analyses were done for three ethnic subsamples: African-American, Hispanic and white families.
