Maternal and Family Predictors of School Readiness in Black, Hispanic, and White 6- and 7-Year-Olds Presented: New Orleans, LA, 60th Anniversary Meetings of the Society for Research in Child Development, March 24-28, 1993 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) Keyword(s): Ethnic Differences; Ethnic Studies; Fathers, Absence; Hispanics; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Parents, Single; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT); Poverty; School Entry/Readiness; Sex Roles Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study endeavored to determine whether various maternal and family characteristics predictive of school readiness and achievement in 6 and 7 year old children operated in equivalent or dissimilar manners in three ethnic groups: Black, Hispanic, and Caucasian. In all three groups maternal ability level and education, as well as poverty status, showed the most consistent predictive correlations, while single parenthood was not a significant predictor. Spouse education and maternal attitudes towards womens' roles seemed to operate differently depending on ethnicity.

Home visits provided measures of maternal and family characteristics and of children's vocabulary, math, reading, and behavior problems. Single parenthood was essentially unrelated to the child outcomes in all ethnic groups, and it did not interact with maternal education, ability level, or employment or with poverty status or child gender. Although single- and 2-parent families differed in income, they were very similar in maternal ability and education levels, thus suggesting that in the presence of positive maternal or family characteristics supportive of children's development, single parenthood as such need not represent a risk factor for these early child outcomes.

The author investigated whether adverse effects of single parenthood not observed in 6-7-year-old NLSY (National Longitudinal Study of Youth) children might emerge when they reached 12-13 years of age. Outcomes included mathematics, reading, vocabulary scores, and behavior problem ratings. Little or no evidence of systematic negative effects emerged at the later age except for some isolated findings in the Black sample that suggested that vocabulary scores were somewhat negatively influenced by years of single-parent experience and positively affected by extended 2-parent experience. The general absence of adverse effects, as well as the minimally significant relationships found in the Black sample, may be explained in terms of the role played by maternal education and ability. The findings suggest that the presence of positive maternal attitudes and parenting resources may significantly mitigate the likelihood of adverse child outcomes of single parenthood.
