Data from a national sample of 878, 4- to 9-year-old children in single-mother families were used to test a structural model of the effect of poverty on children s socioemotional problems. Results show that the effect of poverty is mediated by maternal depression and mothers use of physical punishment. Maternal depression influences children s socioemotional problems both directly, and also indirectly through physical punishment.
