Analyzed the impact of work, family, and welfare on change in 3,076 White women's self-esteem from 1980, when the Ss were aged 15-23 yrs to 1987 when they were aged 22-30 yrs. National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data are used to test the effects of work, family, and welfare roles, conditions, and length of role occupancy on change in self-esteem during the transition to adulthood. Results show that marriage tends to improve self- esteem, whereas motherhood and welfare receipt depress it. The effect of being employed interacts with age and motherhood: the positive effect of being employed on change in self-esteem is strongest for younger mothers; the effect is slightly negative for older, childless Ss. Several conditions of work and family mediate the effects of role occupancy on change in self-esteem. (PsycINFO Database Copyright 1996 American Psychological Assn, all rights reserved) |
