The effect of mothers' out-of-home employment upon children's ideas and attitudes

Abstract

A comparison was made of 100 children whose mothers worked with 100 children of non-working mothers on the basis of a special "Home Blank." Significant differences were found between these two groups in home conditions and somewhat less extensive ones in attitudes. The results seem to indicate that children whose mothers work, although at a disadvantage in many home conditions, adjust favorably in attitude toward conditions in general.
