Mothering under pressure: environmental, child, and dyadic correlates of maternal self-efficacy among low-income women

Article Abstract:

Low-income mothers generally have quite a high opinion of their parenting abilities, reporting mean levels of self-efficacy similar to those of more socioeconomically advantaged, non-depressed mothers of young children. This research assessed child, dyadic and environmental correlates of mothers' views on parenting self-efficacy among women bringing up toddlers in an urban region of high poverty. It was established that women's feelings of self-efficacy seem to be inversely linked with their ratings of their child's temperamental difficulty.

Are self-report measures of dyadic relationships influenced by impression management biases?

Article Abstract:

Researchers can rely on the authenticity of anonymous self-report data about common aspects of marriage, as seen in the reporting of dyadic relationship information with and without impression management biases. Analyses show that impression management biases did not affect women's self-reports, while men associated it with their reports. Still, the partners' agreement about observable aspects of their relationship did not change when the influences of such biases were statistically removed.
