Mothers' Subjective Employment Experiences and the Behaviour of Their Nursery School Children

Article Abstract:

Research has been done on the influence of mothers' employment experience on their nursery school children. Three experiences important to mothers' employment are assessed. First, maternal job satisfaction is studied. The second variable includes mothers' involvement with their job. Finally, mothers' role conflict is studied. Correlation between maternal employment experiences and the reported behaviors of their children are shown in the tables. The results of this study go beyond stereotypes associated with the maternal deprivation hypothesis that suggests the effects of maternal employment on children are inevitably negative. Maternal employment is seen to influence the children depending on the type or quality of the mothers' employment experience.

Intensive clinical and subjective studies: 'Interviewing Eddie.'

Article Abstract:

Science has finally caught up with the fact that literary narrative can convey truth more strongly by arousing the reader's power to empathize. Those in the sciences are slowly recognizing the fact that the genre 'scientific writing,' in representing empirical reality is as selective and as partial fiction and that its verity is as 'questionable.' 'Interviewing Eddie,' written in fictive style, recreates the situation for the reader by allowing the characters to speak and by giving them corporeality. It takes the reader to the space and time in which the situation took place. This sense of 'being there' results in greater empathy and perceptual clarity.

Psychosocial determinants of whether and how much new mothers work: a study in the United States and Argentina

Article Abstract:

The two best determinants of the employment of mothers of young infants are years of marriage and the period of employment during pregnancy. This was gleaned from a study of the psychosocial factors predicting mothers' decisions to work and number of hours worked by employed mothers. These findings may be explained by the fact that mothers who have been married longer are more adept at integrating the different responsibilities of work and motherhood, while mothers who took a leave from work early in their pregnancy will more likely return to work after giving birth.
