Abstract
The present investigation examined the effects of maternal employment on the well-being of 93 male and 181 female adolescents. Subjects were high school students who participated by anonymously completing a questionnaire during class periods. Maternal employment had no effect on the experiences of males but females whose mothers worked outside the home reported greater life stress, less social support from their mothers, and poorer well-being.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
