Using the statistical technique of 'path analysis, it was fbund that older children, girls, and children who staiv alone after school feel more negatively aftected by their mothers' employment than younger children, boys, and children who are supervised after school. Children's attitudes about their mothers' employment are influenced by their perception of their mothers' feelings about employment.
