- Abstract:
- Purpose : The study evaluated the influence of the strength of the parental alliance on working mother’s adjustment to their family, work and community roles. Participants completed an anonymous on-line survey consisting of measures assessing working mothers’ parental alliance with their spouse as well as their social adjustment in work, family and community roles. The dependent variables were three measures of the degree of social adjustment at work, in the community, and in the family. The independent variable consisted of the strength of the parenting alliance. The confounding variables depended on the area of social adjustment and included age, level of employment demand, time since birth, and first—time mother status. Method : The study was a correlational study using quantitative methods of investigation. A sample of 135 working mothers were recruited through email distribution lists and a website. Regression analysis was the statistical procedure utilized to investigate the relationship between the conceptual variables of the parenting alliance and social adjustment as operationalized through the instruments, the Parenting Alliance Measure (PAM) and the Social Adjustment Self Report Scale (SAS-SR).
