Developmental Psychology, v27 n4 p637-43 Jul 1991

Examined afterschool care for 390 third through fifth graders who were part of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Children in the care of single mothers after school had higher ratings for antisocial behaviors, anxiety, and peer conflicts. However, indications of these problems disappeared when analyses controlled for family income and emotional support. (SH)
