Rodman, Hyman; Pratto, David J.
Journal of Marriage and the Family, v49 n3 p573-78 Aug 1987
Investigated factors associated with amount of time children spend in self-care among 1,194 mothers of latchkey children. Found that children's age and mother's hours per week of paid employment were significantly related to greater use of self-care arrangements. Mother's frequency of attendance at religious services was related to lesser use of self-care. (Author/NB)
