Description
A study of 112 single parents drawn from two populations (one urban, one
rural) was conducted to determine if flexibility across situations, or
androgyny, facilitates adjustment to single parenthood. Life satisfaction
and coping responses were used as measures of adjustment to single
parenthood. Chi square, correlation, and analysis of variance testing
of the results revealed that adjustment to single parenthood is greatest
among those who receive scores of "androgynous" or "masculine" using the
Bern Sex Role Inventory. Length of employment also had a positive effect
on adjustment to single parenthood. Other covariates (e.g., "cause" of
single parenting, length of single parenting, length of "househusbanding")
did not significantly affect adjustment to single parenthood.
