Tested a model linking family financial resources to adjustment
among African American 6- to 9-year olds with single, rural, Southern
mothers. Found that inadequate financial resources related to mothers'
depression and low self-esteem. Self esteem was linked with family
routines and mother-child relationship quality. Child self-regulation
mediated paths from mother-child relationship quality and family
routines to child academic and psychosocial adjustment. (Author/KB)
