Work Involvement and Timing of Motherhood in the Accumulation of Problems in Social Functioning in Young Women.
Ronka, Anna; Pulkkinen, Lea
Journal of Research on Adolescence, v8 n2 p221-39 1998
Examined longitudinally the relationship between earlier risk factors and later problems in young Finnish women's social functioning. Found that low work involvement mediated between risk factors and accumulation of problems in social functioning in young adulthood. Risk factors increased the likelihood of early motherhood, but early motherhood had an indirect effect through work involvement on social functioning problems. (Author/KB)
