The study explored a model that integrates human capital, family resource, employment and psychosocial factors to explain variation in economic self-sufficiency (ESS) among single mothers. A sample of 851 single mothers on Aid to Families with Dependent Children was selected from the Washington State Family Income Study data base. Data from a three-year period (6/88-5/91) were utilized to describe and analyze single mothers in transition from welfare. When compared to a sample of non-poor single mothers, mothers on public assistance differed significantly in several ways: They were younger, had more children and were more likely to have parents who received public assistance. Educational levels were significantly lower, as was employment activity. Economic self-sufficiency was measured as the ratio of welfare benefits to household income. Degree of ESS improved over the three-year period: While 60 percent of single mothers relied on welfare for more than half their income in the first year, only 45 percent did by the third year. In analyzing differences in degrees of economic self-sufficiency among single mothers, the following groups of mothers had significantly higher degrees of welfare reliance: never-married and divorced mothers; mothers with a child under age two; mothers with three or more children; non-white mothers; and mothers living in public housing. A path analysis was conducted to determine the relative influence of human capital, family resource, employment and psychosocial factors on later economic self-sufficiency. Number of children and receipt of subsidies positively affected welfare reliance. Education, number of adults in the household and number of months employed negatively affected degree of welfare reliance. A key finding was that, after controlling for differences in human capital, family resources and employment activity, workplace support retained a highly significant, inverse relationship with degree of welfare reliance. Sense of personal control and social support had both direct and indirect effects on degree of welfare reliance, establishing that psychosocial factors mediate impacts of human capital, family and employment factors on economic self-sufficiency. The results support the viability of utilizing stress models to examine objective economic outcomes in future research.

Previous research on the transition to parenthood has focused predominantly on middle-class White married mothers. The present research expands upon this literature by evaluating the transition of non-married, low-income, White and Women of color experiences as new mothers in their transition to parenthood. This investigation uses the Fragile Families Child Wellbeing Study. Data from 1,195 first time mothers were examined. Baseline data on mothers, as well as one-year follow-up data, were used to evaluate the New Mothers' Relationship Satisfaction Model. This model was developed as a response to the current literature and theory as it related to low-income, people of color, and single never married women who have been overlooked or ignored in the literature. The New Mothers' Relationship Satisfaction Model examines the effects of expectation fulfillment, father's behavior, experience of motherhood and family support on mothers' relationship satisfaction. The model was then used to evaluate different groups of mothers based on their race/ethnicity and then their relationship status. Findings indicated race/ethnicity and relationship status differences among several of the constructs in the New Mothers' Relationship Satisfaction Model. For some women the experience of motherhood and father's behavior did not have a significant effect of their relationship satisfaction as predicted by the current literature. This investigation takes the first step in providing a comparison group of new mothers that have been overlooked by much of the research in this area. This research underscores the importance of differences that exist in mothers' transition to parenthood and points to a need for further research with more diverse populations. Social scientists interested in the transition to parenthood must focus their research and theory on a more diverse population of new mothers in order to fully understand and give meaning to this experience.

This qualitative life history illuminates the experiences of four low-income single mother students in their undergraduate degree pursuit. The lenses of radical feminism, Schlossberg's Transition Theory, Intersectionality, and the concept of Stigma were used to understand the experiences. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis and captured the interwoven nature of the women's on and off campus lives by exploring the participant's perception of the enabling or hindering experiences attributed to their undergraduate degree completion. Using Schlossberg's Transition Theory, the study findings demonstrate how best to support low-income single mother students. While emotional and financial supports were found to be the largest contributors to degree completion, considering the intersectionality of the women's identities reminds academic professionals each student brings a unique story to campus. The data also found the perceived threat of stigmatization on campus served to diminish the women's determined mindset needed to complete their undergraduate degree.

How can we make sense of change and stability through the lifespan of human development? What role does personal experience, our relationships with others, and historical and sociocultural contexts play in shaping these changes? This is the first book to offer an integrative overview of the range of developmental transitions which occur through the lifespan. Bringing together different theoretical and conceptual perspectives and a broad range of empirical research including quantitative and qualitative approaches, this book encompasses a range of complex transitional forms. Covering topics such as health transitions, transitions in friendships and romantic relationships, career transitions, and societal transitions, this book takes the reader beyond a focus on childhood and adolescence, to look at the whole lifespan. Reflecting a perspective that takes into account a sociocultural past and present, this book seeks to show how transitions can be viewed as both an experience of uncertainty and possibility. Transitions perform important functions and present psychosocial opportunities. Developmental Transitions is essential reading for all undergraduate and graduate students of developmental and cultural psychology and is also a valuable resource for academics and practitioner audiences interested in stability and change as people age.

The pandemic has brought an overwhelmingly higher risk of challenges into the lives of single mothers. These mothers have been susceptible to transitioning into a new learning environment with their children being home, such as the impact of schools and childcare closure, or no additional educational support for their children. For school aged children, COVID-19 has resulted in difficult changes and transitions---including moving to virtual learning, and missed opportunities for socialization with peers. In collaboration with CSU, Northridge and the Single Mothers Outreach Organization, we have submitted a $30,000 grant to the Henry Mayo Newhall Foundation. This grant will be utilized to equip low income single mothers with mental health focused case management and tutoring for their school-aged children. This project will offer the single mothers and their children support to address their psychological and emotional state during this pandemic. The challenges brought on by the pandemic have been detrimental to single mothers. The loss of job opportunities, reduced income, or no income at all are some of the barrier's single mothers face regarding finances, yet still having to stay home and care for their children. These challenges are overlooked as single mothers are the highest population experiencing poverty. Hertz et al. (2020) states "under a pandemic regime, it would be logical to expect all parents to be stressed, but single mothers more than any other category, as they must single-handedly work for pay in the odd hours when children are otherwise occupied, develop vii and/or interpret and then execute lesson plans for their children, and find ways to support relatives and friends who may be in even more challenging straits than themselves". To compensate, Single Mothers Outreach will provide individual therapy, workshops, and support groups for moms and children-centered therapy based on needs, language skills, and age ranges. The outcome of this program will be 100 low income single mothers who will benefit by learning how to manage psychological distress. As a result of the programming, single mothers will have an extension in self-confidence, empowerment, positive self-esteem, and tools to advance their parental skills. This will also support mothers in relationship building with their children in a positive home environment. These mothers will provide feedback on the effectiveness of the program through a survey upon completion. Also, 25 children will register for tutoring services in individual and group sessions. The children will display improvement in core subjects and compare report cards between initial and completion of program. Children will have the opportunity to build relationships, enhance their self-esteem, mature emotionally, and interact with the tutors.
