| Summary: | 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. | |
