Abstract

The home environments of 20 3- and 4-yr.-old, middle-class children were assessed with the preschool version of the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME). The two groups of 10 children were equal on maternal education, hours mother was employed outside the home, and the ages of the children. Scores on the total HOME and the Toys, Games, and Reading Materials subscale were significantly higher for the children in intact families than for the children in divorced families. The HOME scale may be useful in determining the specific environmental deficiencies in homes of divorced families.
