Abstract
An exploration of possible associations using school adjustment measure for boys and interview schedule for mothers, the sample in this study included 52 mother-son pairs. The mothers' perceiving situation as worse and naming dislike about the son and lack of M-S social activity was related to sons' low adjustment. The sons' participation in household tasks and mothers' neutral or positive attitude toward father was related to sons' high adjustment. Adjustment was not related to degree of fatherabsence, age of child at separation, sons' ordinal position, sex of sibs, extent of extended family interaction, or prior father-son relationship. The mothers' attitudes and behavior appeared crucial to sons' adjustment.
