Abstract

A structured interview schedule was administered to mothers from 89 families in Pennsylvania whose children were either enrolled in day-care centers or were on a day-care waiting list. Evidence from these interviews indicated that satisfaction with substitute child care was positively related with maternal work satisfaction, but not with the quality of mother-child interaction. Work satisfaction and quality of mother-child interaction, however, were positively correlated to one another. The constructs of role dominance and shifting role dominance were used to conceptualize the problem and interpret the findings.
