| Abstract: |
• Food-related tasks are demanding activities in all households because of their regularity, frequency, and centrality to family activities and relationships. This study develops typologies for food task orientations and strategies used by mothers, and studies the relationships among them. It uses a systems-based framework to examine related inputs and outcomes of these orientations and strategies and compares the situations of married and single mothers. The findings indicate some strategies are more successful than others as predictors of various work-family outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
