Abstract

Abstract The present study examined the self-perceptions of 28 Black single mothers enrolled in a four-year college program in the U.S. Participants (M age = 30 yr., SD = 6.1) described their experiences and self-narratives as Black single mothers who are studying and working in addition to their child-raising duties. A structured interview format was utilized to collect the data, which were analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicated that these mothers successfully navigated their various roles. Six themes emerged from the interviews: these mothers focused on family cohesiveness, education, spirituality, support networks (family and government), motivation for a better life in addition to teaching their children to respect others. Implications for practice are offered for enhancing the parenting success of single Black mothers.

黑人单身母亲上大学的自我认知
本研究调查了28名美国黑人单身母亲的自我认知。参与者(年龄30岁,SD = 6.1)描述了她们作为黑人单身母亲的经历和自我叙述,除了抚养孩子的责任外,她们还在学习和工作。采用结构化访谈的形式收集数据,并对数据进行定性分析。研究结果表明,这些母亲成功地驾驭了自己的各种角色。采访中出现了六个主题:除了教孩子尊重他人之外,这些母亲还关注家庭凝聚力、教育、精神、支持网络(家庭和政府)、改善生活的动机。为提高单亲黑人母亲的育儿成功率提供了实践启示。
