单选题 An Ohio State University study has linked behavior in young children{{U}} 61 {{/U}}the type of job their mother has. Mothers with complex occupations that are self-directed and require working with other people{{U}} 62 {{/U}}to have offspring with relatively low levels of behavior problems. The opposite held{{U}} 63 {{/U}}when the jobs were routine, closely supervised, and dealt with things, rather than people.
"A job that challenges and interests a mother and gives her an opportunity to exercise judgment and solve problems clearly has{{U}} 64 {{/U}}consequences for her children's behavior," indicates{{U}} 65 {{/U}}professor of sociology Elizabeth Mengaghan. Occupations with more positive conditions include management, sales, and teaching positions. Jobs that may be related to increased child behavior problems include book keeping, food service, and{{U}} 66 {{/U}}line positions.
Women who are supervised closely at work and made to{{U}} 67 {{/U}}strict orders may be more likely to use this same style in{{U}} 68 {{/U}}their kids. They may emphasize obedience to parental authority and the potential for{{U}} 69 {{/U}}punishment. "We believe that the choice of such a parenting style may increase the{{U}} 70 {{/U}}of behavior problems in children." On the{{U}} 71 {{/U}}hand, mothers whose jobs are less controlled by supervisors and{{U}} 72 {{/U}}must work closely with other people probably rely less on physical punishment,{{U}} 73 {{/U}}encouraging children to think about consequences of their actions and{{U}} 74 {{/U}}responsibility for their behavior.{{U}} 75 {{/U}}an approach encourages youngsters to follow parental demands{{U}} 76 {{/U}}they aren't being supervised because they have accepted parental values as their own. Moreover, mothers whose jobs don't{{U}} 77 {{/U}}constant supervision"{{U}} 78 {{/U}}problem-solving skills that they can bring to other parts of their life".
The research also found that those who have{{U}} 79 {{/U}}challenging and interesting jobs provide better home environments for their children. The mothers give their offspring more intellectual stimulation and emotional support, and this,{{U}} 80 {{/U}}turn, is linked to fewer behavior problem.
