Exposure, threat appraisal, and lost confidence as predictors of PTSD symptoms following September 11, 2001
Six months after September 11, 2001 (9/11), 124 New York City workers participated in a self-report study of symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although direct exposure to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 was limited, estimates of the prevalence of current PTSD in this mostly ethnic minority population ranged from 7.8% to 21.2%, as measured by the PTSD Checklist (F. W. Weathers, B. T. Litz, D. S. Herman, J. A. Huska, & T. M. Keane, 19…

Welfare reform and access to family-supportive benefits in the workplace
Welfare reform has focused on the deficits of poor mothers, while ignoring inadequacies in the jobs and workplaces they will enter. This study of 2,375 pregnant women in the labor force examines the impact of job and workplace characteristics on access to workplace benefits that are important to families, while controlling statistically for women's education, marital status, and ethnicity
Strengthening mental health services in Head Start
Children and adolescents look at their parents' jobs
While young people are fairly good predictors of their parents' job satisfaction and working conditions, they do not know more about mothers' than fathers' jobs, even though mothers may talk more about their work
Head Start as a social support for mothers
Parents' participation in Head Start activities was investigated for its possible effect on their psychological well-being. A pretest and posttest design was used. Results indicated a positive relationship: mothers who participated more reported fewer psychological symptoms, greater feelings of mastery, and greater current life satisfaction at the end of the program year. Implications for policy and research are discussed

Women's Jobs and Family Adjustment
THIS study investigated the relationship between multiple characteristics of women's jobs and their family adjustment in a sample of 99 women in dual-earner families. Six work-related variables were considered simultaneously as predictors of family adjustment: intrinsic job gratification, satisfaction with job security, job-related mood, time spent at work, occupational prestige, and salary. The results were consistent with the hypothesis that wo…
