dc.description.abstract | This study explores the effects of family structure (single mother by choice/partnered mother), pathway to
motherhood (adoption/assisted reproduction techniques or ART), and parenting style on children’s
psychological adjustment and social competence. Ninety-eight families participated: 45 single mothers
by choice (29 adoptive, 16 by ART); and 53 partnered mothers (27 adoptive, 26 by ART). Ninety-eight
children were evaluated (Age = 5.36) by their teachers. As regards family structure, children of single
mothers by choice (both adopted and conceived by ART) showed good psychological adjustment and good
social competence. No significant differences were observed between them and those living with two
parents when all were conceived by ART. However, children adopted by single mothers had higher
hyperactivity and lower self-control than those living with two adoptive parents. No differences were
observed in terms of nurturing parenting style, either between single and partnered mothers, or between
adoptive and ART mothers. The nurturing parenting style significantly predicted better psychological
adjustment and social competence among children. The results are discussed in connection with the debate
regarding the effect of structure versus family processes on children’s psychosocial adjustment. The
implications for interventions with single mothers by choice are also explored. | es |
