520 $a The major purpose of this study was to examine sources of family stress variables: finance, gender matters, health, highest grade obtained at school, housing, legal matters, male-female relations, marital/partner relations, number of children, parenting, personal habits, personal relations, race/ethnic matters, religion, safety and work in a sample of African-American single-parents.
520 $a The population consisted of Mid-Western African-American single parents and Mexican single parents. The Ethnic Families Research Project (EFRP) selected a sample of 300 subjects, but for this study, 148 single African-Americans who met the research criteria were selected.
520 $a The mean age of the participants was 34.41 years while the mean income was $3 ,500. Most of the participants fall under the poverty level as defined by national minimum averages ( $1 6,000--00 for an urban family of 4. All the subjects were single parents, 43% never married, 2.7% widowed or widower, 25% divorced and 21% separated. The gender representation in this single parenthood sample consisted of 21 males and 126 females. The majority in the sample, 32.4% had three children; 20.3% had two children and 18.9% had one child each. Only 32.4% were working, 38% were unemployed and 14.2% were homemakers. The highest grade obtained by the majority of participants was the twelfth grade. The average grade was 12.37. The largest percent 45.9% had completed the twelfth grade, 17.8% the eleventh grade and 10.8% two year college graduates.
520 $a The data was analyzed in Michigan State University computer laboratory facilities. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) computer programs for frequencies, and correlation was used to analyze the data. The data analysis began with descriptive statistics which gave the mean, standard deviation, variance, range and percentages of the various dependent and independent variables. A correlation was used at the .01. The 01 level of significance to examine the relationship between the sources of stress, the fourteen stress variables. All variables were significant. Inter-correlation showed correlation in thirteen variables while finance was not related to all of the others. Finance was the most stressful variable while race matters were the least stressful.
520 $a While it is expected that this study may provide additional insights into the relational factors of family stress, an examination of larger population samples would enhance the generalizability of the findings.
