The sample included 1,365 families with children between ages 3 and 5 years at study entry. Results 5 years after random assignment, when children were ages 8-10 years, indicated that mothers{\textquoteright} education preferences did moderate program impacts on teacher-reported child behavior problems and positive behavior. Children whose mothers were assigned to the education program were rated by teachers to have less externalizing behavior and more positive behavior than children whose mothers were assigned to the employment program but only when mothers had strong preferences for education.}, keywords = {*Child Behavior, *Education, *Mandatory Programs, Child, Child Behavior Disorders/*psychology, Choice Behavior, Educational Status, Employment/*psychology, Female, Humans, Interpersonal Relations, Mothers/*psychology, Personal Satisfaction, Random Allocation, Social Security, United States}, isbn = {1467-8624 (Electronic)
