percentages were examined to see if there were percentage
differences between each of the three independent variables
and the dependent variable. In general Mexican-Americas
female single parents had little or no difficulty in
caring for sick children, but some patterns were evident.
More female single parents first turned to friends, second-
ly to primary relatives, and thirdly they approached no
one if they wanted to discuss personal problems or needed
advice regarding their children. If the Mexican-American
female single parents wanted to discuss personal problems,
or needed advice regarding their children, they consulted
friends or kin. If the Mexican-American female single
parents wanted to discuss problems in relationships with
men, relatively few approached any of their relatives,
preferring to approach friends or no one. However, these
patterns did not greatly affect the female single mothers'
ability to take care of sick children.
Time With the Children
The following distribution and proportions were found
for all sixteen independent variables, regardless of whether
the variables were financial or emotional support variables:
thirty-seven Mexican-American female single parents (43.0
percent) did not have any difficulty in finding time to
spend with their children, seventeen female single mothers
(19.7 percent) experienced very little difficulty.
