having feelings of overwhelming responsibilities. There was
a low measure of association between being lower or lower-
middle in social status and having experienced a higher level
(moderate, good bit, a great deal) of feeling overwhelmed,
y=_.129. This association was apparent in the association
between having no more than a high school diploma and having
experienced higher levels of anxiety. The following soci-
oeconomic status independent variables were related to low
levels of association with this particular dependent variable.
The higher the income category, the more likely the single
parents felt more intense pressure, y=-.116; there were low
levels of association between ex—husbands who were legally
required to provide child-support payments and higher levels
of having felt overwhelmed, y=.156, and ex—husbands who never
missed support payments and higher feelings of being over-
whelmed, y=-.122. It should be noted however, that the
associations are slight, not strong and tenacious. How often
the single parents saw relatives, including parents, and other
people, was negligible in magnitude of association; being
employed and having experienced higher levels of feelings of
being overwhelmed was moderate in strength. A close look at
the data for this subsection indicated surprisingly large
numbers of female single parents who experienced higher levels
of having felt overwhelmed by the demands of the children,
even though they seemed to have emotional and financial
resources that seemed to offer strength with other tasks.
