我们探讨了低收入母亲可能的自我的内容，以及她们为实现可能的自我所采取的策略。积极的期望自我专注于找工作、维持生计和照顾他人。要避免的消极自我集中在入不敷出，失去（或找不到）工作，以及心理健康问题上。直接的社会背景——而不是人口特征或全球工作家庭变量——与可能自我的内容有关。控制人口统计和工作家庭变量，以工作为中心的可能自我（以及实现这些自我的策略）更为突出；在工作培训项目中，与福利办公室相比，母亲们对照顾和心理健康相关的可能自我的重视程度较低。
We explored the content of possible selves of low‐income mothers and the strategies they have to work on their possible selves. Positive expected possible selves focus on getting a job, making ends meet, and caregiving. Negative to‐be‐avoided possible selves focus on failing to make ends meet, losing (or not getting) jobs, and problems with mental health. Immediate social context—rather than demographic characteristics or global work–family variables—was associated with content of possible selves. Controlling for demographic and work–family variables, job‐focused possible selves (and strategies to attain them) were more salient; and caregiving and mental‐health‐related possible selves were less salient to mothers in job‐training programs vs. welfare offices.
