作者使用了国家儿童健康和人类发展研究所早期儿童保育和青少年发展研究（N = 1364）的数据来检查母亲从婴儿期到童年中期的工作时间状况和养育（敏感性和学习机会）。工作时间状态被定义为非就业、兼职和全职。对协变量进行调整后，与没有工作的母亲相比，兼职母亲具有更高的敏感性得分和更高的儿童学习机会提供得分，这些差异表征了儿童早期而不是儿童中期的家庭。当母亲在幼儿时期全职工作（与兼职相比）时，她提供的孩子学习机会更大。除儿童年龄外，母亲的少数民族地位和伴侣地位也调节了母亲工作时间地位与母亲养育子女的关系。总的来说，研究结果支持角色扩张理论提出的观点。
The authors used data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (N = 1,364) to examine maternal work hour status and parenting (sensitivity and learning opportunities) from infancy through middle childhood. Work hour status was conceptualized as nonemployment, part time, and full time. Adjusting for covariates, mothers employed part time had higher sensitivity scores and higher provision of child learning opportunity scores than did mothers who were not employed, and these differences characterized families during early childhood rather than middle childhood. Mothers' provision of child learning opportunities was greater when she was employed full time (vs. part time) during early childhood. In addition to child age, mothers' ethnic minority status and partner status moderated the association between maternal work hour status and mothers' parenting. In general, the findings supported ideas forwarded by role expansionist theory.
