This study was designed to investigate the relation between selected family factors and the quality of the home environment for children, and to identify factors that predict the cognitive competence of children in Pakistan. Fifty 4 to 6 year-old children and their mothers were included in the sample. The sample was drawn from randomly selected schools in Peshawar, the capital city of the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. The results of the study indicated a positive relationship between mothers' education, fathers' occupational status, mothers' satisfaction with their work life and the quality of the home environment mothers provided fortheir children. Number of children was negatively related to the quality of the rearing environment. Traditional religious beliefs had an indirect effect on the home environment via the number of children. Mothers with relatively traditional beliefs tended to have more children. Additional analysis showed that the quality of the rearing environment was positively related to the cognitive competence of children. |
