Note. Youth’s reports of mothers’ positive and negative moods after work were entered as separate dependent variables. Youth age, gender, mother education, day in study, and negative work experiences were entered as covariates in the models. All between-person predictors (BP = between-person) were centered around the sample mean.

a

Positive/negative experiences at work were coded as yes (1) or no (0).

b

Youth gender was coded as female (0) or male (1).

c

Mother’s education was coded as 1 = Completed grade 1 through 8 to 5 = College Graduate.

d

Day in study was coded as 0=Day 1 to 7 = Day 7.
