Abstract

This paper examines several indices of maternal stress to answer the question, Does where a child resides affect the stress a mother experiences in parenting? The analysis focuses on maternal self-report measures using the Maternal Separation Anxiety Scale and its three subscales. Additionally, I argue that career salience, or the importance one places on one’s career, offers a protective measure to maternal stress. In the remainder of the paper, I will review the literature on long distance mothering, deployment parenting and maternal stress and then introduce the research study, discuss the findings and results, and make suggestions for policy reforms.
