Abstract
This study focuses on the attitudes of twenty five
mothers, residing in two housing projects, whose children
attended the Operation Headstart Program at the Cambridge
Neighborhood House during the summer of 1965. The purpose
of this study was to discern the mother's role in her
child's response to a program which offers a major solution
to the problem of cultural deprivation.
The study chose to examine the mother's role because
of the importance which the family, and the mother particularly,
plays in terms of providing the foundation for the
child's emotional, social, and physical development. The
housing projects were chosen because they represent another
of society's major attempts to deal with the problems of
the underprivileged.
The group chosen for this study are residents of two
housing projects in Cambridge, Massachusetts. These housing
projects are located across the street from the Cambridge
Neighborhood House. Names of subjects were obtained from
the Neighborhood House, and were then contacted by letter.
All interviews were conducted on a home visit basis.
